I have recently started dating again after a small stint at it after my divorce.
This time I feel ready to, hopefully meet someone. My confidence has grown since chatting on here and going on a few dates. I can actually meet for coffee without hyperventilating.
I know it's early days but I am really thinking about backing out again. The reason being....my body. I am a shapely size 14 and in clothes I feel rather confident. I get complimented on how I look quite often which is lovely. I know how to dress for my shape, I suppose. I try my best to look nice. With no clothes on I'm wobbly, my boobs are saggy, I have stretch marks and a jelly belly. I'm not over exaggerating here. I know all women have something they're not happy with but honest I'm actually quite ugly looking naked.
I know men like confidence and I do try. One day I'm going to have to be naked or dress and undress, holidays on the beach. It all fills me with dred.
