Dating

Feeling inadequate because you don’t check all the boxes?

Have you ever dated someone and you knew what they look for or like in someone they want to date, and you don’t meet one of those things? And because you don’t meet that check mark you feel inadequate and insecure like maybe he/she is settling for you and not finding they’re soulmate?

For example, I have always wished I could sing but I’m to shy too and my voice is terrible. My boyfriend thinks that one of the most attractive things in a woman is singing. (He loves singing) and I want so badly to sing, I keep trying but it always comes out like a nasally 5 year olds voice instead of a 21 year old woman’s voice. And it nags at me that I feel like he’s settling for me who can’t sing when who he wants to be with is someone who will always sing in the car with him and sing duets.

Have any of you experienced something similar? How did you grow past it?

I’m so sorry 😞 you didn’t deserve to go through that. And I don’t know maybe taking singing lessons I could at least feel like I could sing with him, but it’ll probably take my own reflection and self confidence to change my thought pattern from thinking I’m still inadequate.
