Is it normal to be afraid of dating someone because of what others would think?

Not me being embarrassed of them! (that's what the title sounds like..) I have pretty low confidence when it comes to my looks and I'm so worried that others will always be questioning why someone is dating me or talking about how ugly I am. I think this particular fear is so strong because when I got my first boyfriend in 6th grade, he immediately told the girl next to us we were dating and she said "Ew, you have bad taste in girls", and laughed... I'm 22 now, lol, but I can't forget that. The guy I like right now is really good looking, and if he asked me out, I'm not sure I'd say yes... Just because of this..

    Guess what? Haters will hate, start thinking about you and your happiness and forget what others think.

    First off: I know, it's next to impossible to (strongly) improve one's self-esteem.

    However.

    You do realize that by feeling the way you do you are putting the opinion of these other people above the opinion of a person who might genuinely like you, right? This is not good.

    Living your life worrying about what anybody else thinks is just not going to benefit you at all.
    Fuck 'em ALL if they don't like it. Live your life to the fullest and don't give any thought at all to what others may think about who you are dating or why.

    I was offered sex multiple times in highschool. The reason I'm still a virgin is because I was so appalled that someone would actually want to have sex with me that I refused, every time. I'm voting normal - I have the same problems with dating, actually.
