Would you date yourself?

[numbda]

No. I neglect myself often

 

[Ashu]

In a heartbeat. Totally my kinda gal. Major advantage: she'll already be taking care of destroying herself, so I won't get manipulated into doing it for her.

 

[blank_slab]

Funny enough i think i probably would i'm not the ugliest dude (definitely not the most handsome either lol) but i think if i dated myself we would know the perfect ways to amp eachother up for all the small things we didn't want to do but sadly we would probably both be horrible at comforting eachother so yeah that wouldn't be fun

 

[GenesAndEnvironment]

I'd have a napkin's chance in my basement of not simping into the pavement at first sight. Rejection to follow.

 

[unnormal9]

oh yeah.

cause no one else would.

 

[sickbeyondmeasure]

Yes, I would date myself, presuming I was a woman.

 

[BetweenRadioStations]

That's a great question! I'm not sure really. I think the empathetic side of me would feel sorry and compassionate for me. Plus, I know I'm a very loyal and loving person. I get really annoyed and frustrated with myself though- so- that would be worse if it was directed at someone else. I don't think we'd be at all good for one another. We would likely just spiral further together into melencholly depression and CTB together.

That's a very objective response.

 

[Little_Suzy]

NOPE! I only date normal, overachievers who are not suffering from a mental illness. Only one of us can be insane, therefore I win by default! God bless my, husband!

 

[UsagiDrop]

I would definitely date me but the real question would be whether or not that's a good idea, lol.

 

[jonghyun]

In terms of looks and personality, yes. In terms of brain and baggage... ... well.....

 

[Velvet Fortress]

Fuck no

 

[leloyon]

I'm not sure whether I would be repulsed by myself or settle with myself due to the fact that misery loves company.

 

[UninformedLover]

LMFAO NO!! I'm an awful person and kinda ugly too.

 

[juxtajuno]

absolutely not. i think being in a romantic relationship with me is a fate worse than death for anyone

 

[cgrtt.brns]

i feel like i would as a last resort. even tho i hate myself, i wonder if seeing me as another person would be different. whether i just hate myself bc i have to live inside my own head all the time, or i am genuinely just the kind of person i dont like. physical attraction wise, i hate the way i look, but again idk if its just because its me and body dysmorphia or if im objectively unattractive according to my standards. i think id want to hang out with myself, bc id be able to enjoy silence without fear of it being awkward, and wed be able to do things we both enjoy. then again, i wouldnt be able to have interesting conversations bc id already know what i was going to say and it wouldnt give me a new perspective. itd get boring quickly i think. i overthink a lot too so wed probably start spiraling into negative thoughts, and wed probably be very negative influences on eachother, however i wonder if it being another person i would realise certain things are negative and advise against them. i think im just too unpredictable to be around, sometimes i can be affectionate and talkative, and other times i can be very cold and isolated.

 

[Float On Okay]

No, unless I want to torture myself. I don't know why anyone would like to be with someone who needs so much work just to be functional and rarely gives anything in return.

 

[silence of death]

i'm a ball of anxiety, i find it very difficult to talk and open to people so i guess i just couldn't, i don't think i'm ugly tho that's something

 

[Stripe19]

Yes, if for few other reasons than the company and to learn. I know it is not healthy but i lack good alternatives, i tend to super analyze myself and view myself like a machine.
It would probably end up like crap, but i would know *why*. I would be able to see the flaws from both sides and piece together what occurs and make adjustments.
That said, i would not doubt if it also turns into a toxic but ongoing thing since i am often extremely obsessed with my partners and have immense patience simply because of having someone to love.

 

[simplymiserable]

no because my genes are messed up

 

[sick.faery]

if i was a guy, maybe but just very shortly. im not real real relationship material. am a walking red flag, but on the short terms that would be one of the reasons i'd date myself lol

 

[quietly_gone]

even if im suicidal and have gave up on many things in life, if there's one thing i am confident about myself is that i love people in the right way. like that one post that goes, "the only reason i believe in love is because of the way that i love". so yeah, maybe. there's still a lot of other red flags to work in lmao since love isn't the only thing necessary to make a relationship work, but. maybe. a mostly positive answer.

 

[macrocosm]

I would not because I'm still at the red-flag phase of my recovery journey. What about you???

I would because I'm emotionally unavailable and want that in a partner

 

[BruhXDDDDD]

idk it would feel too similar to incest to me lol. if they had my mind in a totally different body then i think so

 

[ForgottenTomb]

Egotistical answer, but yes. I am admittedly a very boring conversationalist, but I am patient with such people so for both of us that won't be a problem. And since we have the same interests, I would love to listen to music together and have peaceful walks together.

If that were to really happen though, I would not date myself because that would be like dating your twin sibling.

 

[Tortured_empath]

Not by a mile, sadly, lol

 

[telro]

This is an easy one for me because I don't date, so no

 

[I_want_to_sleep]

Only if she'd help me CTB

 

[LONE WOLF.]

Not a chance, l'm a hairy weirdo who keeps very strange hour's and poops in the wood's!

 

[NBL313]

I don't like myself as myself. If I had a yelp page I would probably have zero stars from prior relationships. So no.. probably not.

 

[chloramine]

I'd probably be willing to try? Having someone who understands that deeply could be very good. I'd be just as happy being friends though.
