If I was being narcissistic I wouldn't be here complaining. I'd be out there trying to get attention.

Being told that I'm attractive doesn't do anything for me if my attractiveness isn't attracting anyone. I might as well be ugly.
Agreed again. Like my mom saying Jen Aniston has trouble with guys, and she's hot. But it's not the same. She can get them, but not hang on to them. However, I can't even get them. Least Jen gets up to bat before striking out. I usually stay on the bench to as Cosby says "to keep it from flying in the air when the real players go out." lol

So, having feelings and a relationship, and them dying down later isn't as self-esteem lowering as never having it in the first place. Better to have known and lost--except in case of death. But a break up, sure.

Now the one thing I will say it better alone than abusive. I would not want a partner that was abusive in any way. Verbally, emotionally, or physically. I am not that desperate.

I crave a relationship, and dating experience and attention, because I would like to marry eventually. But I will not just settle for something just so I can have it, or because I can get it.

Some guys liked me, but again, not the type I wanted, or could see anything happening with. So, no. Wasn't willing to settle for them.

My mother says I should settle. In a sense of date a guy that isn't cute if he likes me, because "sometimes you have to go through dogs to get to better ones."

Can't do that. Guy doesn't need to be a knock-out of course. But at least kind of attractive to me. I have liked guys I thought were ugly. But I got to see their personality first. I can automatically get romantic off the bat if the looks aren't there. But if I was friends with them first and got to know them, then sure. But guys run at the word "friend." So, doesn't seem possible.

1 of my infatuations, when I first saw him, I said "ew, he looks worse than his friend." After seeing his personality more, I started to say "He's kinda cute." Then it moved to very attractive, and I liked him for a few months.

You mean instead of here trying to get attention?

Some people just like to vent. And online is the best place. There's no real names, or faces. So you can still be kinda anonymous while doing it.

Okay, that's fine - just wish they would say that upfront before anyone like me wastes too much time really trying to help, when they clearly aren't interested in learning anything new.

My mother is the exact opposite, she tells me to never settle. But my mother also believes in man should like you more than you like him. I think that's a little true. There's something about a female chasing after a man that's truly pathetic. Since we're told it's easier for us to get laid, I guess it's natural for people to think we shouldn't try so hard chasing after ONE man.
