Feel like I’m not truly living cause of this..

I know it’s going to sound so stupid but it’s how I feel and I just wanted some advice from you ladies on here on what I should do and how I can get past this..

So I’m talking to this guy and it’s been so long since I went on a date with anyone and I really want to meet him because it’s been like 1 month and I keep standing him up, making excuses all because of my TEETH.

I don’t have the greatest teeth. Their straight, their not discolored but I have struggled for awhile now with grinding my teeth so the front ones on top are pretty short at this point. It makes me so insecure every single day just to talk to people, smile, and now go on dates- I don’t even want to because of it. It saddens me because I feel like it’s hindering me from going out and being social and meeting new people.

He wants to come over later and I’m tempted to do it and just say fuck it but then again- I’m afraid of what he may think & then how I feel if it goes to shit after that. We have great conversation and he’s been persistent and patient with me and tbh I’m shocked he even still wants to meet me after all the times I said we can meet and then I get nervous and cancel.

I guess my question is, what do you think I should do or how do I go about this crappy feeling I have?

Thank you!🙏🏼
