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.
