Relationships

Single for many years! Do you think it's my body?

I have built so much confidence when it comes to dating. I was very naive when I first became single. Not everyone is genuine and not everyone likes you back. I'm totally ok with that. Rejection is a direction, right?!
Although, I'm confident in the fact I'm going to be rejected at any stage of dating. I'm starting to lose confidence in me! By that I mean, my appearance. I'm a (wobbly/saggy) size 14-16 and it has taken me a long time to be ok with myself when dating (when I'm dressed) but I have noticed a pattern.
When it comes to the next stage in the dating process (getting naked), it's not long after, they disappear. I'm now at a point where I expect it. That's not nice.
I don't think I will ever have the confidence to be naked around anyone again. Not even in a swim suit. So the thought of holidays make me anxious. To be the lights out, bra on type of gal, isn't very exciting is it?
I'm honestly thinking of staying single because of the above :(

chestylarue52 I have done all the confidence thing!

It doesn't sound like you have though. It sounds like you're looking to men to let you know whether your body is worthy of having sex with.

Pilate's and yoga can be good for bad backs, because they build core strength.
