why me


Question Posted Tuesday July 29 2008, 11:57 am

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
KAT.

The fact that you're still talking, even through texting, means that he has some interest in you. And because he didn't really see you, the "friendship" isn't really based on looks, unless he did see you. But since texting doesn't involve looking at each other, the chances of that are low.

I say try hanging out with him in person and see what he's like. If he stops talking to you because he thinks you're ugly, well then he's not the type of guy to be with. If it doesn't phase him [and I'm sure you're not ugly; ugly is a state-of-mind. I personally think everyone is beautiful in their own way. I know, cheesy, right? ;],] then he could be a really good guy to be with.

well he obviously likes you for a reason. maybe not just because of your looks. just try it out and don't jsut stick to texting. go on a real date and see what he really thinks of you.
good luck!

My wife is very attractive but she seems to think of herself as unattractive also. It could be that you are actually just the type of girl he is interested in. The most beautiful girl in the world that was also mean, rude, self centered, demanding, and a pain in the neck wouldn't be such a great catch except for someone just like her!

well, im sure that he's not blind lol. not everything is about looks, sometimes guys may analyze you from afar.. how you act with friends, your facial expressions, gestures... believe it or not. just be confident in that he's not like every other shallow guy.. give it a shot.. and if he doesn't like you, then dont feel bad. at least he didnt lead you on to use you, which would cause even more emotional damage.. respect yourself, love the way you look, reflect that confidence, and you will see how much people will admire you ;)
good luck

flirty :)
