I think fzzy hit the nail on the head hun.

Women want to feel good about themselves (just as men do) and so tend to gravitate to people who make them feel good. That's why a positive attitude is so important and it's something that feeds off itself. The more positive you are, the more positive those around you are, which in turn makes it easier for you to feel positive too.

It's great that you're starting to realise that your self perception has not been very accurate up to now.....keep working on it, and keep being prepared to step outside of your comfort zone in terms of social experiences and your confidence will grow and grow.....you'll also learn more about the kind of people you like to be around and what kind of woman you're looking for. Most people will tell you that finding someone who's attracted to you is the easy part.....finding someone who's just right for you is harder, but I have every confidence that it will happen hun. And as others have said here, it usually happens when you least expecting it.

If all else fails, save up for the airfair to England sweetie....I'll hook y'up.
