Has it ocurred to you that you get to know someone whose looks are not that way so impressive, but she/he is nevertheless so attractive as to catch more than a simple glimpse? Yes, of course. That’s because many people have an internal “aura” that shines so intensely as to project beauty to the outside.

In fact, I can remember an old episode of my younger life when I met Rose. It was through the MSN, about 8 years ago when the cheat-chat wave was high on its crest. It was quite a lof of coincidence, or maybe it was a matter of fate. She got confused with the nick of one of her classmates and in terms of minutes we started one of the greates friendships to ever be lived.

Months were passing through at a high speed and our friendship began to grow day after day, word after word written through the MSN channel. And, why shouldn’t I hide it from you, I suddenly and increasingly felt in love with her. Without ever touching her hand. Not even seen her face at any time of my life!

That’s when I decided to test what our relationship could become. I asked her the best way I managed to meet each other. The place was nothing but unimportant, the time should fit to as soon as possible. When I first proposed a place, she felt a little reluctant. She tried to avoid replying directly. Evasiveness was her technique.

But when fate is what it takes, fate does a good job to join two hearts. And that was what happened. I knew her name, and I knew where she studied, but I never stopped to think that I could meet her if she didn’t allow it (and desired it) first. So, it was so unexpectedly weird that one of my old high school pal also happened to be an old friend of hers.

I was talking to Ryan about her. He was at about hysterical laughter but listening to my story, paying complete attention to it. When I replied to his question about the name of my “digital princess” his face went so pale that I started wondering if I had told him anything wrong.

– I know her.

– Are you damned sure? It might be a different Rose G.?

– No way. It’s the same Rose G. that studies at G.D. College.

Then, it was just a matter of hours. She decided that now that she had a reference of me – of course, our dear friend, Ryan – she felt confident enough as to invite me to her department. It was in downtown, a 20–storey block, as old as the time, but nevertheless so romantic and inspiring. I knocked at her door. She was waiting. I felt surprised. She was wearing one of those homecoming gowns that I was going to remember, probably until the sun explodes.

She was not beautiful. Her face, though regular was not exactly nice. She was fit, but her body was not exactly a top model’s. Her eyes were of a deep blue, but what made her unique was what she seemed to project from the inside, a kind of perfect simmetry between what was visible what was not. A part of her soul seemed to shine brightly on her face. All of her poured charm and “classe” all over the place. It was HER. The ONE.

After 2 years, Rose became my wife. But that’s a story that I will tell you later.

What I wanted to point out is that, even though you don’t have the best look, if you feel confortable with yourself and have enough self-confidence you can also seem nice and attractive to the rest of the mortals. Remember that not all the people are so exigente as to require so high standards of physical beauty, but surely most of the people (that you can target) will really love you for you are. And what you can project to them.
