my boyfriend thinks he’s ugly

we’ve been together for three years, this being his first relationship and my first serious one. he takes good care of himself, is polite, everyone knows he’s the smartest person in a room. dude is a genius. to me, he’s very pretty. pretty in an androgynous way, but not to where he looks like a girl at all. his beautiful features are very soft and he’s tall and skinny. he’s unique but not so unique that he makes you wanna jump out of your skin. if you like big hairy sweaty men then yeah i would avoid him but he’s very pretty.

but, being his first relationship, i think he thinks that’s why he says that no one finds him attractive. and he doesn’t wail about it but he’s said point blank “i’ve never met someone who finds me attractive.” it just really bums me out. i know no one’s gonna come up to him and tell him that they’d fuck him, but hell, me neither!! i’ve lost weight and started displaying myself in a way that i think i’m at least a little cute but no one approaches me. it’s just how things are.

but i wish someone would flirt with him. or tell me that they’re jealous. or be openly attracted to him. i don’t know why, there’s no real point and i honestly think it might creep him out, but i can’t be the only one on the planet who thinks he’s the most gorgeous thing ever. sorry for the rant. i’m kind of confused myself about why i care so much
