Yes you were definitely helpful golden_eve! Those were some of the nicest words ever! You are so encouraging! I do agree with you about hanging with the wrong group; a lot of my self-esteem issues that came up within the past year originated in my previous friend group. They were quite not only uninterested in dating, but were also quite manipulative. I'm already making some changes in my life, including the people I hang out with so maybe that will make things all the better! Thanks so much again!
