Wow. First of all how did you end up dating someone that never told you that you were pretty. I can't even imagine going on a first date with someone that hadn't said they thought I was pretty... Second could be he either was dating u out of convenience and wasn't attracted to you and was just a douchebag. Or he thought if u knew you were pretty you would be encouraged to leave him. Some men put women down because they can't handle competition on any level and literally need to break women down to feel superior. Like " you aren't a prize he's the prize and u should feel honored to be with him" type of mindset. My advice dear is don't allow that man child any further influence over ur mindset. Take some time to urself work on rebuilding ur self esteem because I know that hurt. And only start dating again when you have confidence in yourself that you are beautiful. I can tell you as a woman that grew up kinda like the ugly duckling then got scouted for modeling and has never had trouble finding a guy find her attractive since... That at the end of the day even the women society calls beautiful have days they feel ugly... But what really matters is character. Ur heart... U can be the most superficially beautiful woman on the outside and have an ugly soul. Your heart will always be the most valuable asset... Good looks can keep a man for a short term time frame but your heart is what keeps him. And sustains a relationship. I've seen some of the most physically attractive men with women who are not by society standards the most attractive but their hearts are so good that they became the most beautiful woman in the world to their man. So don't let broken people define ur worth. They are not qualified to assess ur worth.
He is just being honest, but if he didn't like you, he wouldn't be with you. If you want him to call you pretty, then tell him. If not respect him. Does a man need to tell you your pretty? Not everybody needs that, like myself as an example. So if you do, and he can't provide that, then you two aren't compatible. And maybe let him be with somebody who doesn't need that. As long as he isn't abusive and wants to bring you down, you have look at what is important to you.
It is strange if he doent says you are pretty bc I dont think he would be with you if he doesn't think you are pretty.
On other side, maybe you are not model. type girl and you dont have to be one, but it doesn't matter actually. He is with you so I suppose that he see something in you.
I mean, I am in similar situation. I like one girl but she is not the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Neither I am and that is not important. But, I see something in her that is better than any other. But, I would say she is pretty to her because I think she is.
What a Romeo. He told you he doesn’t love you. Drop him. true love is blind and will always see you as beautiful. He felt like he was settling and he wanted to do “better”. beauty fades but if you’re really in love they will see you as beautiful as always.
No sis even if you're the ugliest girl according to some beauty standards he was raised to believe in once he falls for you he will see you as the prettiest. So don't be with someone who makes you question your beauty or your worth. I am not saying dump him I am saying show him how you love yourself and see yourself as a pretty girl and he should follow. If he doesn't then he doesn't really SEE you.
So what? Aren't you satisfied with being average looking? 😉 well, maybe the problem is you sweetie and you shouldn't feel entitled to receive compliments from others

i guess you got an honest one there. hold on to him. he's better than those liars that just tell you what you wanna hear.
nothing wrong with being average by the way. most people are xD hence the word "average".
Let's just pray that God ruins him for this, a guy I loved refused to call me pretty too, and now he has no money and looks sick, that's what he gets for fkn with me.
