Like to think that although exceptionally rare--especially in the 21st century--real love still exists. And although I used to believe that you weren't someone until someone loved you (for what seems the larger part of my life), have finally learned what's ultimately important is the love and respect for yourself.
Outside of that it's best to take things slow, remain realistic, and hopeful. Nothing great is made in haste.
And put your best self forward. Everything else is typically related to the other person, so let it go.
And remember to laugh hard.
Never stop laughing.
