But my main concern is..he's much more educated...he has a career and is financially stable...well traveled (he's been all over the world!), knows so many amazing people (and I know this because I've met a lot of his friends/acquaintances and he knows some very refined, elegant, and knowledgeable men and women (he is also a tango dancer)And there's me...my self confidence is a little shaky (It's alright but not the best) I have not traveled extensively (not as an adult anyway) have grown up in the same area most of my life. Sometimes I'm a little scraggly , I don't always wear a lot of make up, most of the time in jeans, I'm not a dancer. I only have a couple years of college. I don't make a lot of money...(so he has this big ol' house and I just rent a little tiny room) I guess my question is I have no idea why he likes me and wants to date me...when there are so many elegant and refined, confident educated women...he encourages me but he doesn't push. I don't get it! But he's so good with me. We share a lot of laughs. We were very good friends before we started dating. Can any one provide insight?A little background: He's divorced with no children, and I was in an abusive relationship prioroh, I might also add that I have genital herpes. He does not. I told him, and he didn't care!! Another reason why I can't understand why he is with me

She doesn't understand why I am with her because I could have my pick of many other girls. So if your boyfriend is anything like me, he is with you because he LOVES you. Age is completely irrelevant. You are amazingly lucky to have found someone who looks past your herpes and loves you for who you are. I understand how you may question why he's with you, but everyone deserves some good in their life and this is your chance to have yours. My gf is always asking me why I'm with her when I can be with someone else, but I just keep telling her the same thing, because I truly love her.
