Would you date you?

Not a TAAT but this was asked in another thread.

It’s got me thinking.

I wouldn’t date me. I’m far too antisocial, busy doing my own thing, staring at screens, running around after my kids, being stressed.

I’m not sure whether I’m interested in getting into another relationship anyway, but right now I don’t think I’m an appealing prospect anyway.

You?

Nope! I'm far too lazy and moody - I also have 4 kids 😳😂

BlueJag · 30/12/2020 16:22

I would. I'm a catch. Smile

Seafog · 30/12/2020 16:24

I'm married, and have been for decades, so it is weird to think about dating.
I would date who I am now, but not who I was before this relationship.
I had a huge amount of untreated MH issues, and insecurity, that I have now sorted, but back then I was a handful, and I am glad my DH stuck around as I got help, so he could also see the better version of me.

annabellacomestotea · 30/12/2020 16:27

I think I'm pretty cool.

I'm funny, kind, love animals, educated, good with money, I've travelled a lot, am curious and playful, but I have my issues too, who doesn't? I think I'd give me a shot :)

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 30/12/2020 16:32

If I cooked a meal for myself I'd propose 😁

firsttimedad79 · 30/12/2020 16:33

Definitely not. Spend too long at work and am pretty boring when at home :(

Being away in a wagon all week gets you used to being alone and not talking to people and this tends to carry on into the weekend.

Shesheadingonin · 30/12/2020 16:39

This is such a great question. I absolutely would date myself because I know my intentions are mainly good (not always, I’m far from perfect) and I’m always trying to self improve. When I care for someone, I love to spoil them with kindness.

christmascarly · 30/12/2020 16:46

Without wanting to sound like a giant narcissist, I'd quite like to meet the male version of me. We'd get stuff done, have fun exploring and be a shit hot team. Grin

howdoyouknow123 · 30/12/2020 16:50

Such a great question, I probably wouldn't date me. I'm too busy and tired running after kids, working and studying.

Having said that, I am really lonely, I think the right person would help me shine and vice versa.

WishingHopingThinkingPraying · 30/12/2020 16:51

I'd date me cos I know I'd always look after me to the best of my ability.

Superstardjs · 30/12/2020 16:54

No. I am too independent, not interested in meeting the emotional needs of another adult on a daily basis and fucking hate sharing my bed. And I don't do texting or phone calls or sitting next to people on my sofa. I don't have barriers up, I have an electrified barbed wire fence, so am not in anyway dateable.

annabellacomestotea · 30/12/2020 16:59

Love the women here who would date themselves. It's not narcissistic, it's noticing the good in you :)

EssentialHummus · 30/12/2020 17:05

I don't think so but I'd love to be friends with me. I'm incredibly loyal and giving. Relationship-wise I'm a bit too myopic for my liking!

VaggieMight · 30/12/2020 17:06

Yes. I love doing all the things I do Grin

NomadNoMore · 30/12/2020 17:07

@Superstardjs we sound like we're made for each other Grin

Chimeraforce · 30/12/2020 17:07

No.

User8673342566 · 30/12/2020 17:13

I would date me. I know I'm honest and genuine. I'm insecure but not overly difficult, and I care about people. I'm intelligent enough to have a conversation and I am interested in others. I'm pretty, if a little bit round ( I am overweight, about two stone and I need to sort it), although I do have an hourglass figure and I like my skin. I'm creative and I always like doing things. Although I can work hard or I can be lazy. I'm far from perfect but I think someone would be lucky to have me. ( I'm happily married and have been for a long time). If I could wish for one thing it's that every woman saw their absolute worth.

WarmestRoomInTheHouse · 30/12/2020 17:14

I probably would.

No one else wants to so I might as well...

OhSweetNuthin · 30/12/2020 17:15

Hell yes! I'm lovely 😊

Kittytheteapot · 30/12/2020 17:17

No. I am honest, sincere, witty, reliable, and intelligent, all of which is great, but my god, I am hugely difficult to live with (always have been) and right now, I have some issues and moan constantly.

IronNeonClasp · 30/12/2020 17:19

@VaggieMight Grin

HmmSureJan · 30/12/2020 17:20
Grin

Absolutely not.

79andnotout · 30/12/2020 17:23

I'd date the version of me that makes an effort - the first six months me. The long term relationship me would grate on me!

If my DP and I split up I don't think I'd bother again. My dogs would make me happy enough. And they love all versions of me :)

chuffedasbuttons · 30/12/2020 17:23

I would totally date me.
I'm happy, pretty, smart, thoughtful and funny. My kids are fabulous.

I think I will have to date myself cause I can't find a decent enough man to step up to the plate.

IdblowJonSnow · 30/12/2020 17:24

Yes, I would date me! However I would never live with me!! I'm too inflexible and love my own space too much.
