Falling in love is easy. This is something that you can control. You meet someone who has all that you have been looking for. They are nice, honest, and fun to be around. They are also very attractive. Your love grows the longer that you know them. But do they love you? There are certain things that you can do to increase the chances of becoming loved.

Love Yourself

You can't expect anyone to love you if you can't even love yourself. Before you get into a serious relationship, you may want to work on your self confidence. No matter what society says, you are great the way you are. Feeling bad about yourself is just a waste of energy and time. You'll find that you are much happier once you allow yourself to love who you are.

There are side effects to loving yourself that can improve your chances of someone loving you. For example, when you have more self confidence, you will treat yourself better. These areas will likely improve:

  • Personal hygiene: keeping yourself clean and smelling wonderful
  • Physical appearance: with hair, clothing and/or makeup
  • Nutrition: you'll surely eat better when you respect yourself more
  • Fitness: in line with nutrition, you will care more about your body if you have more confidence.


Be Open to Love

If you want love to come to you, you need to be open to it. You have a much better chance of someone falling in love with you if you are sweet, nice and outgoing. Don't fold your arms or turn away from people you're talking to. Often the most important part of communication is non-verbal. Sit closer to the person that you're with. If you do, they will feel more comfortable about being around you. When you sit far away with a frown on your face, you are showing someone that you aren't ready to love.

Be Honest

When people are asked what they want in a relationship, the majority mentions honesty. For most people, this aspect is at the top of the list. A relationship built on a core of honesty has a much better chance of lasting a long time. When you're honest with your partner, or with a potential mate, you are showing respect to them.

It can often be very hard for people to be honest. In a way, they think that it's easier to lie. If you put the effort into being honest, it shows them that you care and that you are willing to make it work. If you want to be loved, you should strive to keep honesty in your relationship.


Be Yourself

As much as you want to be loved, that person should love you for who you are and not who you pretend to be. Anyone can pretend to be everything that his or her mate desires, and while this can lead to a relationship, it won't be fulfilling. This is an extension of honesty. Don't just tell the truth with your words, tell the truth with who you are. Do you like watching cheesy horror movies? Don't hide it. You should want to be loved by someone who has those same interests. This will help you achieve a deeper and more fulfilling love.

If you love yourself, are open to love, are honest, and are being yourself, there's no reason why someone can't fall in love with you. Follow these rules and you will have a much better chance at the relationship that you dream of.

"You have a much better chance of someone falling in love with you if you are sweet, nice and outgoing." and "Be yourself" can conflict!

well i liked the article a lot, but the problem i have is that at first the guy who likes me does anything i want, i mean he's always around me, gives me compliments and all that stuff, but when i show him i like him a lot, too, when we start a relationship for example, he chills out and becomes icy.. what should i do? i don't change my attitude at all - i just show him i like him... i really don't understand what the problem is.. Please help... Thanks

well , to be honest I would say that this not always works since we are living in a material world.That is , to be loved you have to be rich at first not how nice or honest you are, and so on.

I think you wrote something wrong. You said, "be yourself." and you also said, "You have a much better chance of someone falling in love with you if you are sweet, nice and outgoing."

nah? everyone's different and not all of us are sweet, outgoing, and nice.

but thanks a bunch for this. i'll try my best to do this rules!

Well ,,,, yea I guess to be yourself is the best way , because if someone really loves you he will not love you for who you pretend you are ,but for who you really are ,,,,

so i guess this a very good advice :)

Love is a shit i which I dont believe because of so many love stories gone bad or the wrong direction, or somebody being hurt at the most important part (the heart), that is why I dont believe in that shit. I believe in friendship, in which you can pass the time with the girl and does not mean she is your posession or vice versa, and when you are horny you can have kisses foreplay or sex and there´s compromise only if comes a kid. But you can still be friends. Love sucks.

there is a guy that hates me but ..i fell inlove with him

how to let him love me ?:o

terry  says:

what is love:

love is when u put in your head that this guy u have feelings toward is the exact one for u ..that doesnt meen u love him

love is when u accept others ..but this feeling u feel toward a boy is different but similar ..& also wrong sometimes ,when u start to CONVINCE ur self that this person is the best for you ..then this is love ...dont be sure that this partner is the best for u ..try to know him or her more & then think,,''should i be with him ..do i really love him?&why?

if u love a guy that critisize u or hate u ...or maybe doesnt have the same feeling well dont be afraid ..sad,mad,cry,or maybe HATE him

maybe he has his own reasons.,,if his in ur school or collage &he is popular ..his crowd force him to only love POPULAR GIRLS...or vise versa!!..or maybe he doesnt like u because u made him or her think u are a bad person or unlovable ..try to prove the opposite now..gd luck ,dnt fuck bye :)

Personaly, i don't believe in love.

Might happen one day though =) thing is I always have big crushes.. never end up having them. :'( It hurts a lot, even if I am myself and that includes being sweet and laughing a lot (i'm well known because of that). I never manage to go out with the guys I have feelings for. Annoying huh?

Nice hub

I like this article but he told me he will never marry me. He keeps pictures of his exs hidden,the one who got away. I try to please him in EVERY aspect but he still doesn't love me. I can't be without him, I hope that by following steps in this article it might help bc I'm in a rut. From being the prettiest girl everywhere I went the fact that he says negative things and I don't feel loved led me to be depressed n feel ugly n worthless:-( once more, hope it helps me
