Feeling ignored by guys from ages of 13-18 (went to an all girls school) allowed me to develop a defence mechanism (I’m now 22). I believed that I was unattractive and no guy would want me (I don’t feel like this now).
One thing that I have realised about me, is that most guys that display an interest in me by chatting (and seems genuinely interested in what I have to say), I start seeing them as a guy I could potentially like (friends or more). Maybe I’m impressed that they want to talk to me and this is the after-effects of feeling unattractive for years. Is this a rational way of thinking?
I’ve always said that I don’t have a type and looks are secondary when I meet guys that could be bf material, so this may have something to do with it.
