I'm not an attention whore, but I like attention. When I was single, I attracted many guys which made me feel attractive. For a person who's self conscious, I needed that validation.
Now that I am in a serious relationship, I don't feel that way anymore. I attempt to dress up and make myself feel beautiful. I am rarely told that I am. I don't meet any guys either since I work and go home. I'm aging as well so it just makes me feel worse.
Once in a while, I get a chance to go out with friends in social settings like a lounge or club. Guys still approach me, even the cutest one in the club. I don't flirt or hide the ring on my finger. All that matters is that I still got it. I feel young and pretty again.
I wish I didn't have to seek attention from other guys to feel beautiful. If only the guy I am with would make me feel that way...
