The harsh reality that many women struggle to admit is that if you are dating a guy who doesn’t make you happy—I mean overwhelmingly, so clearly, no question about it happy—you don’t fully love yourself. Some women cringe or close up when someone suggests they don’t fully love themselves because it can feel like an accusation that that woman isn’t strong or that she has issues. But believe it or not most people on this planet could work on loving themselves some more. Due to things you experienced in your past, the simple concern about being an egomaniac and several other factors, you may resist seeking out the life and relationship you actually deserve. When you do start operating from the simple question, “Does this make me happy?” you’ll be amazed how much simpler life gets, including relationships. Here are the types of men you date when you don’t love yourself.

When you don’t know, from within, that you’re desirable and amazing then you need to prove that to yourself constantly. You might do this by dating the player. Since he is always seeing other women, he provides a form of competition—a way for you to prove your desirability. If you loved yourself and knew from the inside that you were desirable, you wouldn’t put up with this guy.
