Geri - You are here and that is very important! I'm glad there's someone you like and who you thinks likes you back! That is so much fun and should be part of your experiences right now.
Definitely, the way you feel about yourself is going to effect the way you relate to others. The fact that you may be suffering from depression will show only if you let it. It's hard to be confident, I know. But, in the beginning of a relationship, the other person doesn't have to know everything about you.
This is who you are right now. Things happen for a reason, I firmly believe that. The person you are right now is shaped by the fact that you're not feeling too good on the inside. But, it may also make you more sensitive to what others are feeling, etc. It may bring out qualities in you that could be attractive in ways you never imagined! Just watch out for the guys who sense a vulnerability in a girl and zero in on it - they can become manipulative. I know I sound cynical, but it's a natural human tendency to be drawn to someone stronger than you and for a strong person to be drawn to someone who's weak. Make sure YOU are still in charge of Geri, you make the decisions for you.
Keep working on the friendship side with this guy. If it's meant to be, it'll develop into more. Have fun!!!
