Would you date yourself?

[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,

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. 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.

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

[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 ), just the date-worthy (another nice word ) people don't see me that way
I wouldn't date myself because I know myself way too much (d'oh ) but I think I'd make a good dating material for others. I so don't make any sense at all
What I'm trying to say, despite all the bad habits I sport (no idea why I used that verb, don't ask ) 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?

That's plenty of smileys you got there

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 , *waves* Hello simon )

[Bongitybongbong]

Yeah I'm not afraid to admit it. I would date myself...come on I'm the 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 =)

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.

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?

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.
