So a group of friends and I went ice skating a few days ago, and unbeknown to me, they told some random girl that I liked her. They then came over to me and told me to go talk to her, I kept saying no, but after about an hour of them annoying me about it I finally went over to the girl with my other girl-friend (a girl who's a friend) and basically my friend did all the talking. Then we went off feeling awkward, and they wanted us to come back. So we did, and my friend then asked for her phone number. So she took my friends phone and typed it in.

I wasn't feeling all that happy, I was kinda mad cause my friend is the one who started all this and got me involved. So then we tried texting that phone number, but no one answered. So we all figured they gave me a wrong number.

Now, I'm feeling kinda depressed. The whole reason why i never wanted to do this, is cause I knew I'd end up hurt. And I did end up hurt.

My self esteem is already non existent, so now that whole thing just reassured me how ugly I actually look. My teeth are horrible and I have braces, and my guy friend is a lot more better looking than me, so he always has girls say how handsome he is. While I'm not.

On my own, I feel a minuscule amount of self confidence, but when I'm with him, it's non existent. If I lookd how I do in the pics I make, I'd have high self confidence, but I'm just extremely photogenic when I want to be (I'm not bragging, as I said, my self confidence is almost non existent, but some pics I make of myself are really good I can't even believe its me, but when I look in the mirror, I look nothing like my pics. I barely photoshop them btw, only to add effects and to remove some small zits.)

Sorry, you got hurt, but don't take it so personally. If I was a girl, and just met a guy I didn't really know I wouldn't want to give him my phone number until I knew him better. You need to work on not judging yourself by how you think you look. Mirrors are our worst enemies. It's the relationships you develop that are important. You have friends be glad of that. Your teeth are being worked on by the braces. Give yourself time to develope. There is someone out there for everyone. It just takes time to find them.
