		<description>Aw! I am feeling the same way. It&#039;s exhausting being single and sometimes a good cry IS in order.  How sexy is a man who can speak english? I just had to delete a contact on the dating site I&#039;m on because I was so annoyed at his use of &quot;kool&quot; I know that seems petty and childish - but you can&#039;t trust a person that says &quot;kool.&quot; </description>

		<description>I do the same thing. Put a farmer with a pickup truck in front of me and suddenly I think that just because he stops in his tractor to talk to me about anything under the sun, it means that he loves me and wants me to have his babies. Farmer babies, with John Deere hats and a love of backyard fires and four wheel drive.  Oh, how I would love those little farmer babies.  
 
I think you should go ahead and weep with abandon. I do it frequently. I plan out my weeping, like, I&#039;ve had a bad day, nobody loves me, and I DESERVE TO LIE IN MY FLANNEL JAMMIES AND WEEP.  
 
And after you&#039;re done weeping, and you&#039;ve put your pillow case in the wash because that much weeping surely warrants washing, you should call me and we should have dinner and laugh about our weeping.  
 
No matter what you say about yourself, no matter how much you brush me off, I firmly believe and I will continue to say that you WILL FIND the person who you will love and who will love you as much as you deserve to be loved.  
 
That&#039;s just how great you are. </description>

		<description>I used to think I had to lose weight to get guys to want to date me, too. And I then I was lucky enough to find someone who wanted to be with me even though I was fat. And I think you should be able to find someone like that too. But I can totally understand why you feel like you need to lose weight first. It certainly would make things a lot easier. </description>

		<description>Sometimes a good cry is what you need to feel better. I like what you said about the losing weight be for YOU. And only. Love yourself first, everyone else comes second. </description>

		<description>I don&#039;t know how to console you so I will only say, you are not alone in these feelings. A lot of people go through them and deal. All I can say is that if you keep yourself busy and do things for yourself, I am sure what you need will just happen. Have a good cry if need be, wipe your tears and move on. I am sure everyone goes through periods of feeling down. I know I do. </description>
