I'VE GOT A CRUSHH. IT'S ABOUT TO GET REEAL SERIOUS. I THINK I'M IN LOOVE.
You know how people say "To love someone else, you must first love yourself"? Well, it turns out they are right! If you're looking for a catch, you've got to be a catch. You have to believe it. There's a glow, a certain aura, that people give off when they are in love or loving what they are doing, and people can't help but find it irresistibly attractive. Fall in love with yourself, and you may be surprised to find great things and great people start to gravitate towards you. It's time stop searching out there for your perfect match, and put all that energy back towards yourself. Foster that self-love and self-worth that we so often downplay, ignore or deny. Too often, people settle for what they think they deserve. Do yourself a favor: raise your self-esteem, your standards and your expectations. Today. For a change, try treating yourself the way you would expect your ideal partner to treat you. In other words, date yourself! Compliment yourself, treat yourself, wine and dine yourself, impress yourself. Go out of your way to make you smile. We have an endless supply of love, so toss some of it to the one person that will always be there: you.

#8 RULE OF ME-LOVE

Get to know yourself better

You are getting involved in a very longterm (read: life long) relationship here. It's time to get serious and get to know this person better. Try writing down the answers to some of these questions:

  • What are my dreams?
  • What are my goals?
  • Where do I see myself in 5 years? 10 years?
  • What kind of partner am I?
  • What roles do I play?
  • What are my priorities?
  • What do I have to offer others?
  • How would my friends describe me?
  • What do I value in a friend?
  • What am I proud of?
  • What are my top 3 life-defining moments?
  • What have I learned from my past relationships?
  • Who will cry when I die?
