Hello again,

I've been chatting to guys online and one stands out above the rest. We have not been able to meet in person yet partially due to his schedule as a commercial pilot and distance. Dude is very handsome, killer physique, probably making excellent money flying internationally. Me? Well I know I have my charms but your girl is struggling! No job, living at home, sedentary lifestyle. We have been texting each other and he always takes out time in his busy schedule to text me cute poems or wish me a good night, etc. Today he texted me that he was picturing the two of us together. I told him I was on the same wavelength but that I'm feeling insecure and wondering if he can accept me as I am. I didn't say this but he seems so perfect to me that I am questioning everything about myself and wondering if I should get out now before I face the humiliation of disappointing him. Should I have admitted these feelings to him at all? Or did I shoot myself in the foot? Is this normal?

Expressing insecurity isn't necessarily horrible but telling him you wonder if he can accept you as you are was a bit too much. Might very well make him have second thoughts. So don't do that again in the future :)

 

With this guy, just move forward and see where things go. You don't have to share everything in common, just have chemistry and an emotional connection.

 

Also, just for life in general, work on things about yourself that make you feel insecure or they will keep haunting you and holding you back. Work diligently on finding a job, get active if it's only a walk around the block every day. Physical activity really does make you feel better and gives you energy and motivation to do more.
