And....when I think of lower expectation, it's not about forcing yourself to need less from a man, it's about where I expect things to go...

It's kinda take it or leave it, but without being a cold, ruthless...uh..bleep..

If he's busy, you're busy. You remain busy. Let him do the wondering. Not that we don't wonder, but let him start to wonder because you're a catch!

Less talk about relationship rules/expectations the better. Find other topics if you have to.

Just keep looking yourself in the mirror and tell yourself that you are a catch!! It will sink in!! Then you'll start seeing why you are special and everything else that makes you you!
