One of my female friends said that before I can love someone else, I have to love myself first. How do I?

Question

do that?

Answer 1

ask your close friends what they like about you the most and what would a gal like most about you

then think about it and just take notice of the best things about you

Answer 2

If you don't know how to love yourself, I feel kind of bad. Your friend is completely right. How can you care about somebody else, before you even get a chance to know, love and respect yourself? Nobody wants to build a relationship and their boyfriend's self-esteem at the same time. That should be something you should to on your own. In the words of Kat Williams, "It's called 'self-esteem'! It's the ESTEEM of YOURSELF! I ain't got nothing to do with that!"

Answer 3

u hav 2 sweet talk her.. she probably isnt interested but u can still try.. especially if she says that

Answer 4

I haven't learn how to love myself yet. It's so hard!! It just mean to like yourself and that you have to accept yourself, your flaws, and learn how to forgive yourself, maby from shame, dissapointment, anger, resentment, or heartbreaks. And learn how to be good to your body and care about yourself. Sometimes those things keep you from meeting someone or doing something important. I feel bad about myself all the time and never wants to go out because I guess there are some things that I don't like about myself, and therefore I will never be able to find anyone because I won't go out. I'm affraid that I'm not good enough. When you eliminate that and forgive yourself and accept yourself, you'll have more self confidence and then you can go out and meet someone. That's just me though.

When you forgive, accept yourself and love yourself, you'll be able to do the same to others too. And it'll gave you more confident. I haven't learn how to forgive myself yet, but I know what it means. There's just too much, I have to be rebuild from the anside out and rebuilt a new spirit and a new soull to do that. Or..........if I find true love!!!!!!!!! then, everything is possible.

Hope this help friend!! ;)

Answer 5

Thats total bullshit, if that were true, you wouldnt have a bunch of those little teeny-boppers running all over yahoo's Singles & Dating spamming "I'M IN LOVE WITH THEM, but we've only been going out for a month" and no teenagers love who they are, you hate yourself at that age. What you need to do instead of listening to your female friend, is to think about all the things that you like and dislike about yourself, then decide what you would never want to do in a relationship, then date someone who doesnt do the things you dont like doing also. Your not about to go date a girl who is madly in love with sports, if you loathe even the thought of spending 5 minutes watching a baseball game on TV. So instead of trying to fall in love with yourself, figure out what it is that you love, and what it is that you dont love. Then spend the rest of your time looking for women who you can match up with. Now dont get me wrong, it is ok to find a girl who likes doing things you dont like doing, just dont date someone who wants you to do stuff that you dont like doing, ya know? Thats the key to happyness, being able to enjoy the time you 2 spend together. Because if you hate what she likes, and she hates what you like, then how are you 2 going to be able to love being with each other? Good luck with this mate, its rough finding the right kind of women, and its even more rough keeping them. Just be yourself, and always remember to stick with a few rules, always be brutally honest (even if she hates what you have to say), stick up for yourself no matter what (this way she knows your not a push over, and doesnt get turned off by you) and dont let anyone take advantage of you, we live in a time were being a nice guy merits nothing.  

Answer 6

it's easy dude! just love yourself, because you are awesome! it's all about you!  

Answer 7

You must have confidence, show pride in the way you dress, have good character and speak positively about your accomplishments.  That is loving yourself.

Answer 8

Figure out what you enjoy doing, and do it. Find ways that make it so when you look at yourself in the mirror, you're satisfied with what you see. Whenever you feel yourself thinking negatively about yourself, recognize that and make a conscious effort to reverse that opinion. These are only a few ways of starting to "love yourself."

Answer 9

figure out what you like in girls or food or resturanns

but this takes time

and it may take you for ever to figure out who you are but that dosent mean you cant fall in love

Answer 10

That's nuts.  How about if you become a positive, productive, confident, compassionate man instead.  Someone a woman would be proud to be with... I think that might work out a little better.
