At Least They're Committed

Many times a day I feel like yelling, “I was attractive once!” But since Kevin pointed out to me that self-deprecation doesn’t suit me and that I should know full well that I am still attractive, I’ve been far more careful of blurting out such things. In fact, when someone now looks for affirmation from me in such a way I often consider pointing out that rather than having them say, “Yes, I was cute once,” which is, of course, my cue to say, “You still are,” it would be more direct and not unreasonable for said person to simply ask, “Do you find me attractive?” And I would either say, “Why, yes,” which means, well, yes, or “These points about you make you an attractive person,” which would in fact mean, someone might, but not me. Having said that I should note that I’m not naive enough to think that would be less awkward, but that I think it’s worth a shot.
