i have a long distance relationship and he wants me to go with him to his senior prom, i told him i will. HE wants to see me sooner than that and so do i but the problem is im afraid to. I know im fat, but im not really huge like i should be, i weigh alot but i dont look how much i weigh. Im scared he is not going to want me anymore when he sees me. he calls me beautiful and etc but he only sees pictures of my face... i really do love him and he said the same but i just have a feeling that he will break up with me when he sees me...i just dont know what to do :( Im also scared that my best friend will steal him away from me...she said she will never but i know her well enough, and i just dont know...he said he would never break up with me for her, but i just have a bad feeling about it.

Atsweet1 agony auntThat old saying is classic It's really not important how they look but what matters is how they treat you. Does looks matter it does in society does it with you. Don't stress don't worry. Alot of times I feel like this about my skin color or my bony ness. But I'm nice for the most part. Be Confident even if you have to act it. It draws people to you no matter how you look.

Maybe the best idea would be to talk to him about it. If you trust him and are in a committed relationship, he will respect you no matter how you look. Tell him you're insecure about your full appearance.

If you feel like it, send him a photo of you (fully clothed, of course).

Other than that, I don't think you should worry too much. If he's a decent person then he will like you no matter what. You know him better than we do. Does he seem shallow? Females (and males) are beautiful no matter what size they are. Would you dislike him if you found out he was overweight?

Another tip is to find your perfect formal dress! I'm sure you will look gorgeous nonetheless with your hair and make-up done, he won't be able to keep his eyes off you!

All the best,

J

Tisha-1 agony auntDoes your Mom know about his invitation? And when is his prom? August and September or even October aren't renowned for proms.

Tisha-1 agony auntHave you ever met him in real life? Maybe the best thing to do is to not go as it will stress you out so much. What did your mother suggest as a solution to the problem? I know my Mom was great with good advice on things that worried me. How about yours?

Stayc63088 agony auntDo you have access to Skype or the ability to show him your whole body? It will ease your mind and be best if he can see you and assure you he is still very into you and wants to go to prom together. I understand being worried he may not like you when he hasn't seen you, so show him! There is no point in hiding it, he will see you soon enough in person. But atleast you won't be scared of his reaction. Let him see all of you now. It is hard enough meeting someone in person from online and it is really exciting when you see exactly what you expect, and disappointing when you don't. It's hard imagining someone a certain way and finding out it was nothing that you thought. I've met quite a few people from online so I know this. Truth and honesty and showing exactly as you are, not old pictures from years ago, but your true self is the very best way to go. Otherwise sometimes it can feel like you were lied to. So get on Skype or take a full photo and send it, you will both feel better.

Stop worrying, if he truly wants to be with you he will no matter what, as long as you have not lied then it should be a problem. What bad feeling do you have? And as i said before if he wants to be with you he will no matter who what your best friend is. Just be happy
