Ok, so since losing weight, Ive gotten a bit more confident and started dating again. Ive been kissing a few toads lately, well last night, I think I kissed a prince, but Im a little concerned. This is probably stupid, and just my insecurities coming out, but here goes. There is another guy in the picture, well sort of, currently he is stationed in iraq (have to love a man that wears the uniform), so the chances of he and I being together right now are non exsistent, however, I do really like him.
The one I had the date with last night, obviously lives in the UK. So far, he is nice, sweet, and ticks all the right boxes, but I have my doubts. Lets call the guy from last nite LB.
LB is a good looking fella, financially secure, good job, really nice guy. Our date consisted of him coming over to mine and we just sat there and talked for hours. He has been pursuing me for a few months now, and I finally gave in (think it was the hard to get thing that got him interested).
Anyways, I just dont picture him with me. He dresses nice, where as Im a jeans, t-shirt and sneakers kind of gal. He likes the finer things in life, I like camping and slobbing about. He has all these plans like going on romantic weekend breaks to Italy, Im independent and stubborn and would need to pay my own way on that, and truly cant afford to do anything like that.
I picture LB with a blonde pretty thing, not with me. He knows I have lost weight, but not how much. And after thinking about it, I would have big reservations about getting naked in front of him (think of lots of loose skin, pudgy bits) especially when I picture him with a pretty young thing that dresses nice, and can fit into any social situation. Me, I get nervous and shy and just want to disappear from social situations!!!
I have tried to talk to him about my reservations, I got a text back saying that 'before I start thinking about all this, I need to get to know him first, and give him a chance. That he thinks Im attractive, intelligent, great kisser (Im a damn good kisser), funny and cute (I hate that word). And he wants to be with me.
Do I give him a chance, or do I just walk away cos I would always be self conscious around him and feel somewhat inferior? See its been a long time since I dated, 3 years in fact, so I dont know the protocol or expectations that are out there now. I need some serious help and advice from you more date savvy gals!!!
Help!
