Why is it so hard for me to believe he genuinely finds me attractive?

[Anonymous]

I’m not insecure, per se. I can see my own beauty on the inside and out but I know when it comes to compliments and how genuine they are it’s hard to see the intentions behind them. There’s this guy I have been talking to for months. He’s an attractive/handsome guy. He often tells me “I’m so pretty.” And how little things I do and say are so “cute” he’ll point out my dimples, compliment my smile, he has even told me he loves the small stud nose piercing on me and how attracted it makes me. When I literally forget I have it in most times. He seems authentic but it’s just the thought of “Does another person truly find me that attractive?” Almost like it seems too good to be real/true.

I expect you don't know how attractive you are. My wife was like that at your age. She's quite attractive, has been since she was 14, and still is today. She didn't believe it until she met me. Now she knows.

It's about his intentions, not your looks. Do you really want something with him?

You say that you aren't insecure, but everything points to the opposite being true. You can't take people at face value it seems.

Learn to accept compliments graciously. There are few things more annoying than a pretty girl who insists she isn't. Also, compliments don't always have 'intentions' attached to them. They rarely do actually.
