i guess i'm not really good when people's feelings are in play. I can take a joke too far sometimes and my expectation is the fact that I didn't mean any malice behind it I think an apology should suffice but most people I find tend to not feel that way.
i'm afraid of saying what i feel sometimes due to fear of "fucking shit up"
oh and my semi-dislike/general awkwardness around pets usually causes a problem since the vast majority of people i've dated have been cat or dog owners
I sometimes bring work home, which is bad when you just spent 12 hours dealing with the family of a 17 year-old girl who is now brain dead and will probably never, ever wake up.
I can be judgmental and bossy.
i won't tolerate fools or people "off their meds."
@erica- I think I'm the complete opposite. I fall for everyone, you can easily read my emotions (knowing why I have them is another story), and I'm a hopeless flirt. These all also make me difficult.
I think my biggest problem is I can't talk about my feelings. I can talk about and generally care about YOUR feelings all day long, but when something is bothering me that I need to talk about (big or little issue) I will freeze up and cry.
I'm also plagued by a fear of "fucking shit up". Even if I think you shit rainbows I still have a hard time telling you. This gets translated into, "she's just not that into me".
@Jay- I'm a blanket stealer. I roll into them like a taco and clutch them with a death grip and not even the strongest man can get them back. It's a problem.
@-j. Seriously, boo. Do you have any idea of just how much people love you? You're a curly-haired cookie-baking letter-writing puppy-rescuing sweetheart. Deal with it.
Complete lack of respect for established dating rituals, poor small talk skills, refusal to participate in monogamous relationships. Otherwise I'm the best.
I'm pretty far into geeky/gamer territory, which irritates a lot of people I've encountered.
I tend to think I know more than I do.
I roll around a lot when I sleep as well.
My stance on a lot of day to day issues that drive people up a wall is "People are stupid, deal with it," forgetting that venting is how they're trying to deal with it.

I'm sure we've talked about something like this before, but I'm interested.
I don't fall for people very easily.
More than one person has told me I'm hard to read.
I'm not a very good flirt.
general aloofness
some level of ideceiveness
AWKWARD AWKWARD AWKWARD

I tend to never back down when I know i'm right.
i'm an unapologeticly blue leftist liberal.
i like ALOT of sex.

@twigby- Ahh, the paralyzing fear of fucking shit up. yes yes.
You guys have long lists.
I think my biggest problem is I can't talk about my feelings. I can talk about and generally care about YOUR feelings all day long, but when something is bothering me that I need to talk about (big or little issue) I will freeze up and cry.
My anxiety disorder can make me quite grumpy and non-fun. Thankfully it's not directly triggered by romantic relationships.
When it comes to sleeping together (and by that, I mean sleeping, not sex) I tend to roll around a lot in my sleep. Like, a lot.
Being married makes dating REALLY difficult :-)
I'm a huge flirt, which sometimes brings out jealousy issues.
I can be very moody. My emotions are kinda unpredictable, which I agree can get annoying.
I play devil's advocate too often, occasionally when people are just trying to vent.
I briefly considered answering with a bunch of self-loathing crap before it occurred to me that I could boil most of it down to "self-loathing" ;)
I have a short shelf life.

@-j:
URGH,
@-j: Don't be silly!
@bold as love: If someone was shitting rainbows, I think I'd be left speechless too.
@gojocelynGO!: I get that a lot ;)
@-j. Seriously, boo. Do you have any idea of just how much people love you? You're a curly-haired cookie-baking letter-writing puppy-rescuing sweetheart. Deal with it.
(@MizS: NOT THE POINT OF THIS THREAD. But thank you.)
@-j. I know. That's why I didn't speak up earlier. But since someone else mentioned it I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon.

How did I miss this thread originally? I'm completely undateable. I blame Miami.
