Question - (28 February 2007) 3 Answers - (Newest, 28 February 2007)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Well I really like this guy, but he has a girlfriend, who I think is more attractive than me.

I'm quite jealous/envious of her and I really don't like to feel like this, even though I don't know her.

I compare myself to her, which in honesty, makes me feel even worse.

Can you help please?

i think its natural for all humans to look at people and think 'what do they have that i dont dont'. we've all looked at couples and asked why he/she is with him/her.

but envy isnt a sin for other peoples benefit, its for ours. modern life has us all wanting to be who and what we're not, to be mr muscle or miss world.

but as the saying goes 'variety is the spice of life', we're meant to be different.

what you need to do, is not work out how your the same as her but how your different. something you have that she doesnt, we all have our own selling point.

even better, you could focus on a lad whos going to go for all your selling points, and will be single enough to take them.

Sure it is easy, stop comparing yourself to the girlfriend because you are judging apples and oranges, neither of you are the same and neither one of you is better looking. Beauty is really in the eye of the beholder.

Don't focus on a guy who is unavailable to you, people want what they can't have but that is no reason to be pining over this one boy and beating yourself up over not being the one he chose, you never know, you may find someone you like better, or he will most likely be single again at some point.
