I don't think it means I am always attracted to the wrong types. How can I ever trust myself in that case or move forward with anyone I feel physically attracted to?

Attraction is simply that - but it doesn't mean you should be with the person. You have to get to know them. I simply meant that I felt physically attracted to this one man that I talked to last night. I wanted to get to know him better, but I can't. And that's a bummer.
Well if he is in a relationship, that’s all a moot point.

I am not saying you’ll always attract wrong men. But you are very vulnerable right now. You aren’t even divorced and are just few weeks separated from your husband.

You aren’t healed from your pain and this is the time when feeling attraction to some random man could be a very wrong thing. Well you can’t control feelings but contemplating acting on them now is not a good idea.

I am not saying you should never date or get to know guys you are attracted to. I do not believe you should be doing it NOW. I am also not saying you can never trust your feelings or date men you are attracted to. It’s not what I am saying. NOW is not the right time for all that. I don’t think you could trust your feelings or your attractions right NOW. Now is a bad time for all that unless you want to attract more drama to your life, I don’t think you do.
Thanks for this!
