I think perhaps you enjoy the chase and the "honeymoon" period a lot more than you enjoy having to deal with the reality of a relationship. There is always a point where you start to see the other person for who they really are, and either you learn to adjust because you doo have feelings for them, or you give up. I think generally people break up so easily these days, it's sad. I'd say it's a result of mass consumer culture, where everything is disposable, even human relationships.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
