Search Results: how to handle rejection

Hi,

A while ago, when I met this guy, I was pretty overweight. 200lb/5'5". My doctor told me I had a hormonal problem and he put me on BC which helped bring me down to 165 lbs.

I've been on a really strict diet and exercise plan but all it has done has maintained my weight. My doctor says to give it up because my family has a history of obesity (my mum is 225 lbs and my dad is 350 lbs) so it may be harder for me to lose more but I lost two pounds in the past month and that means I know I can do it but it'll probably take a bit longer than I hoped.

Anyway, I really like this guy, we're really good friends. I know he likes average girls. He has a picture of Jennifer Love Hewitt for his background when she was skinny but he's always dated like normal but still slender girls, I don't know an example might be something like this -> link ?

I really like him and know some people might think he's shallow because of weight but I don't really care because I understand about standards and all of that. He's actually really nice, he's very respectful towards women and he always shakes his head when I refer to my diet so I know he's concerned about me as a friend. I would really like him to be more than that I honestly think that because I was so overweight before, he never looked at me that way.

We've always flirted and teased each other but he never took it further? So could you please take a look at the generated image of me (it's pretty accurate except my hips are a bit bigger I think) and let me know if you think he could overlook my weight because of my personality? -> link or do you think I should lose more weight?

And please don't ask me to tell him straight up. I don't think I could handle that sort of rejection.

Thanks for your help!
