Be honest...do you think you're eligible? (149)
Many many moons ago, I was having lunch with a friend/mentor. I stated that I often thought I was a very loving person. Rick looked down at me (he stands about 6'5") and said, "Patrick, you are one of the most loving people I know, your problem is that you do not know how to receive love".
He was right, that was 18 years ago and to this day, I am a work in progress..

I'm sure you do like yourself, you appear so sound. Do try to love yourself for I believe it is what we are sent here to do and when we find that love of the self then and only then can we share that love with others. Think how wonderful it would be to experience true love, to give and receive love in its purest form must be soooooo good. That is my quest and I work hard at it, sometimes it seems like an impossible task and other times it is so easy depending on my frame of mind and what turmoils I am experiencing at any given time. Enough of this talk already, I feel I am preaching somewhat and that was never my intention. I like you can be serious at times and mad craic at other times. I think you are half way there already so be proud and have fun. x

Well.. without getting into too much deep crap.. 
it's easier said than done when you don't really like what you see.
But I do know what you mean.

I can say beyond the shadow of a doubt, I will never make anyone happy. Too many flaws for others to contend with. Lovable?? Hell no, I don't even like me. And please respond to the OP and not this!!

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.
