Dear Diana,
I liked this girl in college. We were friends till we completed our graduation. After we passed out, I thought it was time for me to confess my feelings for her. After telling her so and buying her flowers and gifts, she told me she could not see herself with me as I was not up to her expectations. Now I am too scared to talk to girls in case my appearance isn't good enough for them. Do I really need to be nervous in front of girls?

Dear Hamith,
Don't let this experience hold you back. Just because this girl said no it does not mean all the others will say no as well. This girl seems too concerned about other people's perceptions — what they will think about you being with her. Don't let this make you feel insecure. Looks aren't everything in life. I am sure you will find someone better than this girl, who was not at all worthy of your love in the first place.
