So I met a guy on Bumble. We've had some back and forth and we have great chemistry.
My issue is that we've never really seen each other physically so he doesn't know that I'm plus sized and it's been a huge insecurity for me when dating. I want to date him and pursue this because it's been a hot minute since I've found someone I like this much but I know that I can't discuss my body image issues.
I'm currently on a journey to better myself and honestly, I didn't expect to meet someone. I'm scared that I won't meet someone like him again and then I'll die single and lonely. What do I do? How did you deal with the fear of rejection? Please shower me with your guidance, you self-loving and accepting god-like people.
As a plus size woman myself, I say, ask to exchange pictures and see where it goes. Be honest with your pictures. Not every body is for everybody, but you don't know if you don't put yourself out there. If you don't make it a big deal and he's a man worth your time, he will be unfazed. If he acts weird, then let it go. From my experience, men like a woman who is confident in her skin. Put on your cutest outfit, snap a picture, and find out! Trust me, there are PLENTY of men out there that appreciate a plus sized body. đ„
