Tl;Dr A guy I’m seeing has a lot going for him and I don’t and I don’t want to hold him back.
I’ve (F20) been talking to this guy (M23) I met on Hinge a lot since we matched. He is so kind and so different from anyone I’ve dated in the past. He doesn’t seem to mainly be after sex and he actually tries to get to know me. He also makes music and really good art. He has a YT channel with around 30k subscribers where he posts his art so he actually makes some decent money from that. He seems to be really emotionally intelligent and he’s vegan like myself for the animals. We also agree on some other very important things and have some common interests.
The thing is, I feel like I’m not worthy of this man. I’m not passionate about anything like he is about his art, his music and his fans. He seems to have it all figured out and he’s not depressed like myself. I don’t want to hold him back from what I know he could be if he just had someone on his own level there to support him. We do get along very well now but I’m not so sure that I could keep up with him if our relationship progresses to the next stage.
I know that a relationship like this could do so much for me. I’ve never even had a vegan friend before so just having someone to talk to about veganism without having to defend myself is priceless.
I don’t really know if this is relevant but I feel like maybe he is actually considering dating me just because of the way I look. Maybe he’s too blind to see that I’m not actually good for him.

you are good enough. this mindset killed alot of things for me. you can go up to par with him, grow with him or whatever, he can be a good influence. you are worthy. if he likes you, make him happy and be with him in however extent that you want.
You have meet someone that you like. Obvious. Don’t worry too much. Just be your authentic self. Just an advice, do take care of your mental health. May be, you should consider starting exercising and gym, if you haven’t. Believe me, it will help you to feel better. Keep doing it. For me it too me 1 year to come out from mild depression. All the best.
