Would you DATE yourself?

I must say I would definitely date myself, but that's because I am such a perfectionist. I must say that I would love to find a man who has the same beliefs, as far as honesty and doing unto others, as I do. But you are right, opposites do seem to attract. I guess that is my biggest problem with relationships.

When I dated my ex husband (notice the "ex") I thought it was so great that he was different. I thought he would help me because we were not alike. He was a loud mouth , very opinionated, and demanding. I was shy, quiet and willing to listen to different views. While I finally divorced him for some of those reasons I also dated a guy who agreed with everything I said. Talk about driving me nuts. I soon began to say and do thing just the opposite and he still agreed with me! I think we need to find common interests but maintain our own identity. Different views make for good discussions if handled right.

OMG....Never!I am too much of a (w)itch....change the letter in brackets....LOL....I am picky about everything and have no patience.....I would NEVER date myself....

I might not date myself, but I would want to date someone with the same interests. I know I would not like to date someone who wasn't interested in the same things I am. I wouldn't want to date a NASCAR fan, or a rabid football fan, because I don't like those things. I would, and have, dated other science fiction fans, but I've found most of them have some kind of issue going on that make them, at my age, still be single.

I would but whether we become best of friends or progress further would depend on many other factors. It is definitely easier to get along with someone who is like ourselves but is it the best combination? What if both are equally aggressive or passive. It is still better to date someone of similar interests but perhaps not identical attributes.

Uhm..thats a tough question. I would date myself for certain qualities but there are other things about me that I deffinately dont like that I wouldnt be able to handle in my partner.

To date someone just like me would probably be good for only a short time. I think it is better when we are not exactly alike because it adds another dimension to our lives.

haha what a fab question. i reckon i would date me. i'm quite considerate and always admit when i'm wrong in an argument but i like to get my own way a lot of the time (but who doesn't) but i'm upfront about that. i'm also a dedicated mum and always put my kids first. i think its important to have similar views on stuff with your partner so at least i'd always agree with myself

Yes, I think it would be easier to get along with someone who's similar to me. Even if she doesn't agree with my beliefs, as long as she respects it. Although, I am the shy and quiet type, so I'm usually attracted to women that are talkative. It might be a boring date if both us were quiet!

I would date myself if I wanted to spend a nice quiet evening at home watching a movie and eating a nice dinner. If I wanted some excitement I sure wouldn't be dating me I am one of the most boring people I know! No I would have to date someone else for sure!

I think the more a person has similarities and interests similar to your own, the better the relationship....they say that opposites attract..uh--beg to differ...I can only relate this as being true with my mother...talk about opposites and we were quite literally always at each others throats...Since I'm an artist, photographer, writer, etc..I think I would relate so much better with a fellow creative person such as myself---yes I would date me...LOL

yes i think i usually do it. when i'm feeling lonely i go out for a long drive alone towards coountry side with high music and dancing over the beats. it sreally nice to date urdelf. yeah i hate some of my habbits like smokin but can't quit it, tried hard but failed!

That is a good question! No I would not date myself lol, sad to say but I am very good and want alot of attention, I can have an attitude when I know i'm disliked I don't bow down to people to try to make them like me, you either like me or you don't lol

I think I probably would. I mean, who wouldn't date me? LOL! Kidding aside, I really would date or someone identical to me, but it probably won't be a lasting relationship, because I might get bored in the long run. I think it's actually healthy to be with someone who is different from you, it'll make you see the world in a different way.

As long as it didn't mean moving in with me LOL! That's where I'd draw the line, yes I would date myself, because I have a lot of attractive qualities and I love my sense of humour, my sensitivity and my caring and patient attitude, I also love my ability to listen to others and to be passionate, romantic and warm. But I am the worst person to live with!

What a thought-provoking, insightful question! (great big positive for you by the way!) To answer your question, yes, I would date me! I actually have the same qualities that I look for in others...a zest for life, fun-loving, positive attitude, and open-minded. I am a loyal, trustworthy friend and am very affectionante. Just the qualities I looked for (and FINALLY found) in a man! So yes, I would date me!

Hi Texasclassygal, Now why would I want to date an ugly person like me. lol. I suppose if I was desperate enough I would date someone like me. Like someone else said, I dont really know what my wife sees in me. I think a certain amount of simalarities would be great but I think there has to be a few differences also. If two people are too much alike, they wont have much to talk about. I think life would almost be too peaceful-if that makes any sence. I dont think I would like a complete opposite, but I wouldnt like someone exactly like myself either. Take care, Terry

I haven't thought about this my entire life, that's why this discussion catches my attention.. hehe I think I probably would date myself if I have the same thought as my bf about me.. We're not totally opposite, we do have some things in common that would really make us get along well together.. I think it's how we would handle ourselves that would make us decide to date ourselves or not..

You have me thinking. I don't think I really like myself very much right now. So I probably wouldn't be a very fun person to date. I've gained weight and haven't taken as good of care of myself as I should have. I think that is a very good goal - to make ourselves someone we would like to date. I think I like someone who is a little different from me. Just to keep things from being boring. If we always agreed on everything we wouldn't have much to discuss.

haha... great question. Honestly, probably not! I would probably drive myself absoultely nuts. Arguments would never end since I (and the 'I' I am dating) would always want to win and would always want the the last word!
