When you are starting to date someone...

Do you think of what you may offer them? I get panicked because I fear my anxiety (generalized) will be a deal breaker for them in the short run. I overlook the traits I DO have or offer. But I overlook them because then I feel arrogant if I say to myself, I can offer this or that ( patience, compassion etc) Do you ever ponder these issues while looking for love? Does acknowledging your traits make you feel confident?

I worry some of my quirks will turn them away.

My apartment is a little cluttered, as well as my mind at times.

I never answer my phone. Instead, I let people leave a message and then call back.

I am usually only in my underwear when at home.

Etc.
