Dating A Very Good Looking Person And Trying Not To Be Insecure

Author: Astrid Engels, October 9th, 2009

It is safe to say that Hollywood A-List actors Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt will never have this problem. They are both extremely gorgeous people and they have the votes from around the world from gossip websites to well-known magazines to prove it.

Even if Brangelina weren’t a couple, with their looks they would be fending off suitors by the handful. It’s safe to assume they wouldn’t have to consider using an internet dating site!

It’s only natural that two good looking people will grab people’s attention. But what about when you’re the one who is dating a really good looking companion? Would you be able to handle it? If it’s happened to you already, did it go well?

I’m an average looking gal. My friends describe me as “cute in a girl next door kinda way”. And most of the men I’ve dated are average looking as well, with one exception. This guy was so good looking I sometimes wondered what the heck he was doing with me! Women and men both drooled over this guy’s appearance.

But when we were out together, people looked at him, not at me. It wasn’t something I was used to. We didn’t date for long and although I was sad when we broke up, I was happy the relationship was over. I was simply too insecure to date someone better looking than myself.

Now what he looked like should really not have mattered. He was simply a person looking for love and he actually liked me for who I was. Clearly, he found me attractive however, the problem was not him. It was me. I had fantasized about the guy with the movie star looks as a teen, but when it became a reality I had no idea what to do with him. It is as though, I could not relax and just enjoy the moment. He was fun to be with and loved to play practical jokes, but somehow the looks were an issue.

Of course physical appearance counts; it’s the first thing we notice when we meet someone But to take a relationship to the next level most of us rely on more than just looks; we put our faith in personality and things we may have in common.

Well life has given me a second chance. I’m currently seeing someone even better looking than before (who knew that it was even possible?). Now when we hold hands in public and the ladies swoon, I smile, and mean it. My guy is as handsome in the inside as he is on the outside. And I’m secure enough in my own strengths that his looks just aren’t an issue.
