Go on a date!
Dear Iheartsammy:
You wrote, "But the point I am trying to make is that one of the essential goals of dating is to see if your perceived good qualities are viewed as such by someone else."
I'm in I think the second stage of this online dating ritual extravaganza. I already hate my profile because it makes me sound a lot stuffier than I am. I'm not stuffy, not until I'm pushed up against a wall, at any rate. Anyhow, your comment that I quoted above stopped me dead in my tracks. And, too, what will doom or drag out a relationship until the next Doomsday, death, is the failure of the other (or both) people to see those good qualities. Few things are really more important in a relationship than being seen and being heard. Your comment, really, helped me. What I thought I'd do here on Match (stage one) is not pussyfoot around; look myself in my own mirror, and lay my cards on the table. I mean, if you don't know me, it's hard to accuse me of arrogance or even self-delusion if I confess to my being brilliant. Doesn't everybody want a brilliant girlfriend, boyfriend? In my world, yes.
