1. Ask Yourself The Question That Trumps All Other Dating Questions
"Would I date myself?" It's a valid question, right? Take an honest look at who you are, how you act and what issues from your past linger in your present. Do you engage in self-sabotaging activities? Is your inner voice your best friend or worst enemy? Are you comfortable being you? Before you can be ready for a healthy relationship, you actually have to focus on yourself first. Accept or fix your issues. Embrace your baggage. Work on becoming your best self. Once you can look yourself in the eye and think — Yeah, I'd date me!! I'm a pretty fantastic catch. — then (and only then) attempt the rest of these steps.
