Your situation is definitely one I&amp;#39;ve had to deal with myself:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;m wondering, do you have any close male friends that you could talk to about this?  Maybe ask them how you come across to them and what you could do differently.  Not so much to change who you are, but to come across in a way that&amp;#39;s still confident but not as intimidating to others?  Sometimes we&amp;#39;re doing things with our body language that we don&amp;#39;t even realize we&amp;#39;re doing, and close friends can help point those things out to us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are definitely on the right path, though!  You shouldn&amp;#39;t have to change anything about yourself in order to attract your perfect mate.  In fact, your perfect mate will accept you exactly as you are and even *love* those things about you that others might have rejected.  That&amp;#39;s great news, isn&amp;#39;t it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lots of love to you!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6420983000885677591/2215098319302844078/comments/default/8137806381519778245'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6420983000885677591/2215098319302844078/comments/default/8137806381519778245'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.selfhelpgoddess.com/2010/03/finding-hidden-benefits.html?showComment=1268934336179#c8137806381519778245' title=''/><author><name>Self Help Goddess</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17743955832663988451</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mRLKbwfvLXI/SeKGE4xcMvI/AAAAAAAAACM/EUFIuLjUYlQ/S220/MaryandLemita-1.JPG'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://blog.selfhelpgoddess.com/2010/03/finding-hidden-benefits.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6420983000885677591.post-2215098319302844078' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6420983000885677591/posts/default/2215098319302844078' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-2056303043'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6420983000885677591.post-2878939135826389596</id><published>2010-03-18T10:41:30.065-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-18T10:41:30.065-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hi Greg!

As always thanks for stopping by and commenting:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, I so agree with you: it *is* often difficult for us to determine what we really want in life!  We might say we want one thing, when deep down it&amp;#39;s really somthing else we want.  And then we wonder why we&amp;#39;re not getting the results we&amp;#39;re after!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;ve actually recently started paying a LOT of attention to what my underlying wants and desires are.  Sometimes if we target our very basic wants, we can do away with a lot of the other &amp;quot;surface&amp;quot; wants and life flows a lot more smoothly.

Or at least I know this has been true with me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While we are often right about what we want, there are also times when the fantasy is much better than the reality.  Your example of wanting to be in a relationship is a classic one.  Like you said, you actually might want freedom even more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This exercise is a really good way of putting the fantasy in our minds to the test!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6420983000885677591/2215098319302844078/comments/default/4091514235983506290'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6420983000885677591/2215098319302844078/comments/default/4091514235983506290'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.selfhelpgoddess.com/2010/03/finding-hidden-benefits.html?showComment=1268336600657#c4091514235983506290' title=''/><author><name>Greg Blencoe</name><uri>http://www.positivewavesbaby.com</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://blog.selfhelpgoddess.com/2010/03/finding-hidden-benefits.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6420983000885677591.post-2215098319302844078' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6420983000885677591/posts/default/2215098319302844078' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1372618491'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6420983000885677591.post-6400311744320976486</id><published>2010-03-08T18:16:41.082-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-08T18:16:41.082-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Hi Mary,

It really does seem true that we cannot move away from something until we find a way to love it... or at least really appreciate it&amp;#39;s positive aspects.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;ve definitely found this to be the case in manifesting what I want.  It totally jives with the idea of &amp;quot;what you resist persists.&amp;quot; And when we release resistance about something it can more quickly and easily shift to the new thing we want to experience.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love the fact that we can find a way to appreciate anything if we see it in a certain light or from a different perspective.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Much Love,&lt;br /&gt;Adrianne</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6420983000885677591/2215098319302844078/comments/default/6400311744320976486'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6420983000885677591/2215098319302844078/comments/default/6400311744320976486'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.selfhelpgoddess.com/2010/03/finding-hidden-benefits.html?showComment=1268101001082#c6400311744320976486' title=''/><author><name>Adrianne</name><uri>http://understand-and-use-law-of-attraction.com</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://blog.selfhelpgoddess.com/2010/03/finding-hidden-benefits.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6420983000885677591.post-2215098319302844078' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6420983000885677591/posts/default/2215098319302844078' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-215155463'/></entry></feed>
