“You can’t love somebody until you love yourself.” I don’t know who said this, but it’s genius. And absolutely true. And, no, this is not what “love yourself” means …
Of course, if that’s what it meant, nobody would have a problem with love. Anywho …
It’s the absolute truth. You might love somebody, but you are not going to love them like you should if you don’t think you rock. It’s just that simple (and you can think you rock without being a conceited piece of crap) …
Part of loving yourself is having confidence. Take it from somebody who did not have much pre-Shana. As I mentioned in a previous blog, Shana had to ask me three times before I finally realized she was asking. That was due to a lack of confidence. Pretty much thought my chances were …

Muscles, good looks, money … that’s great, but if you can’t make her laugh, forget about it. And how do you do that? Hope your sense of humor is good. Oh, and don’t try too hard. Just doesn’t work. You’re either funny, or you’re not.
NOTES
Not that I’ve researched this, but I bet the majority of women save notes and letters from their significant others. It could be a short poem or song lyrics, even just an “I love you.” A quick, sweet note before work sets the tone for her day …

very nice, and so true 🙂
