wow this looks really cool, and, speaking just about my own personal hangups, i would be very uncomfortable attempting to write a similar "date me" page for myself 😬 v v uncomfortable with describing myself, esp. as having positive qualities

Oh man, @uncatherio's Date Me website is so excellent. I love this genre of thing: people putting themselves out there, saying clearly and publicly that they want a partner, and knowing who they are and what they're looking for. paper.dropbox.com/doc/catherios-

not because i think i only have negative qualities - it's more like i don't want to make promises i can't keep eg "QC is friendly" idk most of the time, not always? is that a thing i can say and feel 100% comfortable i mean it? i certainly can't promise it

the main thing i can think of to write that would *not* feel like making a promise i can't keep is to tell stories about myself that i feel like reveal something about my character - those stories definitely happened, at least? idk
