by the time i (20F) graduated high school, i’d started getting quite a bit of male attention after finally filling out my previously awkwardly lanky build and just getting more outgoing in general. i ending up getting involved (albeit briefly) with the boy my girl friends considered the best-looking in school. but even with that validation, i keep going back to a time my “best friend” told me, “no offense, but i consider you average looking.” it kind of broke my heart and scared me to bits — it made me wonder if she was the only one who would give it to me straight and everyone else who’d ever called me pretty or beautiful was just lying to flatter me.
as a principle, i don’t really believe in “leagues”… at least, in other people’s relationships. but i’m head over heels for this guy i can’t stop viewing as way out of my league. he’s tall with lovely eyes, thick lashes, and a disney prince-like head of hair. he’s so earnest and could charm the pants off of anyone he wanted to (in an absolutely genuine and non-greasy way). he’s really your classic goofy but well-intentioned labrador boy that most women would love to have. his smile could honest to goodness make flowers bloom — wide, shiny, and framed with the most adorable dimples.
i’ve been told i’m pretty or cute, but i know i’m not a drop dead beauty. i’m not beautiful in the way that he is. i also know that looks aren’t the only factor in attraction. and i’m not worried that he couldn’t be attracted to me at all; i’m confident enough in my “cuteness” to believe if we got together that wouldn’t be an issue. but i hate feeling this insecurity!! how can i forget about what my friend said (literally 6 years ago) and finally feel confident that i can date beautiful people without being scared they’ll leave me because i’m not beautiful enough to match?
