would you date Yourself...?

Is it just me or does anybody else ask themselves if you would make a good partner, boyfriend/girlfriend and a step further - a worthy wife/husband?  I thought long and hard about this today (one of my improvement sessions)  If I was an attractive, nice guy that I am interested in - WOULD i date me? 

NOW, if you know me well, you would know my answer...

BUT here are a few things that I thought about... what qualities do i possess, what value do i bring to my relationships? what are my shortcomings?  How secure am i?  I thought what a better way to find out then to ask my recent ex's...So I wanted to know what he would change about me? or what really bothered him about me when we were together?  AND What can i change to be a better girlfriend in my next relationship?  He thought for a second then he said- god there's a list and where do i begin : "when you get really excited, you shriek and it really bothers me.  And i also can't stand it when you talk in your sorority voice and lingo."  I  held my breadth as i wait for him to hit me with the brutal truth... ( like i hate your guts, maybe i make faces? ) and he said yeah thats its.  Really and THAT was it! that's all he had for me. So I called another one... for whatever reason we broke up, can you tell me what bothered you about me?  He said he needed to think about it and will call me back.  So he did and his answer was, "i couldn't stand your independence".  And that was it!! Really!!!!!  I am independent and apparently i make sorority shrieks when i get excited - if that is all that's against me then I am doing pretty well, huh?   

So heres my deal, I am pretty comfortable with myself, and as much as I used to joke about being "perfect" with my friends, I know i am not purrfect. Infact, i am aware that I have lots of room for improvement. But I sure do know how to make someone else feel good about themselves, and also put their best interest at heart, and the bigger scheme of life and relationships ... I know that it also involves more than just looking good, having fun, or just a great time in bed. AND its' all of that and more-  the right chemistry, and also the timing... and under the right circumstances, Yeah I would date myself with a little tweak here and there. 

BUT here is the question for you to ask yourself- ( now be open and honest ) WOULD YOU DATE YOU?

Hey girl.. That's such an interesting question. But I'd have to say that I'm not sure if I would date myself. I have every reason in the world to say absolutely. I mean, the sex would be amazing, although we'd both be versatile bottoms which means one of us would always be preferring something else, which could get annoying. We both have the same sense of humor and the same interests, obviously. And neither of us would compromise so much of ourselves to skew the power dynamic in any way, so it would defintely be an equal relationship. But the one reason I would say that I'm unsure if it would work is the fact that we'd both be so damn independent that if anything came in the way of our life plans, the other might suffer. But then again, maybe I'm just not yet ready to date myself. hehe.

Hell, yes. I am pretty good looking, funny, smart and successful. Totally loyal when I am with someone. Could lose a few pounds, but overall I am a good catch.

P.S. I am hot in bed too.
