My 18 year old daughter is a great girl. She's smart, outgoing, funny & kind. She's also very articulate & self confident. She has loads of friends & truly gets on well with most people.
However, she's never been asked out by a boy & the few times she's done the asking (including this weekend) she's either been rejected or ghosted. She can get really down about this & asks me if there's something wrong with her looks. I don't believe anyone has anything wrong with their looks as I really believe beauty is in the eye of the beholder & I'm always reassuring her that she looks great - which she does.
She's tall - 5ft 11, & while slim she's not skinny. Her height combined with her having a lovely curvaceous figure means she can't really wear all the tiny dresses etc. that most of her friends wear & she's getting fixated on this, feeling that she's unattractive by comparison. This weekend she asked a guy she knows to her prom & he's totally ghosted her & she's now really upset. Are young guys these days really that shallow that they only want to be seen with tiny doll like girls?
I'm bewildered as she's a lovely looking girl as well as having a super personality (am genuinely making both statements objectively) and I'm honestly heartbroken seeing her rejected like this time and time again.
Has anyone else been through same & if so any tips on how I can help her with this. I'm really worried it's going to batter her self esteem.
