5. Remember your unique advantages because confidence is the ultimate aphrodisiac. You’re good at meeting strangers and chatting them up. You’re emotionally sensitive to others’ needs. You’re smart, capable and adaptable, all highly desirable characteristics in a mate.
Lisa, a nurse who read my book, decided she wasn’t seeing herself properly. Plagued by insecurities, she began a list of self-appreciation, cataloging all of her good qualities. She also started to be picky, quit over-giving and went slowly with anyone she dated—all self-honoring dating behavior. “I basically stopped being a doormat and became hard to get,” she laughs. This newfound confidence produced a flurry of interest in available men; she is now dating a few and may settle down with the one she likes the most.
Remind yourself that you are a real catch. Self-esteem is the universal attractant, and if there were ever anyone who deserves to feel special, it’s you!
it’s really hard to be a nurse especially if you don’t love your job.. Like me, after my work I will just go straight home and sleep.. I don’t have much social life but me and my friends (who are also nurses) still accommodate to have time with each other..
Wow… That article helps me feel empowered as a nurse who is a single woman, not giving up hope on finding love!
thank you!
