After Nick realized that he loves Jordan he starts to second guess himself. He knows that love is a strong word and he didn't want to get ahead of himself before he actually meant it. So, he tries to convince himself otherwise. When he thinks about her though, this does not work. He says "Every one suspects himself of at least one of the cardinal virtues, and this is mine: I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known." He can not trick himself because no matter if he is ready to be in love or not, he knows he is.
