Some of my thoughts to reassert my self-esteem and self-confidence when I was faced with the prospect of a new romance:
I don’t have to settle for a guy just because he’s interested in me. I don’t owe him anything. I’m not obligated to return his feelings, and not doing so doesn’t make me a bad person. He will choose to feel and act the way he does and shouldn’t expect to illicit a desired response from me I have a choice in the matter. I don’t have to settle and become entangled in someone else’s drama and negative energy. I owe it to myself to move slowly and make good choices; think for myself, instead of being influenced by another’s persuasion or my own guilt.
You're absolutely right...you do not have to settle...ever. Never make the mistake of feeling that you are in any way obligated to feel a certain way about someone. Just my humble opinion friend :)
ReplyDeleteYes, agreed. These were my thoughts two years ago, which have become even more resolute over the past several months.
