Recently I've gotten contacts, and it's been about three weeks and I'm still not thrilled about my appearance. I know I'm really bad at adapting to change, and here's the major issue: so is the guy I like. He'd say that I didn't look bad and that it's just a new look he'd have to get used to.
During the weekend he called me and asked if I felt we had something between us. He asked if we were more than friends, and I finally told him that I liked him. I was so excited he brought it up, I mean, I thought he was gonna ask me out! But...he called to say that he felt that way about me, but he wasn't sure anymore and he couldn't explain it and he's very sorry.
So now I'm thinking that it's because I don't have my glasses and it does sound kinda crazy but before I got them he and I were so close and now, he rarely looks me in the eye. He says he's sorry and I'm not blaming him, I'm just looking for any second opinions on the glasses thing.
Thanks so much!

LM answered Tuesday April 1 2008, 9:18 am: It's possible (actually rather likely) that you wearing glasses was something he really liked. Some guys find girls who wear glasses attractive; it's not any different than liking, say, green eyes. But just as you wouldn't like someone just for their eye color (at least not to the extent that you'd date them) it's highly unlikely that this guy liked you just because you wore glasses. He must have liked your personality too, because when the glasses come off, you're still the same person. Just partially blind ;]
So, if he doesn't like you the same way anymore, something else might have changed. Give him a few days to adjust to your new look (because glasses to contacts can be quite drastic to others) then ask him what's up. If he liked you for things OTHER than your glasses, you'll know when you ask him.
