I have a lot to blog about (I'm super behind) but I'm really sleepy. It's waaaay past my bedtime. So for now, I'm going to blog about one thing: dating and self confidence.
I'm not sure if anyone remembers my vent about the blind date I was set up on and how my one preference (when it comes to appearance) for dating is that the guy's chest not be bigger than me (in a non-muscular way). If you know me, that leaves some pretty decent room for the guy. Anyway, I was beginning to feel like I was never going to be able to date someone I was actually attracted to. My self esteem spiraled downhill. Then, right before I left to come home, I met Donanciano, a fantastic guy from Mexico. Then, my first full day back in PA, I took my car to Jiffy Lube to get it inspected and one of the workers hit on me and asked for my number. I went out with him last weekend and am going out with him again this weekend. He's just so good for my self esteem right now. He always calls me gorgeous and beautiful. And while, I know that a lot of that is just sweet talk, the fact that a good looking guy like him even wants to go out with me has made me realize that I don't need to be the thin white girl to be beautiful. It's just really opened my eyes. Just because I'm overweight, doesn't mean that I need to be set up with the socially-awkward overweight guys. I am worth waiting for someone I am attracted to.
