Authentic self????

How the Hell did THAT come out???

OOPS!

Is it to late to invert the cross again?

I am 23 years-old, and recently found a job through a summer youth program. I work at a food bank. This is where I met a guy I will call "Joe." Joe and I have been flirting, but the last few days it kind of wound down. I could see it in his eyes that he was thinking about not starting a relationship with me. He told me to give it time several weeks ago, and so I figured that I was being paranoid about the look in his eyes, because I am self-conscious. I am upset because I have been very distrustful of relationships, and then I meet "Joe," who is good looking, intelligent, and nice. I have lost a lot of respect for him, as he had none for me. Instead of talking with me privately, he had a conversation with other co-workers behind my back, then had another guy "Ben" tell me that he wasn't interested in a relationship. Am I disappointed, yes; do I respect his wishes? Definately. My problem, is that either a guy flirts, but doesn't ask me out; other guys only make comments about my body, so I avoid relationships with them (most times). I haven't dated in 2 years; my last date broke up with me the day after Valentine's Day, and I have never had an actual boyfriend, though my younger sisters and brother have had long term relationships. I am wonder, what am I doing wrong? What am I supposed to do to attract a good looking, intelligent, and nice man. What is wrong with me?

I am not selling anything, nor am I working my way through college.

Now, let's get down to cases: You are a RABBIT and I am going to EAT YOU for my supper.

Now, don't try to get away.  I am faster, larger and more agile than you are; and I'm a GENIUS.

While YOU could hardly pass the entrance exam to KINDERGARTEN.  So, I'll just allow you the customary two minutes to say your prayers.

BUGS BUNNY: I'm sorry, Mac.  The lady of the house ain't home.  And besides, we mailed you people a check LAST WEEK.

Hey sunshine,

Sorry to be frank here, but HOW THE HELL CAN YOU LET YOUR HUSBAND DO THAT?

It has become painfully clear recently that I will never get married. How do I come to terms with this? I've always been independent so managing finances and things of that sort are no problem. I just want to love someone. (but I'd rather be alone than w/ the wrong person. I don't wan to cringe every time I hear his key in the door, and that is just what I will do  if I end up 'settling.' )  I'm so nurturing and I love doing things for who ever I'm in a relationship with.  I'm no super model, but I look ok. (127 pounds, 5'2)

I guess thats beside the point. The fact is that I have become an old maid and I need to know how to accept that.
