I think that you always tend to look for that "perfect" person of the opposite sex. If you see someone that even comes close, you are going to put them on a pedestal (after all, you only want the best for yourself). Likewise, if you have a realistic view of yourself, you are going to like yourself but be your own worst critic. (I like me, but I can always improve on the product!). I know with me, this creates a problem: I see the potential SO as flawless but I am all too aware of my flaws. I think maybe we all suffer from this at one time or another. Hang in there! - like yourself - you are your own best friend. Denise Simon, Digital Equipment Corporation, Hudson, Ma Path: <...decwrl!rhea!asylum!simon>
