ha! too late Ship.

I know for a fact lots of the ladies here find you very *Lovable* ACT-u-ally

and still sees the same beautiful woman

ARGGH!

I think that I have what it takes to make MYSELF happy and contented, which I fully believe is the first (and most important) building block towards making another feel this way. In other words...if I am not at peace with myself; if I do not feel that I am worthy of love, what sort of partner could I be to someone?
Beyond this...yes...I definitely feel that I have what it takes. I may have ironed out a flaw here or there, but I don't kid myself (or others) that I am flaw-free. I simply make the best of what and who I am, acknowledge that I DO have flaws, do my best to either work on them or accept them as they are, and try to place emphasis on those things that are most important. I present myself as favorably as possible, but do not for a moment attempt to compete with women half my age or blessed with better genes than mine.
Do I genuinely believe that I am lovable in the superlative sense?
Hell, yes! And do you know how I know this? I have many friends. Many. People who truly care about me and who have shown their affection for me time and time again. I believe (with all my heart) that the love I receive from my friends is a clear indication that I am a lovable person. I may never find the sort of romantic love that I hope to find, but this takes nothing away from me; I am still lovable and desering of love....just may not find it.

HMMMMMMMMMM...Well I have lots of flaws...Have ironed...starched and pressed until my hearts content...BUT I will never be perfect...BUT I am happy with myself and I know that I can't make anyone happy...they have to be happy with themselves in order to be happy with someone else!!!!!!!

Yes I am.

well said girl!!!!!

Love your picture Hugz!!

I think it's possible where there is mutual understanding and an emotinal affinity there; as long as we don't get on each other's nerves it has potential. I'm trying to be more aware of my own flaws. Will I master them completely at some point? I hope so, but realistically speaking, probably not 100%, so he would need to be understanding and loving as oppoosed to critical and on the defensive; I in turn would need to be just as aware and understanding of his own shortcomings. Am I lovable in a superlative sense? Potentially if I open up more; not demonstrative enough in that respect.

Thanx...It was taken in June on a girl night out!!!!!!!

If I based a relationship success or failure on whether I'm responsible to cause or not cause another person's happiness and contentment - then I'm doomed to failure from the start.

All I can say is that I feel happy and content for the most part in my life - am I satisfied entirely with who I'm at the moment - no, but I'm a work in progress .... and as long as I keep on trying to improve myself as I see my flaws exposed - then I think that's all I can ask of myself.

Personality flaws - certainly I have them, but nothing so outrageous that it would have someone bypass me ....... I have certain gifts that I've been dealt and I've made the most of them.

Am I lovable? Certainly - but its because someone else has made that choice to love me ..... just as I choose everyday to love myself as well - regardless of my imperfections.

I guess not Ken !! I am sure it doesnt preclude.

Maybe the making someone happy would heal a lot of things for both.

A loving companion can change your whole world around, me thinks.

Awwww!

You've melted the glacier of my heart and caused it to calve.
The resultant iceberg has slipped into my stomach and frozen all
the butterflies there!lol

I agree and I was lucky to have a companion who gave me as much love as I gave her.

Now to find that again...that is the question...but I have a positive attitude now thanks to friends like you...

I am a work in progress baby!

YEAH...I CAN... C. IT'S HAPPENING NOW. ISN'T IT....RIYA...

no.. i dont think so.

Sweet, U saved me so much typing. I can't think of a thing U have written herer that I would not have written about myself, myself. One thing though, until I can completely let go of the last GF there is no way I can completely give myself up to a new GF. I am currently trying, I hope I am as ready as I must be.
