In my situation, my self esteem is good. I know that I am a good
person. I have a lot to offer. I have a good sense of humor and one
about being in a wheelchair. I don't show that anything lets me down when
I am around people. I have even rolled up to guys when I'm out and
complimented them on something (smile, eyes, etc.) I have no issues with
flirting, it just doesn't go anywhere. When I compliment them they say
thank you and that's that.

Frustration/sensitive
Thats a good introspective concern! I had not really
thought of it in that
way--at least not to that extent. I know my
self asteem is not that good,
my eye contact either. I need to
re-learn how to flirt! I used to be very
good at it. A glass
or 2 of wine or a drink will loosen me up, make me
talk more and
flirt. But I don't hang out in bars or know anyone that does,
well I
do have one attendant.......hmmm.
There is no magic pill. I think
it "might" be neat to do one of those
dating classes--speed dating I think
its called? They probably cost too
much. They say to go to
places you like to do and there might be a single
there that likes the
same thing, thus there is a commonality already.
Running out of
response.--
:>:D
take
care,
Dana and ?

Stacy,
I�m not thinking that it�s really
that difficult 2 find a person that�ll be
there in a meaningful
relationship. I have some problems but some of them
it�s more me than them.
So don�t think that I�m going against anything I�ve
said. But I know that a
big part of not having someone is my doing... It
could also be others now
sometimez we have 2 step back (ROLL BACK) and look
at ourselves in the
mirror. Would I want 2 be with me if the circumstances
were
reversed?
