The stronger sense of self worth and good self esteem will automatically seep into all parts of your life , it will come across to others that your confident and a strong balanced person. Most men are just drawn to confident women, It is one of the " Fake it til you make" kinda things.

As far as the signals and whatnot with relationships.. well it depends where you are in the relationship, if its a new relationship well it takes time to find out what a person is like.

Maybe your investing too much of you into a situation too soon? Just a thought

If its a relationship of some time and your not feeling the connection then I would advise you and him to sit down and discuss it.

Good luck
