RE: Dating Advice Leading to Lack of Confidence
One of the things I hate the most about Hollywood romantic touches (not just romantic comedies) is that Hollywood sells the idea of a having someone "complete" you. "You complete me" you're "my other half".

That way a lot of people look for someone that will complete them instead of looking for someone that shares with them. Instead of love you're talking about greed, the other person makes you complete and you're not a real person if you haven't found love, if you haven't found that special half that gives your life a purpose.

And incidentally I think that's the cause that most marriages end up in divorce. You're not a complete person that shares himself with another person out of love, you're that person that sucks what you need from the other person, until that situation doesn't satisfy your needs anymore or the other person becomes bored (extreme over generalization here just to make the point, obviously things aren't black or white).

Point being you should be already a complete (self improving also, I don't find those two terms to conflict) person, which offers things to the other person and who enjoys what the other person freely shares.
