A lot! I think the best thing I ever did was the last bad break up I had I took a whole year off from dating to just work on myself. I changed all the things that I didn't like about myself. I lost weight, went back to school to take some classes, moved, and even found a new job profession I love!
I lean red to not be so cynical, and to love and accept myself in turn being able to love others with out passing judgment.
I am now married, and feel because I took the time out from dating,I have a better understanding of who I really am. Not just my husband's wife. We do not have the perfect marriage, but I feel that because I learned a lot from my past mistakes in relationships I am not repeating them in my marriage.
Thanks for this question! It was a nice reminder of all the good things I have accomplished!

It may sound kinda corny, but each of my previous relationships added something that helped prepare me for the one I am in now (a very happy marriage). Some of the lessons helped me set expectations more realisticly, some prepared me to be a stable partner, some made me a better lover, but they all contributed someway. I can honestly look back and find something positive in everyone, even ones that ended badly or with me being the dumpee.

Kisses or sex aren't contracts
Great sex does not a relationship make
Men are as faithful as their options
Men who are all about a routine in their free time are not for me
Men are taught to hate women
Men are positively reinforced by other men/society for hating women
Some men will seek their friend's approval before approaching you
Just because you have sex with someone doesn't mean you like or respect them
A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle
Never make someone a priority who makes you an option
Men do not respect women's opinions
"Relationships" do not complete a person
I don't believe in someone for everyone, "someday my prince will come" "the one" or Mr Right.
I do believe in Mr Right Now
Men seek to dominate women
Physically, financially, sexually, mentally
Dating is akin to prostitution
The only use I have for men is sexual
I don't believe in marriage

I know that I can get too self-absorbed in whatever I'm concerned with at the time to the point where that's all that I talk about.
It becomes boring for the other person, so I don't do that anymore. I'd much rather learn about the other person than talk about myself anyway.

My previous relationship tought me patience is a virtue. Although a relationship is appealing waiting and really taking an honest look at your partners quirks and baggage etc., is necessary for the sanity of both your partner and yourself.

I learned that I am responsible for what goes on in MY life--my happiness--my future. I learned all about quick meetings and jumping conclusions--misreading personalities, trusting the wrong people. I have learned about happiness and that I make for my own happiness. I also discovered that I should never lend money.

That I can be a strong, independent person that men will no longer walk on. That I don't need a man but want a man. That I am a very good person and someday that someone special will know that. It's something no man will ever take away from me again.

I learned that I should always keep my friends closer, until I get so serious about a guy that I would give up anything for him, and really mean it, it shouldnt be a one win thing it should be a two together thing...and never jump to conclusions never to just get attention.

That I have to learn how to deal with arguments in a relationship and relationships are not fairy tales you go through up's and downs
