Hi Amy,

FP: I am sorry that I did not noticed your response to me earlier. I was shocked at how much I really can relate to the words of your last post to me. I am wondering do you have a problem with MBTI too. What MBTI do you see yourself as? I know looking for a soul-mate who connects with you is suppose to be an NF thing. I want a play-mate/soul-mate all in one. What Enneagram type are you?


> > I haven't read the "Real Rules" book, but I read "The Rules" once as research for a story I was writing. That book is horrifying! I kept thinking, how can these women say these things?!!! Anyway, yes, being yourself is important, but do you ever feel like you're such an oddball that it would be really difficult to find someone you're truly compatible with?

> FP: Yes!!!

>
> Sometimes I wonder whether I'm being authentic or whether I'm encouraging "strangeness" in myself as a way of keeping people at a distance.

> FP: I can relate to both experiences in my own experiences!!

> It's difficult to sort it out. When I was 20 I knew a guy who seemed ideal for me. Unfortunately, he was in love with someone else at the time. I found out recently that he married someone other than the person he was in love with when he met me, and that upset me. (I'm 35.)

> FP: It can be frustrating when you can't find someone else to connect with your unique individuality!

> I haven't met any other guys who have come even close to being that ideal for me.

> FP: I can relate to that. I have no problem finding a boyfriend, but I do have a problem finding someone that I connect with that I could be free to be myself and free spirited in my uniqueness. He is out there!

> Justin (my co-worker) has potential. I haven't talked with him at length yet, but he seems to have substance. I admit that it's his physical appearance that first caught my attention. He's beautiful. We'll see.

> FP: Beauty is a gift for our eyes to enjoy that makes our minds and hearts feel asthetical good! Inner beauty is even more wonderful and thrilling to see!

> FP: I think you should be your authentic unique and individualistic self and the right guy will accept you for you, though there will be some minor struggles of course, which is part of connecting with other being humans. I have reached to the point, I would rather be single and alone then to be with someone that I don't relate to and don't accept me as I am and my inability to be mundane and ordinary. Froggy is that man who accepts me as I am and encourage him to let the world see that he is the same way because he is quite different too! Strange, and I love it!

> FP: I appreciate your post. Thanks for being uniquely you and sharing it with me. It is good to have this type of support.
