Most of us know people that are actually in love with themselves and think they're the "cats meow". I even saw an episode on Dr. Phil where one guy couldn't stop looking in the mirror and checking himself out. It was causing him huge relationship problems with his wife. I also saw a video clip of Paris Hilton who would walk anywhere on the streets and go straight to the nearest mirror or window that would show her reflection in it. It was a bit sickening how obsessed one person could be and I know Paris isn't the only one guilty of this act.
As I began to notice that some of us may perhaps be in love with ourselves a little too much I began to wonder if I in fact would even date myself. Sure that probably sounds a bit silly but seriously, would you take yourself out for a date? I mean sure some of us have days where we pamper ourselves with manicures or a little shopping spree, but if there was another one of you, perhaps in the opposite sex, would you in fact be your own perfect match? When I had first thought about this, I told myself "yeah why wouldn't I date me?" but when I really thought about it and thought of the negative things I see in myself, I wasn't so certain that I would. Sure I think I'm cute, fun, artistic and so forth, but I started wondering if the negative things I saw about myself outweighed the positives.
I even had a girlfriend that joined one of those online dating sites, I'm sure many of you know about those. Well my friend told me that after she had filled out hundreds of questions giving her honest answers and was ready to see who she matched with from her answers...she claims the dating website told her she wouldn't match with anyone. First off I find it hard to believe that a dating site is unable to at least give you a few people to date, but I suppose it's very possible that she did get those as her results. I mean some of us meet "the one" and for some they have several soul mates throughout their lives but not everyone finds a soul mate. Perhaps I don't have a soul mate either but, "what doesn't kill me will only make me stronger".
