I've decided this you will be the year I get into a serious relationship with.............
ME!! Since I get along with me better than anyone else, I've decided to stop actively "looking for love", and concentrate on whom I love best......me. No more disappointment, wondering "why", and all the other bullshit.
If something happens organically, well, fine. But I'm not counting on it, and for once, in a very long time, I'm fine with it.
Taking the time to make peace with your self and better understand your own priorities will open doors in so many ways! I finally realized that the stress of constantly 'searching' for a partner created a different persona than my true self, blurring my impression of others. It is no wonder the men I met would soon appear entirely different, and less appealing, than I had thought them to be!
It is such a relief when you reach this stage. ?
If you fall out with yourself make-up sex should be interesting ??
Sex with me is always interesting, break up or not.
@AzVixen52 self-love AND self-praise ? LOL ?
I think you have made a very wise choice. That doesn't mean you shut others out and you can't enjoy being with others.
Be honest and respectful and don't take any shit from yourself. If you find you're keeping secrets from yourself or, god forbid, you betray your trust, break it off! Love requires effort and commitment from both you and yourself. Don't rush into anything until you're both ready.
When you take care of yourself, you get a sense of calm and confidence that comes out and is attractive...you show your real self and most of the bullshit stops before it can even get started...good for you...even if you don't find the love you seek, you are ahead because you still have and always will have you!
