Dating A Very Good Looking Person And Trying Not To Be Insecure

By Astrid Engels

How much would you like to bet that Brad and Angelina don't suffer from this particular insecurity. They're both extremely good looking people. Millions of readers around the world have cast their votes on gossip websites and in well known magazines making this a global good looking couple.

Even if they were single, they would have more than enough suitors after them and would have it easy and may not have to consider internet dating as a resource unless they chose to do so.

Normally two good-looking people always grab the crowds' attention, but what happens when you are the one dating a drop dead gorgeous mate? How would you handle it? Also if this has happened to you, did you handle it well?

When I was younger, I did date a man who was very handsome. There were even times I thought to myself, what was he doing with me? I mean, I was cute, but only in a girl next door way. He, on the other hand was quite good looking; very good looking to be exact. When we were together women would swoon. Guys would even look as we walked by.

The funny thing is that instead of looking at me, they were looking at him. We dated for a short while then we broke up. I was sad but quite happy. I soon realized that I was too insecure to date someone so smashing looking and just not ready to cross over to that world.

When I stop and think about it, his looks weren't the issue. How I dealt with them was. He was just a nice guy looking for love and he obviously found me attractive enough to date. I'd dreamed about the man with movie star looks since I was a teen, but now that I'd found him I didn't know what to do with him. I couldn't enjoy him for the funny person he was; his looks got in the way.

Now that I'm older of course I realize how silly I was back then. Although looks are the first thing we notice when we meet someone it's personality and common interests that will take a relationship to the next level.

Interestingly enough, I have another opportunity to put my confidence to the test. I've just started dating someone who's even better looking than the other one. When we're out in public I hold his hand with confidence and smile when the ladies swoon. He's just as handsome inside as out. And the confidence that shows on my outside is also present on the inside.
