Okay so I have found this subreddit about a couple weeks ago( i think lol) and i have been luring for awhile and doing research through all these great articles and posts you guys have made.

Well I can definitely say that they have been very helpful for someone who is self conscious about their looks. I have had a bad smile for almost all my life so i feel uncomfortable when smiling even when laughing.

But these past few months I have noticed this really beautiful girl at work that i was sure was checking me out (not used to it) So the more and more I noticed her i finally worked up the courage to talk to her last week, to the point that the other night she stayed late instead of going home, to today where i finally asked her out and she said yes :)

So thank you very much everyone for all the encouragement you give everyone and I will post an update later

update: so everything seemed great as the date was set and what we would do for a date. Until later tonight when she asked my age. i told her i was 27 almost 28 and since she is almost 28 the age differnce was too much. So i got shot down again

Yes im proud of how far i came in a short time, but this really makes me feel like shit right now
