Would you date yourself?

[Gráinne]

I don't know how I missed this thread when it came out a decade (!) ago. I'm just now "coming back" and re-bumping things myself.

I read the whole thing, and among the laughs and deep thoughts (and pain from some), maybe a better question is: Do you like/love yourself?

For you can't hope to have a great relationship with anyone else until you have such a relationship with yourself.

As for myself, I think if I were to meet myself right now, I'd like my humor, strength, intelligence, and sure, nice looks , but I'd recognize a troubled person going through a lot. Not that it makes me unavailable, but I'd be cautious about getting involved until a later time.

But I'd also see someone who wants to work hard and get to a great place and is hella smart enough to know how to do it. So yes, I'd date myself and go along for a bumpy but fun ride!
