I call it baggage for lack of a better word. Before I go further, let me say that I am a decent person, have a good sense of humor, am reasonably intelligent, educated, my face doesn't melt paint off of walls and I'm kind to a fault. That being said, I have quite a bit of baggage that someone would need to get over. Such as having had a gastric bypass. Such as still being too heavy. Such as mental health issues that are almost but not quite under control. A job I cannot stand that makes me feel incompetent all day long every day.

I am not looking for Mr. Perfect. I'm looking for a nice man, relatively intelligent, has a job and is responsible and who thinks I might be worth the work that I might turn out to be. I think theres is enough good in me that the difficult might be minimized, but seriously (especially men), do I simply have too much baggage? I just want some serious companionship. I love sports and sex and kayaking, golf, canoeing, and all that outside stuff many guys like. Is there even a chance for me? I'm not really dating right now as I'm trying to get my meds and health under control, but I often wonder if there's any point at all.If I'm going to end up alone, why go through the agony of repeated rejections?
