The good news is that no-one is pre-destined to be a serial loser in love, so if you're thinking of resigning yourself to an existence in which your most meaningful relationship is with a bottle of wine à la Bridget, here's how to avoid getting caught in a cycle of painful mistakes. 

Start by analysing your past mistakes and learning the right lessons from them.  
You'll then understand exactly what you want from a relationship. 
Learn to accept yourself, respect yourself and express yourself for who you are - it's the only way he'll love you too.
