You know, bluedog, some of us just have trouble believing we're attractive when we are. I know some guys with bad teeth and scraggly hair -- wait, did I just describe half of Australia? -- who are popular due to their innate self-confidence (hard to have when you've been raised by the wrong sort of parents, I know), and who are terribly amusing.
It's true that looks plays a part in attraction, but sometimes you need to be willing to accept that someone likes you, and be open to the signals. (This does _not_ mean you oughtta give back rubs to girls you just met -- very creepy!)
Most of us just want to be with someone who looks decent, has things in common with us, and is good to us. So maybe you oughta brush off those glasses that tell you you're a loser and start noticing the girls that check you out. :D

p.s. i am a huge nerd. young lesbians in town flee when they see me because being seen talking to the eccentric with tics would mean been 'uncool.' it was a miracle that i met a decent, kind-hearted, beautiful woman who loves me -- and is actually also a young lesbian. but it can happen to you too!
