Every person has a sense of self worth which may or may not be accurate. This self worth or self esteem allows a person to form beliefs and opinions. High self esteem does not mean pride or inflated ego, but an honest opinion of self. However, low self esteem does hint at closed mindedness, self-hate, self pity and other such negative views.

We date in order to find someone with whom we are compatible. It’s like sampling a series of ice cream flavors, Xbox games, ringtones (…pick something) until you find the one that you like. It’s not personal, it’s preference. The more you leave yourself open to meeting people, the better odds you have of finding someone with whom you truly vibe.
