While my self esteem wasn't "horrible", it pretty much kept me from dating until I met Sycamore. (and yes, I just put myself out there). I knew that I couldn't possibly be in a relationship while my esteem was where it was, so I chose to not date or get tangled up in any sort of relationship until I could "get right" with myself. I figured that it wasn't worth the potential heartache and I had seen plenty of my female friends going through bad situations because of their self esteem issues. Quite honestly, I wanted to get it right the first time.
