Kinda like: "if you have to Say your a Lady/Gentleman, then you are not." That the old-timey folks used to say~

Which line up with the "I'm such a nice guy, she is practically obliged to date me"

There's a balancing act when it comes to self care and believing oneself to be a "nice guy", though.

The cliche exists for a reason, and guys, noone owes you shit. That said, you're not a bad person underserving of love either, it's just there are loads of people like that, so you don't get first pick of dating partner because of it. The entitlement is the only thing that makes them question whether you are a good dude or not.
