When you meet someone who is truly great, he makes you believe you can be great, too. This is the kind of relationship you want, and it's the only kind of relationship worth having.

Whenever you are too worried about someone else's approval, that person loses respect for you.

The nice girl makes the mistake of being available all the time.

The nice girl thinks she's giving up something to get something better in return. She gives up control over her own life. When the time comes for her to get what she expected, she winds up disappointed. In addition to being empty-handed, she's depleted.

She lets him see how afraid she is to be without him and he soon comes to feel as though he has a 100 percent hold on her. This is often the point when women begin to complain: “He doesn’t make enough time for me. He isn’t as romantic as he used to be.

It is better to be disliked for being who you are than to be loved for who you are not.

If someone else doesn't like your confidence, that's their problem. Why? You always come before they do, that's why.
