Ever get that feeling when someones just too good for you?

I keep getting told I have very low self esteem, and in a lot of respects I agree with them. But I have no question in my mind that the young lady I am chasing currently is WAY too good for me. To the point where I think she may even be playing me. I have that problem of becoming putty in a lady's hands. Movies tell me they like that, real life tells me different. Gah, terrible I tell you. Damn me and my nature! You'd think being a musician was enough, but nooooooooo, she likes FOOTBALL players. Bah, they do nothing for society! Nothing. They wouldn't have the confidence to play the game if we didn't write pump up songs like eye of the tiger! Damnit! I'm going to go get myself an eating disorder.

It might work out... It did for me.

But it probably won't work out.

Putty is a bad thing, you need to treat her like she is lucky to have you. Tell her you will call her, then wait an extra day before you call. Hey doesn't Australia have twice as many women as men. There, your odds just went up.

You need to get some action, to up your confidence level. I'm sure you have no reason not to be in her league , it's all mostly just a state of mind.

At least pick the better Rocky training montage song. It's clearly "Hearts On Fire" from Rocky IV.

DRAAAAAGOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

If she's playing you, then she's not too good for you. You're too good for her.

Perhaps you'd have more self-esteem if you chose to be around people who make you feel good about yourself.

The first I become aware of it was around Feb 2003.

If you think she's too good for you, you do need to get some self-esteem. Stop comparing yourself to everyone else and start paying attention to - and appreciating - the things that make you a unique person: 1) bass player,...(you'll need to fill in the rest. I don't know you that well.). If she doesn't like who you are, don't try to make yourself into someone else, go find someone who digs you for who you are. It's a big ocean.

Putty is spineless. Don't be putty.

And just as important, do NOT let her try to change you into something or someone you're not. You'll be miserable because you'll be admitting her that simply because she has the (*female parts*) SHE gets to make the rules. You'll also be admitting to her that anything that goes wrong, anything she doesn't like, anything that isn't to her satisfaction must therefore be your fault and she'll learn to blame you for it. No good. If she can't treat you like an equal then you don't need her. Find a woman who wants to be your partner and will treat you like an equal and then return the favor. You'll both feel good about yourselves and will be much happier together.

Wise words! The world could use more women like you, dis. You've never come across as the type to act like that.
