It's not like I'm ugly or anything. I've had people who've liked me in the past, but I just didn't like them then. The people I fall for give me the impression that they see my love either as a joke or they can only ever see me as a close friend, and it sucks sometimes. I'm not too picky, anyone with a genuine interest in me and who isn't needy is okay, regardless of looks or intellectual capacity. I've dated, but it's just not me. I flirt for fun, but just that. I keep my emotions to myself, mostly. And I don't understand why the people I fall for keep giving me the impression that I'm not good enough for them, when they are good enough for me. I guess what I really want to ask is: how can I find someone who will make me feel safe and accepted for who I am?
