angelikaJ: Thank you for clarifying. I was misunderstanding the question. I really do appreciate all of you for helping me to look deep within myself. RedMagic1: Somehow I do feel put on the spot here because I'm the only one that is answering this very personal question, and yet, I started this post, so I will answer as honestly as I can, for I am truly trying my best to understand myself and others. Although I am still working on self-improvement, as we all are, I would say that I am very likable. The reason I know this is that I get feedback from people in my workplace, my siblings, my friends who tell me how much they appreciate me as an Aunt, friend, co-worker, sister, and yes even past lovers. I know my strong points. I like my smile and others tell me so. It feels so good to be in a good mood and show it and laugh at myself and tease others and find humor in the irony of life. I am compassionate -- I feel deeply and empathize with others who have struggled as I have. I go that extra mile to do my best performance on the job. I know what my limits are and am learning to say no in many areas of my life. I pay attention and actively listen to people. I make good eye contact. I adore even the oddities and quirks of people who are different than me. But there's nothing wrong with knowing what my preferences are and what I aim for. I belong to myself. Who can say "oh, you are wrong or bad for preferring your favorite color to be purple or your favorite food to be Mexican food?" Those are some of my favorites and then a whole bunch more, including my favorite fetishes and fantasies yet be explored. So, in short, I do like who I am and not afraid to show the real me, but the revealing comes out in bits in pieces as I learn to trust over time. So, yes, I would say I'm a good catch also, and I'm looking for that One Special Man that is looking for ME, and it's like finding a needle in a haystack. But I won't settle for anything less, as I would not expect him to either. I have made many mistakes and I'll make more, but in my deepest being, I know I can and am fun, lovable, cherished and deserving of what my future partner is seeking in Me. I am very much a work in progress, and I also have my bad days, and on those days, I do my best to let my closest ones know that I'm just not feeling well, for I do not want to take out my frustrations on anyone. I realize too that that great guy (that catch) is also human and has His off days also. I might not be totally ready, but I do believe that he would find me likeable on a more consistent basis than not. ~daydreaming of my future partner who I have yet to meet~
