You asked me to answer this question.... so although it's harder probably said than for you to become more confident with guys, if a guy has approached you and would like to see you, he shouldn't care about these things like seeing you on a 'bad day'. My boyfriend saw me with no makeup on the day we became 'official'. If she guy judges you for what you naturally look like, he is honestly not worth your time so don't worry about what they think :) just go for it and see how things work out and experiment with a few guys until you feel comfortable :).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
