Can somebody truly like you if you focus on yourself (career, hobbies, etc), as opposed to being desperate?

It's said that if you enjoy the things that you do, that brings your self esteem up, it makes other people happy, and somebody of the opposite gender would be interested in you.

If you're desperate and basically "hunt" for someone, it chases them away.
