I don't judge. I've seen a lot, and the things I haven't, I'm always open to listening to. I want to make a difference.

15/f
Okay, i went to a party a couple weeks ago and this guy thought i was cute and i thought he was cute to. We exchanged numbers through our friends and started texting and talking to eachother and so now we are "talking." We onlysaw eachother from like 10 or 15 ft away so he might not of seen my facial features. The only bad thing is that i don't get very many boyfriends and this popular cute guy thinks i'm cute and i think once he sees me up close that he won't think i'm pretty anymore. I mean why would a cute guy like him fall for a girl like me? I mean i'm not the prettiest girl in the world but i don't think i am the ugliest either. What do i do?

This seems like a really cute way to meet, may I say first? [:
The thing is, like most girls you might not have the best perception of yourself. Most of us don't see ourselves as really pretty when most other girls/guys would say you're really gorgeous or something. Don't underestimate yourself! This situation could be proof that people see a lot more than what you might expect them to! While I'd normally say looks aren't everything, in this situation they definitely contribute to a lot. Another thing could be that he may have thought your figure was pretty nice. Who knows.
Perhaps he saw the way you were interacting or something and became interested? Try asking him why he started talking to you! Sometimes it's just a random interest, or just trying something out and seeing how it works out.
See if he's got a myspace or something of that nature, and exchange them. This could be a way to get him to see pictures of you, so it's not a shock talking in person if you look very different from far away or something.
What I'd say to do is to just try it out, though! If you've got an opportunity, you might as well go with it. You seem pretty surprised at it, but it's not exactly a bad thing. [;
Try to keep talking if YOU'RE interested, and see where it goes from there. Try hanging out in person with a group or something if you seem to like him more then.

Best of luck, and don't underestimate yourself! You caught someone's eye; Congratulations!

XOXO
