Guest guest Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 I think we can all relate to personality really matters. I am so attracted to someone who can make me laugh and is sensative... Once I am attracted to their inner beauty no matter how they look they are gorgeous on the outside too. haha I think everyone is beautiful hahaha Lin Hunnicutt wrote: Hi Mike, In many ways, I am the same.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 That's an excellent point, defiantly something you may want to talk to a therapist if you've not already done that, or try to find a new vice, since eating was your old one. Isn't it strange how our minds work against us in situations like that. It's like, if someone finds you attractive and it makes you uncomfortable, we then feel the need to make ourselves unattractive. But, knowing me, I probably enjoy it, undesirable attention really didn't bother me much, cause I'd always say something like, " HEY BUDDY!! take a picture ita last longer, " or something along those lines. It usually depended on the guy. I hope this is something you will be able to embrace, by thinking... " Man I do look good, " and let it boost your ego not make you feel uneasy. > > > > > > I'm definitely high maintenance and darn proud of it!

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 LOL! You sound like my husband when we first started dating. He was dead set against marriage. Didn't want any part of it! I never pushed the issue but 1 time when I thought it would be an issue w/ getting custody back of my daughter. Even then....no! 4 years later we're married. He about shocked the crap outta me when he proposed! Never thought I'd see the day! W 380/293/160 Mike wrote: > I'm high maintenance? How so?

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 I think making dinner together is tons better than going out! :-) Although I rarely eat out anymore.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 I'm different in that I welcome the attention. I'm feeling so much more confident in myself these days!
