Single attraction?

Have you ever wondered why, when you're single, no one approaches, but the minute you're taken, your exes or strangers suddenly come running, wanting to be with you? Why is that?

In an age where we share almost everything, a shift in our relationship status is pretty obvious. But other reasons come to mind. Here are some thoughts:

1. Cheaters love company. A man or woman may want to form Cheaters 'R' Us Inc. with you, since he or she is in a relationship too.

2. The thrill of a challenge. Someone else has you and that is the time your exes or new pursuits get excited, relishing a chance to 'steal' your heart.

3. You may be exuding a new found confidence now that you are off the market. Confidence is sexy so that could explain all the added attention.

Here's some advice:

-Don't be fooled — avoid the rebound call since that hardly lasts.

-Stay focused on becoming a better, stronger version of yourself and only start a new relationship when you're truly ready.
