Dating with Confidence
There are thousands of people looking for love on the internet everyday. Even more of them are looking for it in bars and clubs. These people, well some of them at least, are great people, they just havent found love. Perhaps that is because they havent learned to love themselves.
Recently, I showed a single friend of mine, a picture of a single acquaintance of mine, hoping to try to hook them up. They are lonely, funny, intelligent and kind people. Their senses of humor are compatible, and they both are attractive. My friend took one look at the picture of her and said No thanks, she is too pretty. Shed just turn me down. I couldnt believe what he was saying. Here he was, a perfectly good looking male, with a ton of outward confidence saying that a girls was, in essence, too god for him.
Just as an experiment I showed her a picture of him, without telling her that he had seen her picture. She had the same reaction. She automatically turned down the proposal of meeting him, because she assumed he wouldnt have any interest in her. She should have all the confidence in the world. She is a beautiful, intelligent, and successful woman; yet, she thought that he was too good for her.
After this incident I have observed this more and more. People staying with people they dont love because of lack of self confidence, and people remaining single for the same reason. If these people could just learn to love themselves they would find it easier to date. Dating without confidence is a dangerous endeavor, because people can pick up on these emotional problems. The people who abuse others, both physically and mentally are draw to people with low self esteem, because they will put up with it in order to feel wanted.
These people need to learn to love themselves, before they can welcome others into their lives. Loving themselves should also make them more open to accepting the love of others.
