If you want true love you can’t be a fake person when looking for it.

Now. Right this instant, stop telling yourself that YOU cannot find love as YOURSELF. You can. The question is, is the love of someone just like you worth it to you? In other words, would you date you? What you give is what you get. Give what you want and you’ll get it back the same.

Would you date you?

If not, you’ve got some work to do. You’ll have to become the person you’d love to give to another, a person you’d gladly date, love, and marry.

If you want true love, you have to stop pretending you’re some other person. That’s the first rule. You cannot think you’d do better by pretending to be someone better. Either you have to look for love as yourself, or actually become better.

You must look for love as the person who you enjoy to be for the rest of your life. You are not supposed to stop being yourself the minute the ring slips in your finger. Not the minute you become a parent, either.

If you love the person you’re with for who they are, never let them doubt that you want them as that person for ever. If they seem depressed about the thought of having to keep up the act for another year, two… They’re not who they pretend to be.
