I'm laughing because otherwise I'd be tearing out my hair in frustration! I just started corresponding with a guy on Yahoo personals...I ask him a few questions, he responds but doesn't ask me anything. So I write back to him, ask a couple more questions, and say feel free to ask me any questions that aren't answered by my profile.

So, he writes back, "what do you like to do in your spare time"?

ARGH!!! My profile is FULL of what I like to do in my spare time!

I'm debating how to answer or even whether to answer...right now I'm leaning towards something along the lines of, well, as it SAYS IN MY PROFILE, which you would know if you'd bothered to read it, I like to...

Maybe I should just hit delete...

Sheri -

Awesome news!!

I have to say, I was reluctant to read the board this morning; I'm back online after a six month hiatus, and actually encouraged by some of my responses so didn't want to get a big fat cup of healthy OLD reality this morning. The fact that you had a great date is amazing!

I've been a supporter of yours since you helped me through a bad breakup last August on the Breakup boards -- I'm rootin' for ya, gal!

>>i swear there's a reason i'm still single... and it isn't me!!!<<

Forgive me for being so rude as to point this out... but the sole common factor in every single relationship you have ever had with any/all romantic partners is YOU.

That doesn't mean that I'm saying there's something WRONG with you, only that it's silly to completely reject the notion that YOU might have something to do with YOUR relationship/s (or lack thereof) with other people or romantic partners.

I believe it is, at a minimum, a joint deal. Even if I wind up with, say, a control freak of a woman and have to break up with her, ultimately that is at least *partially* my own fault and reason. After all, I am the one who got involved with her in the first place.

So if there is a reason you're still single, odds are nearly 100% that it's at least *partially* you.

of course it's partially me... i know that! i'm not so un-evolved not to know that.

however, in some situations, i know it's not me.

Congrat’s, you deserve it. My only two cents; if things progress with this guy and you become exclusive and down the road you have some bumps, search inside for the answers – I’ve done this in the past, getting opinions from everyone and in the end I went with my own gut. You trust yourself in business you can trust yourself to do the right thing in the relationship. Woo – hoo!

Cheers,
SP

I think what happypets means is that sometimes she recognizes a relationship is not "it" for her so she moves on...you can't always say it's at least "partially" her fault, because it may not be.

NGOL-May I ask why you felt the need to point this out?

It has always been in my experience that anyone that feels the need to point out and criticize is someone who has some insecurity issues.
