i have had braces for three years and im still going to have them a year and a half longer.
so, the problem is, every time i meet a guy, a good looking one that i like, i immediately just assume that he is soooo "out of my league." and it basicly all boils down to the fact that i have braces. i just feel like he'll look at me and feel like "i could never kiss her!" im very self concious about them. and the weird thing is, i like my body, i like my personality, i like my skin, my hair, all that stuff. i am confident that i am very friendly and like-able. its just that when im in a public place, and i want to talk to a hot guy i see, i feel like theres no way that he'll have the same feeling of seeing a pretty girl when he sees me- just because i have braces.
so i feel like i always have to hook people with my personality, or by being funny, which is fine, since its good that i just want to be myself and not be popular because im good looking. but i cant help but feel jealous of the girls who can grab hot guys just because they're a hot girl.

You can't help it that you have braces I wear
braces to if a guy is so caught up with having
every girl looking perfect they have a problem
(LOL).I felt self concious to when I got my
braces thats all I thought about if guys would
care and not like me and some won't care and
some will you just have to let it roll off
your back and be yourselve. If you be yourselve
a good guy that don't care how you look will come along.
I hope I helped

hoops4so2 answered Sunday March 16 2008, 3:26 pm: braces aren't bad, girls that think they can't smile too often or try to back away from guys because they have braces are a different story... i wouldn't mind hooking up with a girl that has braces, i know when i was 16 (I'm 18 now, not many girls I know with braces) lots of my guy friends hooked up with girls with braces! the only thing that guys don't like about hooking up with a girl with braces is that it might be different when kissing her (for instance, if we use tongue it might hurt). It's not that you have braces, it's that you hold back because you have braces. [ hoops4so2's advice column | Ask hoops4so2 A Question ]
