I'm so intimidated with the guy I'm dating what should I do?

[Anonymous]

he's is really nice and but I'm so scared to death because he is a PhD student in engineering and I have only completed a bachelors degree in business.

Why are you comparing yourself to him?

Just because you do not have a PhD does not mean that you are not smart. He is nice, isn’t he? As long as he isn’t looking down upon you, you have nothing to worry about. Also, I don’t really see why he would look down upon you. If he does, you will have to end the relationship, because you don’t need such a man in your life. You have a business degree and that is great. Be proud of YOUR accomplishments.

Please do not be intimidated.

Yes he was nice maybe it's just I my head. When we first met I was the first person at the table he shared his food with.

[WonderBell99]

Are you the same person who asked a question saying that your date (who has a PhD) kept talking about his work?

Well, that’s lovely. I don’t see why you should be intimidated by him.

[Asker]

Yes very intimidating when he talk ahh

[WonderBell99]

don’t feel intimidated.

You do realize that getting a business degree isn’t easy, right? You worked hard for it.

[Asker]

Yes there was lots of reports that had to be written in a certain standard so yes it wasn't easy at all. I still feel like an idiot amongst engineers tho haha

[WonderBell99]

You are dating him, not working for him/competing with him for a job. Be more confident.

You scared he's going to papercut you up with his phd certificate or something?

Education is largely irrelevant in relationships, it's his ability to love, earn and communicate, that will determine if he's a keeper or not.

[Vikkrram]

So are u in relationship wid him or you are competing to get a job from him?

[Asker]

Just at the talking stages with him at the moment

[Vikkrram]

See Maam you both have to be together if u both like each other it doesn't matter that how much you both have to be educated...

[ArtemisSilver]

Sign up for a few magazines related to his work, and you'll Always have something on point to talk about.

No Reason to be scared of a person's degree, sounds like he wants to be with you, NOT your degree.

[Asker]

I'm like average smart he's beyond it. But I have done interesting things in life

[one1wild00]

exactly, sounds like a good match.

[Wise4myage]

Stop being so damn timid or move on to other guys. A degree in business is good to have. :)

[Asker]

I know i feel like I'm not good enough for this guy he is doing research at this university

[zagor]

Are you dating him or competing for a job with him?

[Asker]

Not competing for a job I'm just super intimidated by this guy but he was nice since he was sharing his meal

[zagor]

What is so intimidating? He probably has worked hard to get to where he's at.

[whereismyjohnny]

But why compare? It's not a competition.

[Asker]

I know I just feel so intimidated he's so smart he could get a smarter girl than me

[whereismyjohnny]

There is no reason to feel intimidated, and bring yourself down. Stop overthinking and just enjoy.

[Asker]

Very true he must of liked me to share his food with me he was really nice to me
