No, it does not mean you are in love with yourself. It could, possibly, maybe mean you could handle a relationship.
I have told people these are like a relationship, hitting a dead end is like compromising, you go back and give it another try. Of course if you get really frustrated you can shove this in a drawer and come back to it later, which I would not advise you to do with your significant other.

About Me
1985 A.D.
(After Divorce)
These mazes came about after a trip to Italy. Having been separated
from my first wife for about nine months, and divorced for two months,
I decided it was time to travel and see the world.
I proceeded to Roma, Firenze and then on to Paris. During the course of
my travels I met a lovely young lady from Belgium who was teaching
French in an Italian secondary school. I found that although doomed
because of distance, it is still possible to become enamored after the
trauma of divorce.
After returning from the trip refreshed and ready to get on with my
life, I promptly fell and sprained my ankle so severely that I couldn't
walk for six weeks. After reading about forty books, watching almost
every show on television and putting my thoughts from that period on
paper, I began to draw mazes as a way of expressing my feelings.
Drawing mazes was not new to me, although it had been about fifteen
years since I had last drawn one. But the time was right, and I was
finding that I wasn't able to express my feeling and emotions to my
satisfaction with the writing I was doing, so "Heart to Heart Mazes"
came to be with the object being to find the path between the two
Hearts in each maze. As in most love relationships there are twists,
wrong turns, and frustration. Yet in the end as one Heart finds the
other, there comes satisfaction.
A hint: to help you make it through the mazes I suggest that they be
done with a variety of colored pencils. Each time a dead end is
reached, return to the beginning and restart with a new color and at
the end you will have made your own unique and colorful picture.

Here I sit, again, after divorce number two, pen in hand creating a whole new set of mazes.
