The truth is that no guy has ever asked me out, approached me, etc. No, there’s no guy I friendzoned either. All the men I approached rejected me too.
I told my boyfriend I liked him and he was the first guy to like me back. He recently just found out that he is indeed my first boyfriend. He asked why didn’t I date anyone before… I told him I was focusing on my studies at the time. He doesn’t believe me (I said it in a way that was obvious I was not telling the truth). I’m hesitant to tell him the truth because I want him to think I’m desirable. No I’m not desperate for men’s attention, I would like to think I wouldn’t say yes to any guy that asked me out.
I want him to feel like he ‘won’ something when he started dating me, even though I am the one that confessed first. He has had ex-girlfriends and they are all HOT too… I have no idea what he sees in me. I’m just being honest and not down playing. I’m tall and overweight with a skin condition while his exes look like models (all skinny, blue eyes and black hair, one was even a college athlete).
I don’t think he’s using me either (some people ask this when I described my boyfriend’s exes in the past) as he insist on paying for everything, has his own place, and plans the cutest dates.
How do I say, ‘you were the first one to give me a chance!’ without him feeling like he made a mistake in dating me?
