What is something about you that tends to be a roadblock for others wanting to date you? Children? Occupation? Illness or disability? Or something else?

Mine are the fact that I have Lupus and some of my religious/spiritual beliefs. Mostly the latter.

What is something about you that tends to be a roadblock for others wanting to date you? Children? Occupation? Illness or disability? Or something else? 2 things come to mind. I'm fat. I have a child with disabilities. The thing that had hindered me most in the past really though was my own mental roadblocks, like trust issues and letting go of some of my independence. It's still causing some "discussions" in my relationship now. It's truly hard to give up trust after a serious emotional scarring. I have to work hard at it every day...getting over my own emotional crap.

I just intimidate men sometimes becuz I am a very confident woman & have high self-esteem, am educated and successful in the corporate world. I figure if they can't man up then it's not to be anyway

I am not sure, I thought for a long time it was my special needs child. But lately I am wondering if I am just destined to be single.

I don't mean to suggest that any of these things are impossible to overcome or that they should be seen as a negative in your life or personality. Just to clarify.

Sounds like you're working your way out of that trap.

I just intimidate men sometimes becuz I am a very confident woman & have high self-esteem, am educated and successful in the corporate world. I figure if they can't man up then it's not to be anyway I can imagine. Being highly successful in your career is one I hadn't thought of.

Major trust issues...

My "blocks" are many. Age, wieght, lack of "beauty", location, intolerance for drugs, intolerance for heavy drinking, intolerance for violence, greed, liars, apathy,laziness & idiots. Hmmmmm That covers intolerance for just about everyone. Maybe I'm just a picky *****.

I have been thinking about that a lot lately. Trying to decide how I really feel about being single for the rest of my life. I could sit here and say yes and pretend its okay. But honestly, I really miss having someone special in my life. But since I cannot rush a relationship and learned to NOT jump into anything too quickly I'll just be happy and content being single, for now anyway.

Have to go with the trust issues card. Hide myself behind my sense of humor and don't let many people in.
