Would you want to marry yourself?

I had a thought yesterday that has been on my mind ever since.  Would I want to marry myself?  And then the thought of whether this is a gauge to see if women want to marry me came up.

The answer, unfortunately, is no.  I would not want to marry myself.  However, I don't know why.  It could be because of my personality.  But it also could be because I'm looking for someone to complement me, not be me.  I don't want to marry my mirror image.  I mean, why would I do that?  From a physical standpoint I don't find myself attractive (though I am a somewhat attractive guy).  But I don't need the skills that I have already in a relationship.  I don't need someone who does all the grocery shopping or cleans up the house.  I don't need someone who cooks all the time or plays videogames.  I really just want someone who loves me.

Hey, is that it?  Maybe I don't love myself?  But that still doesn't change the fact that I don't want to marry myself.  I want to marry someone else.  But if I don't want to marry me, does that mean that others don't want to marry me too?  How does that work?

I still lack friends

I just found out tonight that two of my friends don't seem to like me anymore.  I really try to be the best friend I possibly can to people.  I think it's odd and alarming that a 26-year-old man can't seem to develop close, intimate relationships with people.  It's not like I'm a psychopath or something!  It's just like there's something I'm missing.  Like I have all the other pieces to the puzzle of interpersonal relationships, but I'm missing that one piece that makes the picture make sense.
