I liked the point that treating your dates mainly as a source of approval is unfair to you AND whoever you're dating. While there's no malice behind this impulse, your date (presumably) believes you appreciate them as a person, and it seems vaguely deceptive to express romantic interest when you're even more interested in proving your own value as a partner. Once you actually do receive the approval you wanted, you could even lose interest in your partner because you've been reassured of your romantic value (for now). Your partner could then wonder why you're no longer so eager to impress them and try to deduce what they did wrong.
