Whenever I'm around him, I just feel so happy and I forget about all of the troubles in my life. He makes me smile more than anyone I know (yes, I know this sounds typical) But I'm too shy to tell him how I feel. Well, I've told him before that I kinda liked him, and he's told me in middle school that he liked me, and again in high school. I'm afraid though, to let anyone (and I mean ANYONE) into my emotions. We're pretty good friends, and I don't want to sacrifice that. Our friendship is one of the most important things to me. I'm also afraid that I'm not good enough. Because I know he could do way better and he deserves better. If I could give him the world I would, but I can't. This has to do with my weight and the fact that I have braces. I'm not really overweight, though I'm not skinny at all. I also have a problem with stretch marks (not a lot, just a few) but they bother me none the less.I'm really sorry for this wall of text, but if you read it through I really appreciate it! Any tips or help are loved D:

 never think you are not good enough because you will end up not being good enough. if he is worth it his will like you and what you call your flaws.go with the "you never know until you try" attitude. and i understand how hard it is to break down those barriers for someone, but don't do it yourself, let him do it for you. without realising it you have let down a few already from what i have read, and it didn't hurt did it?just explain things to him, he'll never know how to react if he doesn't have anything to react to.

My you have wound yourself up into a tizzy. Don't even bother to tell him how you feel about him until you've been hanging out with him a long time. When the time comes to tell him, it'll probably be during a clinch. But you are SO much better off to simply give him some chances every now and then to declare himself, before you get all clingy in his eyes. In the meantime, relax and enjoy him, and the others that will catch your eye. Be you! By the way, braces are not forever, and you CAN deal with the weight problem. ( I personally have always preferred the rounder, riper look on my girlfriends - so unless you're talking say 15 or more pounds overweight - fret not, darlin'.) You can also firm up a bit via exercise - join a local swim team, feel silly for a while in a swim suit, and move your body!
