Lads (or possibly girls could give me their opinion too)

There's this lad, I'm in the process of getting with him now. We have agreed to leave sex until we are totally together, as at the moment we are just in the dating process to see how things work. However I'm worried... I have always been self concsious about my figure (I wouldn't say I was fat, I'm size 12) but I just hate my figure, I have a bit of a belly on me, and worst of all I have like stretch marks round my hips and at the top of my legs an even a few on my boobs, and it repulses me as I don't know why they are there, because as I said I am really not fat. I have been on a diet to try and loose some weight, I'm fitting in size 10 jeans now, but the marks haven't gone... I have read on the net that they will never go. But I'm just scared as it is going dead well at the moment, and I fear that once we see each other and I strip he will run a mile or hate what he sees and its beginnin to really bug me, its on my mind all the time, my friends say if he loves you it won't matter, but it will to me, I don't want to repulse him, is it normal for girls to worry? And lads what would you think of a few marks round the hips and stuff? I'm scared! Thanks any help will be muchly appreciated!

You know its interesting another friend of mine asked me a similar question the other night, and you know there are TWO things physical I look for in a woman and TWO things only...

1 she has nice eyes
2 she has a nice smile

So don't beat yourself up, you'll be fine :)

Yes, breathing is normally the number one things men worry about.

Once they clothes start coming men are on a one track mind in general.

And girl, size 12 is far from large, check out those size 24 at walmart and sit and watch the walmart shoppers one day and you will feel a lot prettier real fast.
