You know the saying, “You need to love yourself before you can love somebody else?” Well, maybe you love yourself just fine. Maybe you’ve done all of your personal work, you’ve gotten over old insecurities, you’ve let go of past relationship luggage, and you even got over your trauma of being called pizza face in middle school. You love yourself, but you are only half of a couple. If you’re going to find a person you can get into a long term relationship with, he is going to need to love himself. And sometimes, it can take a long time to realize a man doesn’t quite love himself yet—in fact, it can take so long that by the time you realize it, you’re already attached, so you just stick it out. But that leaves you in a place of healing wounds you didn’t create, and that’s not fair. So here are signs a man doesn’t love himself that you can look for on a first date.
