Ever since about the fifth grade I have felt women do not like me. The girls always liked the other boys better. That is why I never went to dances or asked a girl on a date until I was 17. Inside I feel it is impossible for a woman to love me. They always love the other guy. Not me. This kills the hope and self-esteem.

I know I need to like myself first but if no one will love me no matter what I do or who I am, what is the point?Sad

Spencer what makes you think that noone will love you! We love you here! You are a very handsome man! I really believe that you need to practice improving your self esteem. You are a very loveable guy. Don't worry about women loving the other men. They may date another man and then coming running to you becuase he turns out to be a monster and they know you are better than that! Keep your chin up and keep smiling. you rock!!!

Spencer, echo all that April has said. Just been to a Christmas market where found an awesome book for just 50pence called,"Positive Thinking"- by Vera Peiffer. As reading this just wonder if you are the kind of man who is always helping others- outgoing yet lonely simultaneously? It says in here, in this book, that that kind of man may be lonely as he seems so confidant that he either he must not be single so why even bother flirting with him or that they will never be able to live up to your standards. Just wonder if that is why you maybe finding it difficult to find the right lady?

Here is something else want to share from this book with you Spencer.

Script

I like myself and others. I deserve the best in life and I am going out to get it. My happiness is important to me.

I create my own future. I am on my way to becoming the best possible person I can be. Everything I need for my happiness is already in me. I am complete.

I am a harmonious person. I am in harmonoy with the world around me. A great sense of serenity spreads through me and I feel calm and relaxed in everything I do.

I attract everything that is good like a bit magnet. My self confidence increases every day. I am an attractive person.

A great sense of love pervades my being. I love my life and follow my inner voice, which guides me always.

My ideal partner is already waiting for me and I will met him or her in the right place, at the right time.

Spencer, hope some of that has helped you. Keep smiling is very good advice from April. Everyone looks more attractive when they smile. Keep you head up- walk tall yet not too tall. Women are not attracted to lions or mouses so not good to be either too confident or under confident. When you achieve the balance you are super attractive!

You will be fine- trust us!

Warm wishes, Clarita Smile

Thank you Clarita. I think sometime, after my last rejection, it is important to take a personal inventory. We might not like everything we see.This can bring down the self-esteem. Hopefully this is part of the long-term building process. You might have to tear it down before you build it up.

Spencer, You are in the right place to build your self esteem up through support here as well as from reading articles placed on the forum itself or reading articles on self esteem/positive thinking on the internet or from your library or from serendipitous finds in the unlikeliest of places Wink. Go gentle on your good self. Take time out to build yourself up sure. Just because of one or two women ( the number matters not, truly) may have rejected you in past is not relevant as one day you will find a woman worthy of you/ your equal. Rejections do not define us/whom we are- if we choose to not let them define us. Failings do not make us a failure- we all mess up from time to time, so big deal. We must move on from them- give our fine selves a break. We must start to talk plus feel positively about ourself. We may have made mistakes in who we chose to fall in love with or even in our attitude/s yet we must put the past in the past. We can choose better in this present moment which will make of our present a real present/gift ensuring that our Now/future is a far happier one.

You will feel better about you. You will choose better for You.

Enjoy the journey. Aim high. The sky is your limit.

God sublimely bless you this weekend Spencer, amen! (i) Angels lift you, comfort you, give you courage, give you hope, heal you memories, keep you safe(i) may it be so ,too.

Dolphin smiles, Clarita Smile

My advice is free, completely anecdotal, and comes from my own experience. Always talk to your doctor before you change anything.
