I'm kind of the same way about myself. I don't hate myself, but despite what others say, I think of myself as fairly average in most aspects. I'm not ugly, but I don't think I'm really pretty... I'm not dumb, but I'm not a genius. Etc, etc. And that kind of thinking makes it hard to think you're ever going to stand out to an amazing guy and make him fall for you.
But the thing is... when I finally got out there and just started meeting people, I found a guy that I started hanging out with. And to my surprise, he finds my odd quirks amusing (he thinks my Josh obsession is "cute" and not creepy)... and despite all of my doubts and insecurities, it seems I've snagged him.
*shrug* I know that hearing other people tell you you're beautiful and smart and wonderful and have a great sense of humor or whatever doesn't quite help you believe it yourself... but I hope you realize that you have some good friends. And if you have good friends- that means you have people that want to be around you. Friend is more than half of boyfriend, and if you can attract friends... I'm sure you can attract guys! :)
Hope you feel better about the whole thing. I know it sucks to feel like you shouldn't think about something but you can't help it. :-\
