Pro-Tip #2: You Are Good Enough

Pro-Tip #2: You Are Good Enough

We need a shift in this dating mentality, especially online.

It’s about compatibility, NOT quality.

I am ‘vetting’ guys based on whether or not I think someone might be a good match for H.

It is NOT a reflection on a man’s overall quality.

When it comes to online dating, always remember: you are good enough–you may just not be the right fit for that person.

Just because your shoe doesn’t fit Cinderella’s foot, it doesn’t mean there isn’t another lovely lady whose feet are exactly your shoes’ size!
