| Dating Yourself Posted: 5/22/2006 7:29:08 AM | Really great thread...nice to see that so many people realize the importance of taking care of their emotional selves before trying to commit to anyone else's. I've dated myself for so long that I'm nervous about adding someone else to the relationship...LOL Where oh where to begin! Good job JBH  | |

| Dating Yourself Posted: 5/22/2006 8:30:56 AM | | Just be honest. An interesting post. I totally agree with you on what you said. Sometimes after a bad breakup, it's a good thing to just take time for yourself and give your heart time to mend. The idea of spending time on yourself is an interesting idea. Sounds simple enough. Even just finding new hobbies, or interests to occupy your time may help you to get over a bad situation as well as possibly meet new people in the process. You never know what might happen. | |

| Dating Yourself Posted: 5/22/2006 8:42:39 AM | ...pamper yourself when it comes to attending to your own "intimate" needs...But cultivate that vibe - you know the one
Dear JUSTBEHONEST:
You got me rolling around under my desk laughing. NO!! JUST NO !!! Please, please don't become a woman just get out there and find one.

| Dating Yourself Posted: 5/22/2006 5:03:01 PM | I'm really getting tired of myself. I'm actually thinking about breaking up with myself
I just don't want to upset myself. The sex just hasn't been the same lately. No spark and the same old thing. I try to spice it up but quickly lose interest again. We once could communicate by just looking into each other's eyes and now it just seems like we are drifting apart. I don't know if I should leave myself a note or just do it face to face. I tried time and time again to discuss with myself that we need to communicate better but it just goes back to the same thing after about a week. I just don't listen or try. I am scared to be alone and what if I change my mind and can't find myself again? Somebody please give me some advise  | |

| Dating Yourself Posted: 5/22/2006 5:30:45 PM | I TOOK MY SELF OUT ON vALENTINES THE LAST TWO YEARS. I HAVE A GREAT DINNER, AND WATCH THE OTHERS, SOME WITH FAMILY, ALOT OF SINGLE FOLKS, I MAKE SURE I TIP WELL AS I UNDERSTAND THE DOWNSIDE OF SEATING A SINGLE PERSON RATHER THEN A COUPLE. I DO GO TO MOVIES BY MYSELF. THAT ONE DOES FEEL A LITTLE MORE UNCOMFORTABLE, HOWEVER. IT'S STILL GOOD TO GET OUT THERE. NOW IF i CAN JUST GO BOWLING BY MYSELF...I'LL HAVE IT MADE...  | |

| Dating Yourself Posted: 5/22/2006 6:35:02 PM | Your post is quite true. Good advice. I think many women have been doing this already. Treating themselves to little dinners and indulgences to pass the single time and find pleasure being alone. I would guess that guys are less likely to really spoil themselves.
I have been dating myself for way too long now. I know what i want/when i want it. Make great meals/cuddle on the couch/go for walks/long baths/spa treatments/buy clothes/me, myself and i have 3 somes once in a while-wild times! Its getting quite routine now though. I really need to go back to 2 somes...with a real man...no batteries req'd! | |

| Dating Yourself Posted: 5/22/2006 6:55:31 PM | OP...GREAT ADVICE!!!
Sorry, got a bit excited...it happens when I see the odd positive post, lol! | |

| Dating Yourself Posted: 5/22/2006 7:47:33 PM | I can't get myself to put out after the date. I get the usual "not tonight...my wrist is tired." | |

| Dating Yourself Posted: 5/22/2006 8:04:27 PM | JustBeHonest...I did this starting 2 years ago, and man it feel great...I went through a period of time where, all I could do was take care of OTHERS needs, I used to bend over backwards to kiss my own azz to take care of others.
I woke up one day (from my reoccuring nightmare I had never woken up from) and I started takn care of my own self, I moved to AZ, found a new job, then I lost that job, I sold everything I owned (but my car) I headed South and now I am here livn in Florida, just got a promotion, buying a house, in school, livn on my own, bills are all paid up and off...Feeln and lookn wonderful..
I feel better now than I have ever felt in my life...
Thank you for bringing that up JustBeHonest, it helps to know a man feels the way I do...
Take Care

| Dating Yourself Posted: 5/22/2006 8:05:45 PM | Whoo hoo!! What a great thread. I agree, people need to like and love themselves before they can really be in a relationship. If you don't you can be very needy, self conscious, and accept less than you deserve.
Take sometime out for you, and find out you truly are a great catch!!
Love and light, Me | |

| Dating Yourself Posted: 5/30/2006 1:12:21 PM | Hey, JBH, and everybody:
This has to be the best topic and responses ever! Great! Serious, goofy and deliciously dirty at the time! Kudos to all!
Of course, like many of us, I have dated myself. However, I just end up taking advantage of myself...repeatedly...I feel so...ashamed...but satisfied. ...Uhhh, gotta go. 'Bye!
David

| Dating Yourself Posted: 5/30/2006 2:17:22 PM | | I dated myself for awhile but it didn't work out very well becauuse I didn't have my own transportation. | |

| Dating Yourself Posted: 5/30/2006 3:04:10 PM | | Being single doesn't mean you are incomplete............it is rather a sing of wholeness. | |
|
| Dating Yourself Posted: 5/30/2006 3:29:43 PM | I love this thread. That is such a good idea. I am with someone right now, but I think a monthly date with myself is a great idea. WHOO thanks for the great advice.

| Dating Yourself Posted: 5/30/2006 3:42:29 PM | Nice going JBH. And some of the other posts were good as well. I'm going to "pop the question". I hope I say yes. Stay tuned. Seriously good job. | |

| Dating Yourself Posted: 5/30/2006 3:52:52 PM | This was a great post. What is funny is that my bestfriend called me the other day to see how I was doing. She asked if I am dating anyone and I jokingly had to her yep...MYSELF...but in a way I meant it. I just went through my second divorce and it has been final for a few months now. I am trying to pick up the pieces and find me...who am I...what do I want...what makes me happy....and I am learning so much it is so wonderful. On the nights that I don't date me..I go out with my other 2 favorite people in the whole world....my daughters....they make a pretty good date too! Thanks for this post as it was wonderful and really put a smile on my face and I really needed that today.  | |

| Dating Yourself Posted: 5/30/2006 4:38:58 PM | I don't understand it! I won't talk to myself after sex | |
|
| Dating Yourself Posted: 5/30/2006 5:15:58 PM | I date myself every night before I go to bed, the best thing about it is that in the morning I don't have to listen to myself **** about me not getting any
Date yourself....BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA | |
