Kinda long! But please I need your opinion!
22/f. I recently started talking to a guy that I met on tagged. I haven't seen him in person but we have seen pictures of eachother. We've been talkin for over a week now, almost all hours of the night, and I swear we can have a conversation about anything. I will admit, I am not the type to talk on the phone, so it MUST be serious if I'm sacrificing what little sleep I already get because I enjoy talking to him. For once, I'm talkin to a guy who is like myself in very many ways and is not about sex and all that. I can tell he is a very genuine person. We are both very focused on being friends first....
The thing is I know that one day he is going to want to meet me in person yet hasn't mentioned anything about it yet. I'm a big girl (BBW), and I'm just terrified that his opinion may change if he meets me in person. I mean I have pictures on my tagged showing me from my knees up, but I'm wearing black so you can't truly tell how big I really am... I am my worst enemy and there's many flaws that I know I have (big feet, etc.) But I will say what I lack in looks I make up for in personality.
I haven't dated in 4 1/2 years. So I am very shy when it comes down to it. I've been hurt numerous time and I've come to a point where I put my love life in PARK. I've found extra things to do to keep myself busy so the love life wouldn't be such a big deal. But it's tough cause I feel so alone. My friends are getting married and having kids and I feel just so out of the loop...

Even if this turns out to be nothing serious, at least you made a good friend in the process: someone you can talk to, trust, and depend on. As for your looks, you can always do things to get in shape. At the end of the day, if he cares about you, he wouldn't mind. But, it is obviously an insecurity of yours, so, if for your own personal reasons, work on getting in shape. The things you cannot change are what make you who you are...we all have flaws that we would love to change, but it's who you are and you need to find a way to accept that. If you do end up meeting him, take a friend with you because you never know who you're connecting with on the internet. [ xlostangelx's advice column | Ask xlostangelx A Question ]
