Matthew Hussey argues that the biggest mistake in dating is feeling entitled to love without self-improvement, as building relationship competence requires effort comparable to professional development. Recalling a painful breakup where he was deemed boring despite early admiration for his ambition, Hussey realized individual strengths that attract partners fail to sustain intimacy without complementary qualities providing depth.
