  1. Thank you so much for every single one of your comments. You have all made some pretty valid points that i wasn't even considering before, foolishly. As this is my first time in 2 years putting myself out there i can certainly see i was WAY in over my head with things that shouldn't even be a concern right now. I can confirm i do not plan on sleeping with him after a first date, so i have more time to work on my confidence, what i am comfortable with and my boundaries before that even happens so yes, i need to relax. I also realize it is not anyone's responsibility to soothe my insecurities so its pretty evident i need to do some more internal work here! He has asked to go for coffee on Saturday morning, as he has work after so i think i'm going to go! as you have all said i have nothing to lose right and i think id enjoy something as casual as a coffee and a chat. Thank you again all 🙂 D xxx
  2. I think definitely suggest for her to speak to her doctor about her mood swings. If she isn't willing to work on herself for the relationship, then thats unfair on you and you deserve better.
  3. Honestly, i really appreciate your comment. Its what i needed to hear. Thank you so much! I realize i have definitely jumped the gun here lol, i know he has only asked to meet up but i think as its been a while since I've dated I've complexly forgotten how to relax and enjoy it! The biggest concern are my stretch marks though - i do just feel extremely conscious of them. Grr.
  4. @Cenkiz - Ah thank you so much, you are so, so kind. I do really want to meet with him, i just worry that i wont be what he expected, if you know what i mean? He compliments me all the time and really makes an attempt at boosting my confidence i just worry he'll be like "i didnt sign up for this" haha
  5. I agree with the above comment. Coming from someone who also suffers pretty badly with an anxiety disorder, if i'm ever an a*hole it is not because of my anxiety. You also mention at the start that she has "all the signs" of anxiety but has she actually been diagnosed? i'd suggest she spoke to her doctor if not because potentially there is much more than an anxiety issue here and she cant keep blaming her crappy attitude on this.
  6. @Wiseman2 Thank you for your comment, i agree best to meet sooner rather than later, i do need to stop putting it off. We already do have so much chemistry and he is eager to meet up, i think i'm just over thinking it. Would you be bothered with stretch marks etc?
  7. Hey, so I am going to keep this short! I'm 25 and I have been single for around 2 years now. I feel ready to date again and I have been speaking to a guy for a couple of months now, he seems really lovely and he is being extremely patient with me as my confidence just won't allow me to meet up with him. (I keep making up excuses - but I know this will only work for so long!). I've always been a little insecure about my body, but this is something I am actively working on. I am currently a curvy size 12 and in clothes and I am slowly starting to like how my body looks again for the first time in a long time. My biggest insecurity is that I have rather aggressive stretch marks on the front of my stomach, from my abdomen to my navel area. They are bright red / purple and do not seem to be fading no matter what! So the thought of getting naked around someone new makes me feel extremely uncomfortable. I hope I don't sound silly, I just really wanted to hear some suggestions maybe? My family and friend group have all been pretty lucky in regards to stretch marks and their bodies so I don't really have others I can speak to about it! Anything is appreciated 🙂
