Up until a few years ago, I made it a point to try and be home every Saturday. On Saturday's, I would go and get my grandmother out of the assisted living home for a day out. Our first stop every Saturday was Dairy Queen so I could get her an ice cream. She loved her ice cream. I still miss her.
Most definitely. It has taken me a long time to become the person that I am today and that is part of it. To be unfaithful, whether long distance or not, would be hurting me as much as the person that I was with.
You would be happier. I would be also. However, to depend on someone else for our overall happiness is to always be sadly disappointed and never satisfied.
One or two personality flaws? I've worn out a couple of irons trying to get my personality straightened out so far. In the end, it doesn't really matter what I believe. If someone doesn't think I have what it takes, then it will go nowhere.
I did cancel my account here once. Came back after a while and stayed for quite some time. I then de-activated my account for a few months. I think the only reason I re-activated it was because I screwed up and found myself stuck at home with not much to do. After being here for about 2 years, I see my chances of actually finding someone on here between slim and none.
To those that are fortunate enough to have found someone, I wish you luck.
RE: How close do you think you would come to seeing yourself as others see you?
Almost no one gets close enough to me to see beyond the surface persona.
