I can't compare

So I've been talking about this guy Chris for a while now.
We really seem to be a good match- everyone agrees.
I like him like crazy and he seems to like me a lot too. He told my friend that he just isn't ready to go out with anyone quite yet because his ex hurt him so badly.
So I'm waiting because I really think he's worth it.
But I just found a picture of his ex girlfriend- she's soooo pretty!! Now I really feel like I should give up because he's not going to want to go out with me after having... THAT!
You can say all you want about it being the inside that counts but everyone knows physical attraction is a huge part of a functional relationship.

Of course it's a part of a functional relationship, but you just said that you two are great together and that he likes you a lot too, so why wouldn't he want to become involved with you in time?

Although looks are important, it's more along the lines of needing to be attracted to someone rather then think they are the most beautiful person in the world (that comes after getting to know them and falling in love). As long as there is physical attraction between you two then there would be no reason why he wouldn't be willing to go out with you once he's over his ex.

Exactly! I agree mucho with Tony. If he likes you a lot and you like him a lot as well. then... i hope all goes with with you two. Just wait a while, continue to talk and all, then he'll come around. and VOILA! lol...

i'm so jealous....tired of being lonely!!!!!!!!!

Everyone has a different opinion on what pretty is. So don't worry about it. If he likes you, then obviously it doesn't matter. Plus, he'd be a jerk to not date you because his ex is "prettier".

The inside is what counts. As long as you don't look like a deformed turkey, I think your chances are looking pretty good. He likes you for a reason, he just needs time to recover from a past relationship. Makes sense to me. Be patient if you want him.

By the way, my paranoia is kicking in. What is his ex's name?
