The reason this thread is here in hopes for some of the ones that are not ready would read it. If you not ready then why put otheres through the hell if you were to say of getting close to you. Take your time learning how to make friends and being comfortable with yourself.

One thing I do see out of a lot of my friends is that you guys do have a lot to offer, it's just wating for the right person to see it:wink:

Well, I don't know about anyone else but a dust bunny beats a lint ball anyday. But, Tomb does have the McD's coupons and 6 cents as well. Hmmm, decisions, decisions laugh laugh laugh

I just checked in my truck, I can add two cents, an old lifesaver, three fencing staples and a buy one get one free small fries at Burger King. I have an empty Coke bottle too if that helps sway anybodies mind.

The first time in probably 5 years a thread that has actualy sparked thought in my head. This may be a little long and jumpy but here goes.

Ill start with a little bit of my past. I broke up with my ex-girlfriend about 4 years ago. Depression kicked in big time, almost immediatly I lost my job of 9 years. Within a years time I began to drink, looking back not the best idea. I had never touched a drink before this, Ive known my whole life I was an alcholic and chose to stay away.

Mardi Gras came and she stood me up. After that day there wasnt a day that whole year where I wasnt in the bar getting ****ed up. It took exactly that long for me to go through three jobs, my jeep and my house. All of which could have been saved if I had cared enough to do so.

This past summer I spent 3 days in a mental institution after being commited for suicidal/homicidal behavior. I tried taking a gun from a cop, and told him to just shoot me when I failed. My blood alcohol level was .183 which was taken about 3-5 hours after I was admited.

Currently Ive had one drink this year, was hoping to stop but honestly it doesnt look like that will happen. Her birthday is this comming saturday, and she wants me to come out for a drink. Im an apprentice finisher currently looking for work. The last job I walked out on, with good reason.

So now Ill answer the question at hand, "What do you really have to offer"

I can offer an understanding ear, a forgivefull heart. I can offer my humour and with it a life time of laughs. I can offer helpfull advice. I can offer help in your time of need. In a nutshell I can offer my friendship.

But in my opinion the question itself is flawed. It shouldnt be What do you really have to offer. But instead the question should be What are you willing to accept. You can offer someone the world, but it means nothing if there not willing to accept it from you.

Its hard when youve lost your hopes and dreams, its even harder when it seems to happen overnight. It just makes it worse when you refuse to reach out for help when you need it the most.

And to answer my question, the truth is I dont know what Im willing to accept. I guess Ill have to figure that out when I get there, such is life...

Still waiting to get my next tattoo

Love is...

You know, I actually thought about this when I made my profile on JSH. I thought, "If I met someone on here that I really, really liked, then what in the world could I offer her?".

I am divorced, and have put that behind me now. I had to find myself again once I came out of the funk that a divorce can put you through. Now, I am my silly, goofy, dorky, friendly self again...and I feel that I have a lot to offer someone. Boils down to me being just "ME". I won't change for someone, and I won't lie to make myself look so appealing to someone. What you see is what you get. :wink:

Wow, that's so amazingly honest and out there, thank you for sharing that. And, I think both questions ARE valid, because you are right, if anyone chooses to be with someone who cannot accept what is offered, then that's just as heartbreaking as being with someone who cannot give.

Until we are ready to do both, I think it's just better to figure out who we are, how we got to who we are and where we want to go from here.

what in the world makes someone not accept what you can offer then? i mean, you can offer all your good qualities, and they can like you for it..but when it comes down to it...they throw it back at you

can ya still offer those same qualities 100% after that?

or do you see it as "it's their loss"??

Some people are always looking for something better or at least they think they are.

Yes because I don't change who I am for no one. Just because i have had hard times in my life, it don't change the way I think and should have to offer someone.

I can't really answer that question for you 100%, but some people for whatever reason don't believe they are worthy of love, or respect or kindness, or they've become so distrustful that they look at someone offering love as a "they must want something from me but they don't really mean it" kind of thing. I don't really know why or where it comes from but I have dated a few men like that. They may have a million wonderful qualities but that's something that can make a relationship very difficult.
