35+ Memes That Encourage Self-Love and Shoving Dating to the Side

Are you ready to start dating? Let's talk about it. 

The one thing that we all need to check off our lists when asking this question is if we are in a place of self-love we can let someone into our lives and give them the energy they deserve. I know, I know, we should always prioritize ourselves first BUT sometimes we do in fact need to be selfless and care about our partner's needs. The idea of self-love in relationships is crucial because it runs parallel to so many other factors. For instance, if we can't love ourselves our expectations for our partners are much higher than they otherwise would be, and maybe unreasonable.

You need to be in a place where that necessary reassurance comes mostly from your own positive self-image. Otherwise, you can become co-dependent on your partner, which can lead to you ultimately getting badly hurt by this person. See this train of events? And this is only one example! The moral of the story is always to put yourself and your mental health first in a relationship, but it is best to start off in a place of self-love so that you can be there for this other person and have a healthier relationship!
