I tried doing this once. Thought it appealed to people. I just ended up losing respect for myself. I do not envy these types of people.

Thanks for your kind words and I am glad that the article helped your recognize some of the mistakes you made in the past. As I am sure you know, recognizing what you do/did wrong is the first, obvious, but necessary step to making sure you don't make the same mistakes in the future. Hi, Robert.

I tried to tell her about all the 'wonderful' qualities I had and that she and I were a well suited pair. I have come to realize that; 1) the line between confidence and cockiness is very fine and shifts from side to side depending on perspective; 2) If you have to tell someone about all your 'good qualities' rather than live them, you probably don't have them; 3) I was comparing my life to hers and felt ashamed that I had not accomplished as much with my time and didn't believe she would value me (which is asinine because I had no idea what she desired in a parter and I was using my own perceived ruler for success against me) and 4) some women (like some men)are not looking for a committed relationship at the beginning. Sometimes it's more fun to just date. Admittedly I was crushed over the rejection and subsequent loss of any possible relationship after my behavior, but I learned some valuable lessons and if I ever get the chance to speak with her I'd like to thank her for helping become a better person. But we move on. As a good friend of my said after I told him the story, "Self loathing is so unattractive. Get over it and get one with it." Thanks Arkady for helping me and the rest of us get better at relationship building. I look forward to more insightful information. -Robert This, to my shame, is exactly what I did in a vain attempt to impress a girl that I very much admired and respected.
