I don’t think she’s into me

Dating has always been difficult for me. I’ve tried hard, believe me, but my face isn’t exactly something anyone enjoys looking at. Every place I go, it has been something like a reoccurring joke. My unattractiveness often being the punchline. I don’t mind at times, but some times it really gets me down. I’ve done things to improve myself, follow fashion advice, work out, and my personality has really bloomed! People often say I’m a funny guy, which I take pride in! But, it’s a struggle to really shine when it seems like no one wants to get to know me.

I went out with a very lovely lady I met on Bumble to a bakery. A first get-to-know-you kind of date. To be honest, I was head over heels for her. I wish my words could do justice to describe how fantastic she really is! She’s driven, works hard, has goals, and has a smile that could make a snake blush.

This is really the first date I’ve ever been on, so I don’t know how people do things. I texted her a few times after our bakery excursion, but she never replies. She says it’s because she’s very busy with work and her studies, which I understand. It’s finals week after all. But I can’t help but think she’s just not that into me. So I haven’t pestered her to chat with me, I don’t want to stress her before her exams.

I’m just confused. She wants to go on a second date, so I guess I must be doing something right. I don’t know. I’m just scared that I might lose her, this wonderful lady. Maybe I’m thinking too hard. I’ll be gone for two weeks for work and will not be able to communicate, so who knows what her feelings might be when I come back.

All I want is someone to look at me the way my mom looks at my dad.
