Sarah, it is hard for people to understand why you are negative about your looks when it is not them who have the underbite / overbite etc. My husband gets very annoyed with me when I do the female thing and moan about the way I look. All we do is focus on one area and fixate on it, whereas someone looking at us see the whole picture. I feel for you, I have always suffered with low self esteem and even now at 40 I find it hard to talk to people I don't know too well if they are looking at my face. I have been told I am attractive but find it hard to see why anyone thinks that.
But the goods news is we are doing something positive to change all of this. Your date will come around sooner than you think and it will all be worthwhile in the end. I have scoured the internet for before and after pics and I have yet to see one where I haven't been impressed with the outcome.
Good luck to you, oh and believe people when they say you are beautiful they wouldn't say it if they didn't mean it.
