Plus Dating and Confidence

I’m a people watcher by nature. When it comes to plus dating and confidence, let me tell you that’s a winning combination. I was at the movies earlier today, and we got there a little early. Since we were sitting at the back of the theater, and there is stadium seating, I had a good view of couples walking in.

One of the things that I noticed when I watched people walk in was how comfortable they were with themselves. I probably wouldn’t have been doing that at all, but I saw something that captured my attention. I saw a plus size woman come in with a man, and she seemed to lack…well confidence. It was how she carried herself. She looked lovely in a nice outfit, but her body language said she wasn’t comfortable in herself.

After that, I started to watch other couples. I noticed the awkwardness of teenagers that aren’t quite dating yet, or just starting to date. I saw couples who had a general comfort together, and then I saw another woman.

She was heavy set, and she wasn’t dressed in more than a t-shirt and jeans…but she carried herself in a manner with her head held high, and her shoulders back. She exuded confidence. She was comfortable in her skin, and it showed. It was in her walk, in her purpose at that moment…her body was not her issue at hand.

And so, while you may be getting ready to go out on a date shortly, consider this….it’s not your plus size body that shows…it’s your confidence. When you are comfortable– it shows, and it’s beautiful. It doesn’t matter if you’re 10 pounds over weight or 50 pounds over weight. Maybe you’re 100 pounds overweight…people notice how you react, your movements, your personality. Let your confidence shine through, and let your troubles about your body image at home. You’re bound to have a much better time, and your date will see that too!
