To not take her for granted . To continue dating them well after she becomes yours . My first relationship ended because I lived my life for her , I thought being the nicest boyfriend was all it took to keep her around . But by doing so , I let myself go and I became boring to her . I tried to be the image that I thought she wanted . I stopped being myself . She lost attraction towards me . Now I understand why people say that you need to love yourself before you can love someone else . Loving yourself allows you to display a genuine personality that gives way to the imperfections that makes you unique . It ' s the little things about you that people fall in love with . It ' s what separates us from everybody else , and makes us unforgettable . Without that , you ' re just the same old boring nice guy , like every other guy out there trying to get into a girls pants . Easy to forget , easy to replace .
