I don't know what to do about this, so I'm hoping someone will have some tips or suggestions. I've been getting friendly with this guy... we met online, and from there we began texting. We have so much in common and he's a great guy. Tonight he wants to talk to me on the phone, he says he wants to learn more about me. And I don't know what to do, because I can't date him. He is too good for me. He is way too good-looking and smart and everything else. My friends tell me that's not true -- they tell me I've had a 4.0 GPA ever since I've been back in school, that I've done such a great job losing weight, that I'm pretty... but deep down, I think they're just saying all these things to placate me. Because I don't feel any of those things, they make no difference. All I know is that I am too fat and ugly and stupid for him. So what do I do? Do I tell him tonight that there's no chance of a relationship? Do I go along with it? I don't know what to do, because I generally don't date guys like him... and they don't date me either. HELP!!!

Don't be so down on yourself, go for it. At the end of the day it will either work out or it won't and you'll have grown and learned about yourself in the process. You can take it slow you don't have to rush anything but don't push him away because of low self esteem. Listen to your friends, they love you and most likely for good reason. Be excited, get yourself some new make up and clothes and treat yourself enjoy this.

Stop thinking that way. Never think you're not good enough. I've felt this way before and I realized I was just over thinking. Just relax and go with the flow. He likes you for you, nothing else matters. Love yourself. You can't love someone else until you love yourself. If you do like him and he likes you, just try it, see what happens, maybe he can show you things about yourself that he loves and that you can learn to love. Don't give up because of what your brain tells you. Sometimes our brains just love to analyze and think irrationally, ignore it. Go with what your heart says. Follow how you are feeling. I really hope it works out.
