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?
David! I think this an interesting concept. Obviously, we don't want to marry ourselves because we see all our weaknesses and imperfections. There's someone I know that's basically the same person as me and in fact, I don't really like her that much. Interesting, right? I think you need to give yourself more credit! :) You're a great guy! Don't let what other people think about you hinder your ability to date or start a relationship. (Even though, I feel very hypocritical when I say that....) :) My dad always tells me that relationships will happen when we least expect it. I know that's totally cliche, but SO INCREDIBLY TRUE. Slash you love my dad, so take his advice :) haha
