How can I get over how shallow I am?

I met my boyfriend on WoW. We got along well, and did webcam and Skype and everything, and ended up in a relationship. We agreed to meet in London, and so we did yesterday.

He’s really sweet. I’m pretty, and although I’m not the skinniest girl around, he sais I’m beautiful. And he makes me feel special.

When I met him,I felt so horrible because I didnt want to look at him because I wasn’t attracted to him. I felt even worse because he kept telling me how lovely I was and even spent £36.00 on me in one go. Although, he is very high maintenance and I feel frustrated at some of the things he does, when he sais I don’t ‘get’ him or he is sometimes blatantly rude and there are things I wish he didn’t say. Is there some way I can get over that? I might just be worrying too much or letting doubt take over…

I just think now I’ve met him in person, things have changed. My sister and her boyfriend didn’t like him, and neither do my friends. And I know he has downsides but I feel I’m constantly trying to defend his corner and I think I’m losing..

Thankyou.
