One time it did happen to me. Some guy I knew walked up to me and said that some girl liked me. I just called BS on it and walked away.To this day I am not sure if he was lying or not.

I would try to find out if he/she really means it.
But still wouldn't believe it ,I don't see there is anything nice about me.
It is not over criticism,it is reality.So I would maybe think that the person is lying or needs something from me.

Depends who I guess.

There is probably not enough of me for a "normal" person to like. They have fully developed adult personalities and expect the same unless they want a partner they can treat like a little girl, in which case they have a few issues, and which also doesn't fit with who I really am to what extent I am.

Apart from that there are probably things about me people could like, and things they could dislike, some of the dislikes being potential deal breakers for a large percentage of the population, lol but not necessarily all.

Because of those things I would see most adult men with an interest in me as either deluded and making up a character for me in their own heads (most common) have an unhealthy dependency need and a pathological need to choose a person who can't meet that need, or that they must be very different and not looking for something typical, and possibly a bit crazy, in which case they may be telling the truth. The last is extremely rare, and because of how psychology works, can sometimes cross over with the middle mixing good and bad in the same soup.

I guess I would be ok with being liked nowadays if it was the right person, that means ok with being liked, not interested in falling head over heels into "please walk all over mee!" cause that just isn't gonna happen lol

Right this minute I would kinda enjoy it if one of two people came out and said they liked me in that way.

How many do you want ? lol

I tend to find people keep prodding and poking me, which pushes me away. and if I do show affection or say I like them that way, in the past they've ended up hating me as a result. Showing affection gets taken as a sign of weakness and leads to negative behaviour on their part, which would discourage anyone except a person who is emotionally masochistic from showing affection. I won't say I'm not a cold bitch in some ways, but in other ways I'm actually not entirely. I actually get the message certain people have a certain amount of disdain for me if i act affectionately. I tend towards physical shows of affection when offline, if I don't feel that showing affection will end with them shoving a grenade down my throat and taping my mouth shut or something. :lol:

Heh. I think my sentence was misinterpreted. I did type exactly what I meant to type.

The problem with wanting any number is that on some level I don't want any. "Wanting" other people as a concept is weird and alien to me on some level. But hey, if someone I was relatively comfortable with already wanted me, I think I could work on becoming comfortable with that.

Hmm. You got any preconceptions of what people have to want that you expect to be forced on you?

This is why I date very needy women who are very self involved. Healthy chicks recoil when they realize how shallow my emotions are.
