Would you date yourself?

[papayahed]

somebody asked this question on another board. Well, would you?

[Basil]

I think I AM dating myself!

[Helga]

I don't think so. Well if I was looking for a serious relationship and could handle a moody, obsessive girl that has no life and few longings for one then yes.

But no.

[Snukes]

Definitely not. I'd drive myself crazy. Besides which, nothing would EVER get decided.

Me1: What should we have for dinner tonight?
Me2: I don't know. What sounds good?
Me1: I'm not sure. Nothing comes to mind.
Me2: Well, not spaghetti. That's all we ever eat.
Me1: And not omelettes. That's also all we ever eat.
Me2: Hmmm... We could have something else.
Me1: Yes, but what?
Me2: Isn't it your turn to decide?
Me1: I decided last time! You have to decide.
Me2: Damn. Umm... I don't know. Let's just go out.
Me1: Okay. Where should we go?
Me2: I dunno. Where do you want to go?

(Repeat ad infinium.)

I admit it. I'm a sheep. Baaaah.

[Molko]

No, I dont think I would. Im just too weird and too much of a doormat, lol

[kilted exile]

nope, I am far too opinionated & would spend the majority of the time arguing with myself.

[mono]

Perhaps, but probably not. I feel somewhat a confident with some of my traits, but some, such as being very moody, indecisive, often passive, independent, and spontaneous, would end the relationship quickly.
Maybe I could have a one-night stand with myself . . .
. . .
Sound good?
. . .
Sure, just give me a ride in the morning. :p

[ajoe]

Definitely not. I'd drive myself crazy. Besides which, nothing would EVER get decided.

(Repeat ad infinium.)

I admit it. I'm a sheep. Baaaah.

Wow, that sounds like me on a date with myself, too. '_'

I think I believe more in "opposites attract." Me and myself are too alike for their own good.

[Jay]

No way, lol, I'd drive myself crazy... wait, I'm already there... I'd drive myself... totally crazy :p

[baddad]

date myself huh? Hmmmm........I wonder if I'll pay for dinner.................or let one of he other voices in my head pick up the tap....kind of a 'group' (not grope) date.......

[Koa]

I think we'd have some good talks...well, we already do... But when we'd argue, damn, that would be really really bad... But we'd always have the same tastes eheheheh :D

[Keltic Banshee]

Well... I tend to "sit down for a coffee" with myself when I need some serious self-analysis of my thoughts and feeling and life in general to keep me going... but I don't think I could date myself... I would spend way too much time arguing with myself about everything to get anything done! hehe... But well... I guess I can't be sure... I've surprised myself quite a few times regarding dating...

Wish you all the best,
Keltic Banshee

[Snukes]

All you people say you would do nothing but argue with yourselves... I don't understand! I suppose I'd be far more likely to agree with myself all the time.

I wouldn't *like* myself very much, but I figure that based on the fact that the few people in this world that I haven't liked much have been people who were like me in too many ways. But even then, I found myself generally agreeing with their thoughts, even if not liking them made me feel like being disagreeable just to be difficult.

Is that why you'd argue with yourselves? Just to be difficult?

[papayahed]

I think I would have a good time with myself on a casual date, hanging out, I'm fun! But I don't think I could be in a long term relationship with myself - I'm too moody and sometimes I can be cranky. I know it's hard to believe...

[subterranean]

I think I AM dating myself!


LOL :lol:


I would end up killing me if I date me...

[baddad]

Sure, what the hell, how bad could it be? I'm already aware of all my date's BAD habits...........

[faith]

It depends on who I would be if I weren't myself. If I were a really really nice person or something, then I might date myself, but I don't really think so.

[subterranean]

Sure, what the hell, how bad could it be? I'm already aware of all my date's BAD habits...........


Well..you could be worse ;)

[SleepyWitch]

definitely not. i hate the concept of dating itself.... just fancy there was two of us on a date... if we ever got that far, we'd go on a rant about dating.. the good point is we'd agree, but the downside is the atmosphere would be very aggressive...
hehe, i don't think anyone who knows me really well would want to go on a 'date' with me, either

[Scheherazade]

I am surprised at the number of negative answers to this question... If even we don't consider ourselves "dateable", then who will?

Was the response similar on the other Forum as well, Papaya? Lots of "no"s?


I think I would date myself. I wouldn't consider myself 'dumb' or shallow. I am usually patient, supportive and fun to be around. Naturally, we would have an interest in similar things as well and, like Baddad said, I know my own bad habits...

Oh, and I am a pretty good cook. So why not?

[Monica]

No. Nay. Never. I'd start talking about Umberto Eco with myself (while listening to U2). Ad nauseam.

[Keltic Banshee]

I am surprised at the number of negative answers to this question... If even we don't consider ourselves "dateable", then who will?

Well... personally I think that's a problem quite a lot of people have... starting with me... Jjust to avoid misunderstanding i will explain this using myself as an example, though i know plenty of people who would fit in the description... The fact that I wouldn't date myself is somehow related to not being able to "live my life on my own", somehow i don't consider myself a good companion for life... so i try to find what i can't provide for myself in someone else... that's why some of us spend our life trying to find someone who makes us happy, instead of taking care of making ourselves happy... At least that's what i've been doing in the last years, needless to say, to no avail :-/

And well... just as an aditional note, knowing where the problem lies is a very different thing from being able of solving it... but I consider having finally come to this conclusion to be something quite positive indeed.

Wish you all the best

[Snukes]

While I believe it is true that opposites attract, I don't necessarily think that's healthy for a relationship. On a similar note, I don't think it's healthy for two people in a relationship to be too much the same. Then what do you contribute? Part of the value in a good relationship (any kind!) is that both people bring something different INTO it, and therefore you each get something new OUT of it.

I'd say relationships work best with complimentary halves - one person's strengths filling the gap of another person's weaknesses, while enough common ground and mutual support exists that the differences don't make you nuts.

Now, if you'd asked a slightly different question...

I'm a good catch!! Any man is damned lucky to have me! I'm smart, fun, cute, squishy, I smell good, I cook (reasonably) well, and my interests cover a broad range. :D That being the case, there's no chance I'd sell myself short - I want someone who is *better* than me!

And therefore, dating myself would be selling myself short. :p

[Scheherazade]

I think 'would you date yourself question?' question is really asking 'do you consider yourself a good catch? someone worth dating?'


somehow i don't consider myself a good companion for life...
That is exactly my point. Why so many of us think so 'little' of ourselves? Why not concentrate more on the positive qualities we have? We all have our shortcomings... We either learn to live with them or try to improve them. Yet, we should not fixate on those only; I believe most members on here, as far as I know them, are very nice, friendly people.

Are we being too hard on ourselves? Does that mean that we are also being hard on people around us?

I was wondering... If we are not able to make ourselves happy, is it fair and reasonable to expect someone else to walk into our lives and fix everything for us? Are we able to offer that to someone else? Wave a magic wand and make their lives complete? If that is what we are expecting from the people we date, it is only natural that we should be able to offer the same in return.

I like snuke's idea of complimentary halves however I am not sure about someone 'better'... That someone better wouldn't like someone better than themselves as well?

[Snukes]

I like snuke's idea of complimentary halves however I am not sure about someone 'better'... That someone better wouldn't like someone better than themselves as well?
And therein lies the true beauty of complimentary halves: each of you finds in the other something that is better than yourself.

For example: I claimed to be a good cook, but I can't clean a house to save my life. Dirty socks everywhere. It's a diagnosable disease, I swear! But it just so happens that the love of my life is one of the very few men I've ever met who is a fantastic housekeeper. He's done his own laundry once a week every week since he was a teenager. There are never dirty dishes on the sink before he goes to bed. It's amazing. I am truly awed by the fact that he cleans his bathroom.

I, on the other hand, am much better at balancing a checkbook than he is. God knows why, but for having flunked out of logic class and passing "practical life skills" by the skin of my teeth, I'm wonderful with money. He's not. So it goes. He cleans, I watch the finances.

But those are just the obvious things. It's the less obvious things that are maybe even more important. It's being able to respect each other because of your differences and similarities.

I respect my own good qualities, but I need someone who makes me stretch beyond myself. So maybe saying "better" was just my ego talking, back there. But I definitely need someone different.

[Scheherazade]

So, maybe someone better at those things we lack? Hence, someone to 'compliment' us... That would constitute a good basis for a healthy relationship. It all sounds very good but not so long a friend quoted William Faulkner (although the kind of love he was refering to was different from the one we are discussing here):

"You don't love because: you love despite; not for the virtues, but despite the faults."

Which made me think. I think that is the kind of love worth having... and I am a romantic who is digressing... :D

[Snukes]

I hope he still loves me when we're old and grey and I'm still leaving socks lying all over the house...

[Scheherazade]

Hey, if you keep leaving those socks around, how can he stop loving you???? :D

Wish you all the best, snukes! :)

[subterranean]

That is exactly my point. Why so many of us think so 'little' of ourselves? Why not concentrate more on the positive qualities we have? We all have our shortcomings... We either learn to live with them or try to improve them. Yet, we should not fixate on those only; I believe most members on here, as far as I know them, are very nice, friendly people.

So Helga, Molko, Cartman, Mono, Sleepywith, Jay, and my self of course...are we think "too little" about ourselves? Are we worth the catch?

Just cause I say that I don't want to date myself, it doesn't mean that I consider myself as "little". I got my positive and negative sides, sure. The key to find or date someone who has different personalities is to complete my negative sides and on the other hand complete the other person's negative sides with my positive ones. For instance, if I'm a cranky pants, I'd might not want to date someone who also got upset easly..thus, I'd choose someone who is patient or think everything over before exploding himself with anger.

Am I worth the catch? Of course, but I know what kind of person I am, what are my weaknesses and what I'm good at. What would be the balance in my relationship, if I date someone who got some weaknesses?..maybe we both then need third party's help. And dating different people it doesn't mean we would completely choose someone who is totally different. We see something in other people that we need or want and same thing goes with the other person who is interested in us.

[mono]

So Helga, Molko, Cartman, Mono, Sleepywith, Jay, and my self of course...are we think "too little" about ourselves? Are we worth the catch?
"Are we worth the catch?" :lol:
I certainly enjoy my leisuring time alone now-and-then, depending on my mood, but having an entire twin to every cognitive thought, behaviorism, and personality trait, I think we would grow tired of each other quickly. I can surely tolerate myself as I exist already, but I think I could only handle two of me for a lesser period of time. We would have very interesting conversations, but would not learn much from each other.
Perhaps I and I can just remain friends. :p

[Basil]

For me, dating inevitably leads to stalking. And I don't want to stalk myself. It'd be too easy.

[Snukes]

*dies laughing at Basil*

So we all know Basil is in it for the challange rather than the fulfillment...

And I agree with mono. I think I'll just tell myself "let's just be friends" and find someone else to date. (It's not a brush-off, Self, I promise! Because really... it's not you., it's me...)

[Scheherazade]

As I said somewhere above, I take this question a little differently maybe... From an objective point of view, knowing your posivite qualities and weaknesses, would you consider yourself good dating material?

[kilted exile]

As I said somewhere above, I take this question a little differently maybe... From an objective point of view, knowing your posivite qualities and weaknesses, would you consider yourself good dating material?

Good points:
dependable
funny at times

bad points:
often distant
unwilling to show emotions/affection
opinionated
tendency to drink too much & make a fool of myself
quiet
ugly

Overall, probably not good dating material.

[subterranean]

bad points:
tendency to drink too much & make a fool of myself





Dating you would feel like I'm dating myself ;)


Call me a narcist, but I totally consider my self as good dating material :nod:

[Jay]

Call me a narcist, but I totally consider my self as good dating material :nod:
I like to think I am a good dating material, lol, who doesn't? Or at least I hope I am... though... yeah, despite all the reasons why I wouldn't want to date myself I think I'm date-able (nice word :D), just the date-worthy (another nice word :p) people don't see me that way :)
I wouldn't date myself because I know myself way too much (d'oh :rolleyes: ) but I think I'd make a good dating material for others. I so don't make any sense at all :goof:
What I'm trying to say, despite all the bad habits I sport (no idea why I used that verb, don't ask :confused: ) I think I'm not that bad to be considered bad dating material, just people who 'matter' don't see me like that.
Me explaining what I meant made it even more chaotic, right? :p

[Scheherazade]

Me explaining what I meant made it even more chaotic, right? :p
And managing to squeeze in 7 smilies in 8 sentences! :D

[Jay]

And? So? But? Therefore??? :lol:

I usually have to delete a few of the smilies when I get carried away, it wouldn't post it otherwise! *tuts* all the censorship :rolleyes: :goof:

[Scheherazade]

:eek:
Hey, cencorship happens if someone goes ahead and deletes the smilies... I am merely stating a fact! :D

Right? :confused:

Don't you think so? :p

[Jay]

No, I don't! I'm not even able to express myself freely! And clearly! Smilies are easy to translate! *grins*

[baddad]

*wondering what Jay means by people who 'matter'?*

Me, date-able??

Good points. Positve outlook, happy morning person (more important than you may think), self suffecient, reliable, honest, dependable, loyal, adventurous, a solid taurus who really enjoys the out-of-doors, funny, handsome (so I'm told), Favorite activity on a date: a 3 hour dinner, several fine wines, no rush, easy talk, beautiful surroundings. Although I've taken first dates white-water rafting, skydiving, Horse-back riding, sailing (self caught fresh crab for dinner, along with the wines)......wait a minute!!!!...I ended up marrying that girl!!!! *no more sailing on dates*

BAD points:all of the above + because of my diverse experiences and knowledge I often forget that others like to lead simple lives and have no idea what the hell I'm talking about. This can be a boon or a detriment....depends on the woman.....

WOULD I DATE ME??? Maybe .....at least once.....never turn down a free meal....

[Jay]

By people that 'matter' I meant people I'd like to date, I put the word in 's because people that matter to me and people I'd like to date are not the same group of people, I mean, for example, my family matters to me (well, some memberes anyway, lol) but I wouldn't date them or even considered dating them.

[amuse]

i'm friendly, have nice hair, apply makeup well over my booboos, and am a generally good person to know. i like to dance and i kiss and laugh well. would never date me.
what's the point if i'm never falling in love again? :rolleyes:

[Snukes]

Jay: you should definitely hold out for someone who "matters" who isn't your family! Dating the first slug who comes along and shows some interest is always a mistake. :p

baddad: No more sailing on dates?? Does that mean you are sorry you married her, or that you are happy to have her so that you don't need to lure anyone else into your romantic web? ;)

amuse: Having nice hair will take you far, but having BIG hair will take you farther!! :D And I don't believe your last statement. Whether you like it or not!

[Molko]

Hmmmm sub, I dont know If I'm "well worth the catch". The problem with me is that Im so fickle and really closed. I dont think I could date someone like that! *laughs* Im quite a difficult person really, contrary to what my friends and other people percieve me to be

[Keltic Banshee]

As I said somewhere above, I take this question a little differently maybe... From an objective point of view, knowing your posivite qualities and weaknesses, would you consider yourself good dating material?

Well... thinking of it that way...

Good points: good listener, always there when needed, able of keeping looooooong interesting conversation about plenty of subjects, sensible but also sensitive... easy-going, interesting (or so i'm told)... good cook (at least nobody complained yet), good organizer...

Bad points: i can be "a little bit" single-topiced when talking, unless someone changes the topic... i'm more an indoor vampire than an outside person... I'm an IT geek who needs "some" hours a day in front of a pc to avoid "withdrawal symptoms"... quite complicated some times... prone to blue moods...

Well... dunno... if i were to date myself, i would have to be ready to deal with some "dark moods"... but I think I could be someone interesting... who knows :-)

See you,
Keltic Banshee

[Snukes]

Well, what is "good dating material" anyway? Some of the very strangest, anti-socialist, quirkiest, ugliest, and smelliest people I know have managed to have (or are still having!) fulfilling relationships. :p I would never have considered them Good Dating Material.

I think there are probably a small group of people in the world who are Good Dating Material(tm). They are the people who are SO easy-going, so easy to get along with, and have such a huge capacity for love that they can really make anyone feel wonderful about themselves, and can really see every person for their best qualities.

I've known two people like that in my life. One, two.

The rest of us are Mixed Bags(tm). We are a little bit quirky, a little bit moody, a little bit messy, a little bit psychotic - anything you'd like! We can't (and shouldn't!) date just anyone, because chances are good we can't tollerate everyone (and everyone can't tollerate us. ;))

In many respects, we are better off than the people who are GDM, because we can afford to be more choosy. Since we can't get along perfectly with everyone, we learn to be somewhat discerning. The two GDMs I've known in my life had no ability to turn anyone away, and as a result, maybe didn't/won't end up with a person who is truly an ideal match.

But heck - how many of us will? I am not of the Destined Lovers school of thought, so I don't believe you can really end up with a WRONG person, but some people are certainly better for you than others. :)

[/soapbox]

[Scheherazade]

You know... I was wondering what 'dating' is anyway... or 'material' for that matter...


:D

[subterranean]

I like to think I am a good dating material, lol, who doesn't? Or at least I hope I am... though... yeah, despite all the reasons why I wouldn't want to date myself I think I'm date-able (nice word :D), just the date-worthy (another nice word :p) people don't see me that way :)

That's plenty of smileys you got there

[Jay]

And you still haven't seen some of my posts I had to edit because it didn't want want to even post the message. As I'm not sure from your statement if you mind or not, let me just say:
If someone's got problems with smilies, there's this nice option in User Contro Panel where you can disable seeing smilies in posts.

So there are times when I'm kind of cheery when posting and it shows in the usage... and I guess the number of used smilies. Aside of the dancing nana issue I haven't heard anyone say something the smilies bother them (well, if you don't count simon but latelly I can't remember her complaining about smilies :p, *waves* :wave: Hello simon :D)

[Bongitybongbong]

Yeah I'm not afraid to admit it. I would date myself...come on I'm the :cool:est person alive.

[GruesomeBugman]

I don't know... I think I wouldn't mind dating me if I got to know me, but I'm very antisocial and very few know me well so... I don't think I'd bother trying to get to know me.

but if I got past that, I think I'd be able to date me for about a week, but I'd have to Kill me after that, I imagine I must get very old, very fast.

I don't know how my girlfriend enjoys me, but there you have it =)

[rachel]

kilted-what a lie. i have seen your picture. you are cute and adorable. you must be looking at yourself when drunk. noone sees correctly then.
I don't date but I would be friends with myself. good points-care deeply about the individual and am very accepting of others. I have a good sense of humour and although i live a disciplined sort of life i love the unexpected
bad points- because i write i am often alone in my thoughts and distant like James Barrie in the movie finding neverland. I also spend long amounts of time in prayer and caring for those on the street and those who are broken so I would be really boring to more free fun loving guys. but I have friends from every walk of life it seems and I get along with all of them well. strangely they on the other hand usually don't get on with one another.

bongity-that is what is so special about you. and really who wouldn't think you are the best....er....everything. you are so unique. and didn't you just turn twelve or something. A lot of confidence for one so young. :D :lol: :D

[Virgil]

If I dated myself, I would have to look at myself, and that's hard to do. If I had an argument with myself, who would get mad? Oh, theses philosophical conumdrums.

[Pensive]

Yup.........

[starrwriter]

If I were an attractive woman, I would not only date myself, I would have a very good time. What woman can resist handsome, witty, charming and sexy?

[Jay]

*raises hand* :p ;)

[Weeping Willow]

well i don't know about myself..
I have like all my ups and downs.. but till now statistics say i'm not a good dating material... :(...
altough alot of people say i'm cute... what's up with that..
How does cute help me??? :confused:

[smilingtearz]

UHUH!

naah...this is making me think too much :goof: ... I rather not think of dating myself!

[rachel]

Omer,
shalom. when the time comes your beautiful girl will come along. You have a lot to do until then, at least catch up on your sleep and come and visit us after Spain!!
Starr, I hope the two of you, you and you will be gloriously happy.
Virgil,
you funny boy, obviously your gorgeous wife thought you were beautiful enough to look at everyday.
Eva, you just concentrate on music and studies. you are just a baby.

[papayahed]

Ha! another one, I find it funny that I started this thread. Now I'm trying to remember what prompted it.

and for the record I still agree with my original post.

[starrwriter]

Ha! another one, I find it funny that I started this thread. Now I'm trying to remember what prompted it.
Who started a thread is unimportant. What matters is who hijacks it.
--THE HIJACK KING

[Jay]

Wait till Stan sees this :p

[smilingtearz]

Eva, you just concentrate on music and studies. you are just a baby.

uhuh!!...u sound like grandma

[papayahed]

--THE HIJACK KING

huh? I don't see Stan around.

[rachel]

I raised my brother little Eva since I was five and a half and he was two and a half and I just naturally assumed the protective don't do that until you are supposed to posture. I have been like that always thru necessity. I remember once telling my little brother Nelson he had to eat his soup, it was very necessary. I didn't want to get a spanking for not getting to eat it and he was adamant that he hated soup.
Well you are only to eat the left side of the bowl and not the right side" I admonished. He laughed and started eating.When it was finished he scowled at me and shouted "you said I only had to eat the left side.' He was a little thick as a plank when he was little.
I used to save up my paycheques when I was sixteen and distribute most of the money to my step siblings for an allowance because our parents never bothered with that sort of th ing. I felt it was important for them to learn how to save and use money. Sorry if I came across that way, but I see greatness in you and you have a kazillion years to worry about that stuff. Look at Starr, she is none the happier for having fooled around probably since he was ten!

[smilingtearz]

oh sweet rachel...
I just loved it when u said


Eva, you just concentrate on music and studies. you are just a baby.

I always have felt bad of not having an older sister... you actually sounded like you cared.

and I'm not bothered about dating myself anyways!...:D ;)...and alright i won't care about "dating", I'll take your advice and give more time to my studies!

I was kidding about the grandma thing, i suddenly wish there were more emoticons on litnet....they help you to express so much better!

[Wirhe]

Well, duh; no. I would know I wouldn't want to keep it longer than one night, so I would keep it only as something "occasional." :D

[rachel]

Wirhe, what do you mean duh well no. You sound like a well of intrigue, surely you could find a waterfall of great things to learn about yourself in successive dates.
Smiling, you are too adorable.I guess I have always been a little mother even when I still sucked my thumb in kindergarten, grade one and two( I was admitted into grade one when I was four. huge mistake.)I still had to look after my brother(not in the flesh but in the heart anyway) and i just assumed the protective mommy role.
by the way are those your particular eyes on your page across from your avy? wow.

[ShoutGrace]

I could never respect anyone who would stoop so low as to date me. And I would like to retain my respect of myself (or at least my ill-founded semblance of respect :D).

[ktd222]

I could never respect anyone who would stoop so low as to date me. And I would like to retain my respect of myself (or at least my ill-founded semblance of respect :D).

:lol: such irony

Only if I were asexual. Ah, only if...

[ShoutGrace]

Do asexuals date? Er, themselves?

[Rampant]

Absolutely, I love myself enough as it is though. Besides two me-s would make the universe collapse.

[Idril]

Oh, good heavens, No! I would not date myself. I can be a prickly, moody little thing, I have an incredibly hard time mantaining anything even remotely resembling emotional intimacy and I like my solitude and independence way too much. I would never have the patience for someone like me. :p

[Virgil]

Well with all sorts of new laws about marriage being proposed, maybe I can marry myself. :D I love myself. :p :p

[kathycf]

I could never respect anyone who would stoop so low as to date me. And I would like to retain my respect of myself (or at least my ill-founded semblance of respect :D).

Pshaw! You're nice and I won't hear any different. As for me, well. That is a totally different matter. :lol:

[Yelena]

No way, I doubt I have enough patience for someone like me!

[ktd222]

Well with all sorts of new laws about marriage being proposed, maybe I can marry myself. :D I love myself. :p :p

You know yourself so well...no surprises on the first date for sure:D

[SleepyWitch]

date myself? that would be two people who talk non-stop and never listen... hm.. not so sure.. I think we'd steal the show from each other.

[dramasnot6]

I would date myself but i dont think it would be a particulary healthy relationship, maybe a bit of love-hate. No awkward silences and less money spent on dinner-for-"two" though.

[Schokokeks]

I could never respect anyone who would stoop so low as to date me.
Tss, who's after your respect anyway ? It's only your money they want ! :p

Nah, I wouldn't date myself, that would be very boring, since I know comparably much about me already. But I'd date Kathy, Idril, Uncle Pen, Aimus, Drama, ShoutGrace, toni, and the whole lot of you ! ;)
Maybe we could do a multi-date ? :D

[Madhuri]

I am very boring. If I date myself, I will definitely sleep the whole time. Who wants to do that on a date....:D

[dramasnot6]

Tss, who's after your respect anyway ? It's only your money they want ! :p

Nah, I wouldn't date myself, that would be very boring, since I know comparably much about me already. But I'd date Kathy, Idril, Uncle Pen, Aimus, Drama, ShoutGrace, toni, and the whole lot of you ! ;)
Maybe we could do a multi-date ? :D

Sounds like a plan! :D We'll have to meet up at the best Literary place in the world though...hmmmm

[SleepyWitch]

I am very boring. If I date myself, I will definitely sleep the whole time. Who wants to do that on a date....:D

well, sleep can be very refreshing :)

actually, I've never had a 'date'... I mean, all my boyfriend's have been guys I knew as friends before... does 'date' mean you go out with somebody you've just chatted up and get to know them better? Isn't it awkward? How does it work?

[Madhuri]

I think in this case you have to date 'yourself' Would you like to do it?

[SleepyWitch]

hehe, Maddie I answered that question above before I veered off topic

[Madhuri]

hehe, Maddie I answered that question above before I veered off topic

:blush: Ya I read it but somehow it slipped out of my mind...:blush: My mind is not working today it seems.

[SleepyWitch]

happens to me all the time :) see, that is why I don't wanna date myself :)

[AimusSage]

Tss, who's after your respect anyway ? It's only your money they want ! :p

Maybe we could do a multi-date ? :D
I might even let you out of the jar for a multi-date. :p

But I think I'd better not join myself on a date, I would run myself up the wall with silly comments on just about everything. :goof:

[Shannanigan]

well, I THINK I would date me...I'm already an Aries dating an Aries, why not take it a step further and make it a female Aries dating a female Aries? :brow:

I dunno, I'm so relaxed and passive-agressive that if I dated myself we'd probably just wind up exactly the way my boyfriend and I are now: we do our thing all day, come home and talk about our days, find some food, watch some TV, debate some values...and if someone ticks the other off we just sit there quietly for a moment before moving on to another topic...:p

Actually, I'd love to date me because then I could finally have a partner who would love to go dancing every night with me and who is easy to cook for!

[papayahed]

HAHAHA, What was I thinking when I started this thread????? I'm quite entertaining.



and that's why I would date myself....

[Idril]

But I'd date Kathy, Idril, Uncle Pen, Aimus, Drama, ShoutGrace, toni, and the whole lot of you ! ;)
Maybe we could do a multi-date ? :D

We could do speed dating. ;) :lol:

[blackbird_9]

Date myself? Yes, but only if I were richer. Have a serious relationship with myself? No. I'm the kind of spontanious that most people can only take in small doses. I don't think I would be able to keep up with myself. It's a wonder how my boyfriend does it.

[grace86]

I could date myself I think. Although I have been told I am very self sacrificial, silly, and...cute.

Hmm...if only I weren't getting married I could start dating myself right away :lol:

[JackShea]

I would definitely date myself. I'm fun. But sex on the first date would be out of the question!

[ktd222]

I would definitely date myself. I'm fun. But sex on the first date would be out of the question!

you know yourself too well. I'm sure you find someway to talk yourself into it.:D

[JackShea]

"you know yourself too well. I'm sure you find someway to talk yourself into it."

I resemble that comment. I am no slut...though I can't speak for my date?

[ktd222]

"you know yourself too well. I'm sure you find someway to talk yourself into it."

I resemble that comment. I am no slut...though I can't speak for my date?

:lol: I'm ending this here before you talk me into something.

[mtpspur]

No and prior to marriage I have the referrals to prove it would be a bad idea.

[kathycf]

Tss, who's after your respect anyway ? It's only your money they want ! :p

Nah, I wouldn't date myself, that would be very boring, since I know comparably much about me already. But I'd date Kathy, Idril, Uncle Pen, Aimus, Drama, ShoutGrace, toni, and the whole lot of you ! ;)
Maybe we could do a multi-date ? :D
I would rather date Cookie than myself....I almost never bake. :D

[jgx]

No, I dont think I would. Im just too weird and too much of a doormat, lol

I admit to not knowing you...but...well....at the very least you are a "weird" "doormat" and that's something....:)

wow...I wrote a typo..."door-mate"...hmmm


Wow, that sounds like me on a date with myself, too. '_'

I think I believe more in "opposites attract." Me and myself are too alike for their own good.

well...if "me" and 'myself" are too much alike...

ya...know

me
myself
and "I" meaning you..but you as 'I' :)

The deal for me is when I date others...it's stub the toe time cause...when the rain doth fall and it's it's over time then it's like

"damn...been dating myself and not her this whole time"

she leaves the cafe
I sit there
talk to myself...I have an old broken cell phone I use...looks like I am having a conversation...pretty tricky huh.

ponder this: If you are talking to somebody...say James Davidson...five foot 8 37 yrs old red hair, beard, poet...so you are talking to him but after 15 minutes you realize the sob aint been listening to you at all.

Does that mean that you have actually been talking to yourself? And if that is the case then wow...we talk to ourselves an awful lot don't we?

[Schokokeks]

I might even let you out of the jar for a multi-date. :p
Far too kind you are. :D


Maybe we could do speed dating.
I see you're with the trend, Idril. :p


I would rather date Cookie than myself....I almost never bake.:D
I'd feel honoured to :nod:. And would love to make cookies for you ! In case we're having the multi speed dating afterwards, I'd of course make a lot of sorts of cookies to suit everyone's taste ;).

[ktd222]

Would I date myself?

Yes, I don't think I could do better.

[Matsiah]

Mirror makers of love,
Entrust their 'love' within all of the above...

...my answer: no.

[Serenata]

I don't think so. I'm really not my type.

[jgx]

Upon further thought...yes I would date myself but the question is dating and not long term committments right?

I could be fun for a run through the fields of sheets, mornings and...oh Joni Mitchell music.

I can be charming. I have a keen intellect.

But underneath the charm there lurks another side and I would want to get to know this part of me(or her...this does get confusing)before...oh...I could see a few months of fun but then...well I am not making any promises.

I would not marry myself. That much I know. I hate divorce and marrying me would not last long. Just too intense.

For confirmation of above email any of my ex's...exlovrs.org (lol)

hmmm...I wonder if I got some web 2.0 idea there?

[kathycf]

I would perhaps consider a brief fling, but would be unable to make a commitment to such a squawking popinjay. ;)

[DKelly]

I would definitely date myself. I'm fun. But sex on the first date would be out of the question!

:lol:

I AM dating myself. * sigh* I'm nice, sweet,smart, creative, easy to live with, and funny. I think meeting someone who is a lot like me would be awesome! :idea:

[Nick Rubashov]

ha ha probably not. I tend to get really lazy with relationships unless I really really like the person, of course those that I really like never want anything to do with me lol. Most times I just don't care enough.

[Turk]

No. I am not homosexual.

[Shadowsarin]

It depends what you mean by date myself?

Two seperate personalities in one body - NO!!!

One personality shared via telepathic link over two bodies - Maybe, though that would end up a bit confusing.

Two seperate personalities in two bodies - I think I might, though thats only because no-one else has shown any interest in me at all in over two years now... *Cries*

[dramasnot6]

Aww cheer up shadow! :)

[Idril]

... no-one else has shown any interest in me at all in over two years now... *Cries*

Not even with your adorable pig-tails? Those are darn near irresistable. ;) :nod:

[dumwitliteratur]

I think that me dating myself would be really bad. It's bad enough when I hav to make choises for me but can you imagine making choises for two of me...or maybe it's the same since I'm dating myself. But I don't think I would be able to date myself anyways b/c I'd drive myself CRAZY! Oh my God I wonder who the hell will date me after I put online that I drive myself crazy. I will never get a boyfriend this way!

[dramasnot6]

I've just thought if one dates one's self, you wouldnt have to so anything to impress yourself! No dieting, no dressing up, no fake laughs...

[That Guy]

Hmm... Date myself? Well I do enjoy talking to myself... In the end, no, it would'nt work out too well. We might have a few...conflicts... Hey if one me killed the other me would that be suicide? I guess I'll never know.

[dramasnot6]

Good question...maybe assisted suicide if you told the other me to kill the other me?

[babyface123]

I wouldn't want to date myself, that's kind of weird.. your single, your single, your taken, your taken and thats that.

[LadyW]

That's a hard one, because if you think about it, it's two people who are totally identical in every way dating one another. So I suppose I wouldn't if that was the case.
So my answer would depend entirely upon what kind of person I am (not me, the other me). Haha.

[Pensive]

Would you date yourself?


Yup.........

:lol:

Now that was about three years back....hmmm...am supposed to have metamorphosed quite a lot during all this time but I guess in this matter my opinion still remains the same. 'Myself' would probably be the only person I can date if I have to date....here you have got a perfectionist. :p

[Niamh]

Not a hope!:lol: I'd drive myself bonkers!

[papayahed]

I think I would have a good time with myself on a casual date, hanging out, I'm fun! But I don't think I could be in a long term relationship with myself - I'm too moody and sometimes I can be cranky. I know it's hard to believe...


I still agree.

[manolia]

I wouldn't. I talk too much and never get to the point ;)

[Prole]

Hmmm, do I go with arrogance or self-loathing? Nah, I'd like to hang out with myself, but not date myself. I would, however recommend him to others. He's a great guy! ;)

[Nighteyes5678]

I would love to get to know myself better and, if there was attraction, go from there. ^_^

[Dori]

No. Last time I checked I was attracted to members of the opposite sex. ;)

EDIT: I can't believe this is my 1,000th post. :lol:

[applepie]

Most definatly not:lol: I can't imagine having two of me in a relationship. According to my husband it is hard work to keep up with my moods, and I can't imagine being with someone as tempermental as me. It would be a disaster to say the least, and I don't need another me in a relationship. I need someone like my husband who can calm me, temper my moods, and force me to relax once in a while. Sometimes he just forces me to sit and stop moving at twenty miles a minute, and I have to have that. Two people who keep life as hectic as me as a couple would surely cause themselves to have heart attacks or they would never have time for one another.

[1n50mn14]

NO way! I am jealous, paranoid, suspicious and clingy!

[aeroport]

Nah, too depressing...

[chasestalling]

If I dated myself, I'd be in jail for murder.

[amalia1985]

No way!!! I am so stubborn to death!!!

[Virgil]

Am I the only one who loves himself? :D Yeah who wouldn't want to date me. :p :lol:

[Weisinheimer]

no, too moody and emotional.

[Prole]

I'm sure you are all great people but just dont know it. I can be a depressing paranoid git at times too, but quite frankly if you dont like yourself you shouldnt inflict yourself on others!

[PeterL]

Whereas I am thoroughly heterosexual, I would not date myself; but I would be wildly enthusiastic about a woman who was so like me that she seemed to be a mirror image. it would be really nice to have someone pick up all of the references and nuances.

[manolia]

I'm sure you are all great people but just dont know it. I can be a depressing paranoid git at times too, but quite frankly if you dont like yourself you shouldnt inflict yourself on others!

:lol: :lol:
..we shouldn't inflict ourselves on others

or

we could start looking for willing mazochists :p

[Dori]

I'm sure you are all great people but just dont know it. I can be a depressing paranoid git at times too, but quite frankly if you dont like yourself you shouldnt inflict yourself on others!

:lol:

I have one thing to say about that: preferences vary. ;)

[Bakiryu]

Hell yeah!

Not that I'm self loving or anything but If I was someone else I met at random, then sure.

Somebody would actually get all my quotes (and bad jokes)!

[amalia1985]

:lol: :lol:

we could start looking for willing mazochists :p

:D :D :D :D :D :thumbs_up :thumbs_up :thumbs_up :thumbs_up :thumbs_up :thumbs_up
Keep one for me!

[Ydfkdy]

:lol: Hell yea i love me,but then i would cheat on me for pleasure. That's ok I won't mind as long as I am in agreement.

[kilted exile]

I'm sure you are all great people but just dont know it. I can be a depressing paranoid git at times too, but quite frankly if you dont like yourself you shouldnt inflict yourself on others!

Nah, I know exactly how great I am and have come to the conclusion that to deny me to the world would be a crime against humanity, and seeing as I dont want to be on trial at the hague I cant date myself

[Oniw17]

I wouldn't date myself. I think two anti-social perfectionists might have some communication problems.

[smartgirl]

This doesn't answer your question, but I have no earthly idea.

I probably would, but then again, I might not. There are so many good and bad things about me, that I don't know if all the good would make me wanna date me, or enough bad to persuade me to stay away from dating me.
Does that make any sense?

[Themis]

somebody asked this question on another board. Well, would you?

No. And that's not an encouraging thought, you know?

[Ryduce]

No,I'm far too unattractive to live up to my standards.

However,my personality is top notch.

Also,I wouldn't be comfortable kissing a man.

[Homyrrh]

...Also,I wouldn't be comfortable kissing a man.

Precisely. And once you've gone beyond that part, it becomes even more challenging.

Personally, I have a distorted envy for money, so no, I could never date myself. That's just freakin' gay. No question.

[islandclimber]

well I do spend an inordinate amount of time in front of the mirror... you know a "mirror, mirror, on the wall" kind of thing, occasionally kissing my reflection... I mean, I never do that...

though, i may be kind of narcissistic at times, I do like being alone most of the time, melancholy, desolate, sad, fading from existence... having another me there would be a problem...

so I wouldn't date myself, it would just be too much melancholy...

[AimusSage]

I cloned myself, didn't work out, big fight, clone ended up in hospital didn't survive the night, good thing I installed a termination switch... :D

[Hurricane]

It depends. If I ever met Hurricane, male edition, and we dated, I feel that it'd be a painful experience, but possibly rewarding. I am blunt, stubborn, and incredibly awkward. Also, I probably wouldn't be interested in myself.

[JuniperWoolf]

I'd prolly look pretty good as a boy... sure, I'd give me a shot.

[Katy North]

I'm waaaaay too confusing to date seriously, unless you're as confusing as I am...

In that case, a couple of me's would probably be good together! :p

[Nightshade]

I have one question why did you revive the thread scher are we revive the thread again??
Ive said it before and the answer is HA no! Although then I would be allowed to talk to myself, and I will have someone who truley appreciates the beauty and amazingness of kitchen notes, and who will always be happy to make me cups of tea.... hmmm I need to think about this :now what is that new smilie again?:

[Haunted]

I and myself can't stand each other, so NO

[Mariner]

Hell yes. I'd go gay for Mariner. Or seduce female-me in about five seconds.

[Nax]

Ya ide definately date female me

in fact ive been looking for her my whole life

someone smart, funny, GIVING, a few nice talents, angel in the kitchen devil in the bedroom, easy to look at but elegant and classy.

is she out there? who knows.

[blazeofglory]

Which mortal does not wish for it.

[applepie]

I think I've changed my mind after a couple of years :) It's close enough to creating a clone to help with everything :lol:

[Satan]

Would you date yourself?
I'd definitely have a beer or two with my clone, but date him? No way! Differences make a relationship interesting.

[Taliesin]

I would go straight for myself.
Or asexual.

[blazeofglory]

I would go straight for myself.
Or asexual.

Live back in time to an amoebic stage of evolution at which you need no partner

[soundofmusic]

Ladies, have you noticed that all of the guys are opting to date themselves; it makes you kind of wonder what a man wants from a woman:alien:


I'd like to have myself as a friend; I think I'd choose a date that didn't want to discuss "the meaning of life" in the sack:p

[Maximilianus]

Ladies, have you noticed that all of the guys are opting to date themselves; it makes you kind of wonder what a man wants from a woman:alien:
Not me, I would like to date a lady, and I don't want much. Actually I would only ask for a mild explanation for "distance", and not distance in the physical context, but distance like when you notice they are doing all they can to avoid you. That's it... of course when the lady in question feels the will for explanation... if ever.

[The Comedian]

No. I wouldn't.

That's it... of course when the lady in question feels the will for explanation... if ever.

It hurts when people distance themselves from you. In retrospect, I think if it ever happened again; I would take the distance as an explanation in itself and not try to look for a rational.
You know, I don't know, if I were a man,if I would find "a lady" all that intriguing:idea:

No. I wouldn't.
Why wouldn't you date yourself. You've got all the qualities a lover could want, sensitivity and a sense of humor...are you handsome and rich as well:wink5:

[OrphanPip]

I'd date myself, then leave me after discovering I'm disappointing in bed.

[Lulim]

No, I wouldn't -- I'm boring.

[Lote-Tree]

Yes. That is the only way I can ensure some intelligent conversation ;-)

[Scheherazade]

Yes. That is the only way I can ensure some intelligent conversation ;-)"Intelligent" or "intelligible"?

:p

[Maryd.]

Not now, because I would probably compete against myself in a dance off and break a leg or something stupid like that. But I would have dated me in my mid twenties... They were the fun years.

[Maximilianus]

It hurts when people distance themselves from you. In retrospect, I think if it ever happened again; I would take the distance as an explanation in itself and not try to look for a rational.
It must be so, I suppose.

[magzarelli]

No way, there are much serious people out there!

[blazeofglory]

Dating demands a heart to start with and a preparedness to end with.

Between these two points you will enjoy dating yourself.

If you are cowardly to face the undesired better not date

[Maximilianus]

This makes a deep sense.

[blazeofglory]

In fact I have seen people dating themselves and when they have to peaking it something gets in the way and a partner shrinks back. The other feels hurt. And prepares for another time and the first experience hangs on and things go on like ebb and flow unendingly and all else end up in getting no one who really cares for her. I have seen too many flaws when people date themselves. Dating becomes an obsession, a very bone-dry obsession

Well done my friend.

[blazeofglory]

I always thought you were philosophical, now I know you are...
Well done my friend.

Maryd, can you teach me how to de-philosophize myself and come to terms with the commonplace

[billl]

Blaze,

Dating oneself has two common meanings

1. (Pretty common, and the point of this thread) Imagine going to dinner or spending a romantic evening with ONESELF. You trying to get kisses from YOU, etc. Instead of dating a beautiful woman, you are dating YOURSELF. ('to date' means 'to have a romantic appointment, perhaps for dinner, etc.')

2. (Also common) This phrase can also mean "to provide evidence of one's age." So. if you say your first favorite band was the Beatles, that might place one's age in the 40's or 50's or whatever. And if one says that one doesn't know what an LP (long playing record) is, then maybe one is less than 20 years old... That is 'dating' oneself, ie. assigning some particular range of ages.

Maybe this will help explain the confusion between Blaze and MaryD

Thank you bill, I agree I had been slightly beside the point. Maybe dating is rather uncommon in the society I live in.

[billl]

I think, then, you are probably referring to cases in which someone becomes, "introspective." Or, more harshly, "self-centered."

[blazeofglory]

Maybe you are right bill

[billl]

Well, I guess, in a strange sense, that is the original question....

But then, it can (VERY easily) be reinterpreted as "not dating anybody" (else), and then the condemnations simply rain down upon such a decision. "Dating" is sort of regarded as a necessary (but perhaps uncomfortable step) before finding a permanent mate. (or a-perhaps-permanent-mate, amongst the more flexiblly committted... Or whatever...)

You have really delineated the sense of it to me, and of course I was wrong to understand the spirit of the post and that is why maryd laughed at me. Yet I do not feel hurt since it is a chat room wherein we can share ideas freely and openly and everybody is at liberty to express the idea. I sill feel grateful to Maryd and had she not satirized me I never could understand this simple thing. English is not my native language and I find it at times a very tricky language and you bill, I feel really appreciative.

[billl]

Don't worry, Blaze. You occasionally dig up usages and concepts that common, everyday English has often (indelicatley) turned its back on. The occasional confusion is MUCH MORE than worth it, in my opinion. For these issues, in some sense, remain... And this sort of confusion is a slight price to pay for an insight into a mind from Nepal, or China, or Indonesia, or where-have you...

[Heathcliff]

Haha, this is funny.
Well, I absolutely adore myself, so there'd be no problem there. :lol:
Only it wouldn't work out.
Mum would yell at me for dating.
Dad would yell at the me that I'm dating for going out with his daughter.
I don't feel like getting in trouble. Especially not twice.

Also, I don't like girls, and I live with me, I know how much of a nuisance I am.

Meaning number 2 hadn't occurred to me. Thank you billl. Again it seems I owe you another piece of linguistic enlightenment (billl is such a nonesuch :D) :thumbsup:

Of course, I never think things through. :nod:

Still, I'd argue with myself so much that I'd be miserable. Still, I would come to a conclusion and never have to leave myself. It is practical to have the same morals as a date does and that being me would be an absolute delight.

Only both myself and I are both pretty cheap... :hat:

[*Classic*Charm*]

HA

never

[janesmith]

Definitely NOT. I could never live up to my expectations!

[stephofthenight]

Well I have very high expectations that I would fail miserbly at.
I'm overly demanding of myself, so to add the demanding ness of a relationship..sheesh
I never get sleep as it is but I would have to make time for talking to myself :P
Communication would be a booger,
And I don't think max would much like it :P
so no, bad idea all around

[Maximilianus]

(...) And I don't think max would much like it :P (...)
No I wouldn't. I'm overly jealous, unwilling to share thee with thyself :p

[Bastable]

I wouldn't date myself because i'd never muster the courage to ask myself out on a date. Although, if by some freak occurrence i did end out dating myself it wouldn't go anywhere. Because i'd have the exact same tastes and interests it would just get boring and i'd end up resenting myself for being so unoriginal.

[Heathcliff]

I wouldn't go out with my self because I'd make all of my admirers jealous.

Assuming I have admirers.

[Indyben]

I would not date myself if you paid me.

[ClaesGefvenberg]

I guess you could say that I am dating myself everyday... At any rate, I cannot seem to get rid of the bastard :ihih:

I think I AM dating myself!http://www.online-literature.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4544


If self-dating gets monotonous and lonesome, maybe you guys can consider dating each other!

PS: You are welcome!

:smilewinkgrin:

[Caderyn]

I'm not sure it's physically possible to lower my standards anymore. And I don't want to appear that desperate.

[Heathcliff]

I wouldn't date myself.

Not until I get a haircut and shower on a more regular basis.
I'd spend all my time telling myself off. :lol:

[Indyben]

I would get too bored of myself to date myself lol

[Maryd.]

I'd be to busy telling me off, for something I didn't really do.

[_Shannon_]

Oh heck yes! I'm a great person to know--lots of fun, willing to always try and learn knew things, dedicated to healthy communication and growing as a human being---very willing to be corrected and admit when I'm wrong. I bring out the best in people and I make people laugh, and can heartily laugh at myself--but also make people feel safe to share the worst in themselves and hold them as they cry. I can offer advice if that's wanted--but also just listen. I can serve and be served. I can be strong and weak. I can lead and follow. My greatest defect is that I struggle with BS and passive aggressiveness in others--as well as people who don't live their lives with everything they've got (or at least everything they are capable of at the time--since our capacities are ever-changing)---but I'm not like that so we'd be all good, me and me.:cheers2:

[Heathcliff]

I would care about myself too much. :rolleyes:
"NOOOO!! Hold my hand when you walk across the road!!"

[Indyben]

Hell no, I would get too sick of myself.

[Heathcliff]

I think everyone would be too good at finding their own faults and therefore think less of both themself and the other person... Okay that's my thinking done for today.
But since when does anyone really know what they want? Agreeing with yourself would lead you into either being bored or being trouble. :nod:

But I'd end up never speaking to myself. I didn't call myself too many times. :nod: :lol:

[Indyben]

:lol:

[papayahed]

They stole my idea:

[Ahkilleus]

When not in a relationship with another, date yourself. Then, you can always be romantically satisfied.

[Indyben]

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo way in hell

[Heathcliff]

I wouldn't go out with myself today.

I told myself I was too tired.
Now I'm angry that me had the same excuse as myself. I can't tell if one of me is lying. :)

[Indyben]

There are two of you? Which one am I going out with?

[Heathcliff]

I don't know who you are going out with... Hrm... I'll have to ask the other one.

-Sharpens nails in preparation for a fight with the other me-

[Indyben]

Ladies, ladies, keep it civil.

[Kyriakos]

If i was homosexual i would date myself :)

[Scheherazade]

The OP:

somebody asked this question on another board. Well, would you?

[AuntShecky]

Every time I make a cultural reference, I "date" myself.

[Ecurb]

I'm too good for myself. Unequal relationships like that never work out.

[YesNo]

Every time I make a cultural reference, I "date" myself.

That's what I thought dating oneself meant when I first opened this thread.

To answer the original question, now that I understand it, I probably wouldn't mind dating myself. It might not be a bad idea. I would get to pick the restaurant and movie. I could bring up quantum physics or poetry in the conversation and not worry about the effect that might have (not that I would worry much anyway).

[Helga]

don't know, I do talk to myself a lot, and I answer too, isn't that what you do in relationships?

[cacian]

let see.... i do not think so i am too rowdy and more of the same would just be impossible :D

[JuniperWoolf]

Sure, I'll give me a shot. I'd better treat me well though, my father is a bit protective.

[qimissung]

You might as well, cause you're going to end up with yourself anyways.

[Gilliatt Gurgle]

No, if my old lady caught on, she'd have me drawn and quartered.

[Volya]

Probably not, given I'm not homosexual...

I think I'd get along quite well with myself though. We'd probably sit quietly together, reading books, generally enjoying a peaceful atmosphere that I suppose could only be generated when in the company of somebody who truly understands what's going on in your head. I doubt there would ever be any arguments or conflict, since if one of us was bothered by something then the other would know perfectly well what he was bothered by so would not get upset by the other's moody behaviour.

[Oedipus]

If the other me follows the example of all women I've ever tried to talk to, there will be a restraining order instead of a date.

[papayahed]

I think I would have a good time with myself on a casual date, hanging out, I'm fun! But I don't think I could be in a long term relationship with myself - I'm too moody and sometimes I can be cranky. I know it's hard to believe...



I agree. Still.

[papayahed]

ok, seriously you guys? When I started this thread the sexual aspect never entered my mind, this had more to do with personality and spending time with yourself.

[sandy14]

Date myself? Where's the fun in that? I'd just bore myself to death. Sometimes we learn more about ourselves by experiencing "the other" and that's something a partner can bring.

But dating implies a romantic relationship, not a friendly one.

[papayahed]

Dating does not equal sex.

[Volya]

Dating does not equal sex.

Well it equals at least a kiss if it's a romantic relationship.

[oneghin]

Absolutely yes....finally I would understand what does mean to have a relationship with a person jealous and obsessive and so I could say that it's not so bad!!!!!!

I think the sex would be great - I'm still not bored with myself in that respect.

I supposed if the light part of my personality dated the heavy part of my personality - that might work, but not the two together!

[tonywalt]

what do you mean with "I'm still not bored with myself in that respect." -- You are not bored doing it alone or you know that you are so good and you like the way you make sex .. and you are the super sex maker : ) .. and you wouldn't be bored with your self? :)

In answer to your question: Both. But, we are joking about - at least I am:)

[Lykren]

No! I want to date a happy person. Is that too much to ask?
