Good advice! To add: ensure that that confidence is based on competence. Be a guy that can do things. Then your confidence is real, and not hubris. With regards to the values and traits: base yourself on traditional masculinity. Being strong, able to provide, protect, integrity, strong frame, emotional stability, emotional stoicism, leadership, have some personality and charisma without doing it for her (as you say, don't chase her), be on your mission, know what your boundaries are. Lean back to being a man that you would've expected to see in any time in history before the last 60 years, whether it'd be a knight in medieval France, a peasant in imperial China, a sailor in 18th century US or a leader of the household in a house with the white picket fence in the 50s, they'd all share the same core values, integrity and competencies.
