Would you date yourself?
āIāve been single for a few years now. My friends have set me up a few times. Iāve tried dating all sorts of people. Iām starting to think that my ideal partner doesnāt exist. Who would want to date me anyway?ā Does this sound like you?
Itās easy for people to say to you āJust stay positive and believe.ā But thatās not always so easy. Especially when youāve put yourself out there to ask someone out and they knocked you back or they decide they want to be just friends.
A good way to think about it is āWould you date yourself?āĀ To keep yourself going and to stay positive, list all of your best qualities. Donāt be stingy! Include everything you can possibility think of. Little children love meā¦..Iām a great cookā¦ā¦..I make people feel at easeā¦My ears are very cuteā¦ā¦
List as many things as you can possibly think of. Be lavish in your praise for yourself. Once you realise what a good catch you are, youāll become more attractive to others. Write your list and add to it every time you think of something else to add. Ask your friends to contribute as well. Youāll be surprised what they will say that you hadnāt even thought of. Keep the list somewhere you can see it everyday to remind you that anyone would be lucky to have you as a partner.
You can also use this opportunity to recognise anything about yourself that could do with some tweaking. If you have some true friends who can be straight with you, they may point out some behaviour that could be holding you back in this quest. If their intentions are for your betterment, listen and take on board their comments.
Itās never about the girls or guys out there. Itās always about you and where your focus is. Be certain about your value and others will recognise it too.
