Sometimes I think “How can a girl like TMF be interested in a guy like me?”
When I saw her picture and profile on a dating app a few weeks ago, my heart started racing. She was stunningly attractive in a series of photos ranging from her big smile in her colorful poncho, to her loving gaze into her sweet dog’s eyes, to her jaw dropping selfie in her pink winter hat.
I sent her a note immediately, never expecting a reply. She was simply too beautiful and witty. I figured a girl like that would never be interested in a guy like me.
Except she responded – within minutes.
Oh. My. God.
I couldn’t believe it.
It’s been two weeks since then. We’ve gone out several times and have plans for more dates.
There are still times when I think, “I can’t believe she’s going out with me!”
What’s funny is that I don’t suffer from a lack of self-confidence. I’m well aware that I am relatively decent looking, in excellent health, super fit, financially/mentally/emotionally secure, have a track record of being a good husband, charming, well mannered, presentable, normal, etc.
So I “know” (and have been told) I’m a great “catch”.
But you know what?
I love feeling this way.
And sometimes, I still can’t believe it.
