She's too good for me, and it makes me worry?

[Anonymous]

OK, I'm 26 years old. I'm dating a really great women. She's 29. She's beautiful, super classy, smart, well-educated. She's always so funny and upbeat. She is really active in the community. She's involved with several local organizations that do things like promote bicycle safety and awareness, she helps manage an independent movie theater, she enjoys things like wine tasting and opera. She's a democrat like me, she's very into politics, she has a great paying job. Really, the good qualities just keep going and going.

Myself on the other hand, am the opposite. I work as a deputy sheriff. I went to just a state college. I'm bald. I don't make nearly as much money as she does. I'm interested in some of the things that she's into like foreign films and literature, but nowhere near the level that she is. I'm more of a mainstream kind of guy, and I'm a bit of a nerd.

I'm normally a pretty confident guy, but sometimes I really feel like I'm not good enough for her. I'm a little scared at this point because I've been hurt before and I'm really falling for this girl, but I honestly don't see why she's with me when she could do so much better.

What do you think?

I know it seems like like she likes me for me, but I just have trouble understanding why. I mean, I'm not fancy or sophisticated. I'm not well-read or creative. I just worry she's going to realize one day what she's missing out on by being with me.

You know what? I felt exactly the same way you felt with my now ex-bf. He was a musician, he played like pretty much all instruments, he was gorgeous, funny, interesting and smart. I felt he was so amazing and I wasn't, and that I didn't belong in his life. Now that we've broken up, I realise how stupid I've been. Like really. If I thought he was so amazing, therefore I clearly was, because the guy I thought was amazing and was too good for me, loved me, thought I was the most amazing, beautiful, funniest, interesting girl he knows.

Sorry if that's a bit confusing but you get what I mean?

She likes you for who you are already. She believes you're amazing and worth something, so you should too.

maybe she enjoys how simple you are and likes having somebody around she gets a chance to relax with. two busy people wouldn't have time for each other. th qualities you have are good by the way so please don't try to talk her out of what she sees in you and don't make it seem like you are backing off either :)

I can tell you this from experience, if you believe someone is better than you and you don't deserve them, eventually you'll end up convincing them of this and they'll leave you. Start having more confidence in yourself and knowing that you have things to offer this woman that she wants, that is if you want to keep her,

she is obviously loving you for who you are...don't judge a book by it's cover
