I would have to say dont worry about his past girls friends those were in the past even if he brags that they were pretty you are with him now so that makes you the better one.I have once thought in my life that i was not pretty when i really was but my self esteem was so low. But I said you know what i was made this way and iam going to be happy with it. so just be happy with who you are you are beautiful in your own way.

Just tell him that you found his remarks very hurtful.  If he's still your friend, hopefully he finds something other than good looks interesting about you.  I'm not pretty, either, but I have a nice personality (even though I do say it myself) and I ended up with a good husband who loves me for that rather than any good looks.  Good looks fade; a pleasant and caring nature doesn't.  If your friend can't see that beauty is only skin deep, he still has a lot to learn.  And you'll have to learn to forgive his shallowness in that respect.

This is a long process but a worthy one. My husband was simillar but not to that degree. You can build him up by telling him how attractive he is a lot, and how great he is at things as much as you can. There is no compliment too small for those in your man's shoes. Now, when he gets down on himself you need to look him in the eye and tell him that he can do whatever he wants. Then just tell him that you believe in him and always will. Tell him his parents didn't know what they were talking about because you see a strong, independent and capable man. A man to be admired and followed.

He may be shy. Or he might have a little OHH HOO and is embarassed about it.

Take it for what it is meant to be: He cares about you. Stop trying to look for something negative in his compliments.

If he's a good guy, try to get to know him better, and he will tell you (or his friends will tell you :)

Listennnnn... Can i be real with you? I can... thank you. First off not all guys are jerks i know ladies i know there are dogs out there but there are some female dogs ( i aint gonna say it) out there too. But if you always on look out you might push away some real good guys. A good way to tell is look at his friends and how he acts with them if most of them are assholes he might be too. Ask other girls about him. Other thing is most girls let there friends pick there male counterpart I say what do you think do you feel he is? So Listennnnn to ya boy give him a chance you only live once.

depend s of the person(guy)\nsome guys always stear, some are more bold and come and say something, others say comments with their friends and tell them to say something to you.\nthere's lot of signals.\nbut if you suspect of something about someone , do your homework, start asking around, talk to his friends , do the same things as he does , \ndon't wait to find out, go look for it.\nOrbytall

It is typical for someone who has low self esteem to become attracted to someone who shows them kindness and attention.\n\nreaffirm the friendship\n\nFirmly deny any romantic interests.\n\nContinue to boost self esteem.\n\nIts good to see kindness still exists.

Most men who would not do not have alot of self confidence. They will look and say she is pretty, but dont believe they deserve someone that pretty. \nYou deserve a man who is confident, and loveing is comfortable in his skin. You must also believe in yourself and bleive for the man you want. Don fall for second best. \n\nAnd not good to tell a man he is second best. that is part of what makes men less confident in themselves. When leaving them just agree that you are not best for one another.

He's probably just not who/what he says he is. Or he has really low self esteem and no real life friends, and therefore can't handle being rejected based on his appearance. It is entirely possible that he has romantic delusions about you and doesn't want to risk losing that.

I've talked with girls who say they wish us guys came with a users manual. We can be hard to read sometimes. Try this. Look into his eyes. Do they lock onto you when you walk into the room, or do they dart around? Does he treat other girls like he does you? The greatest tool in knowing how someone feels is communicating with them. Find a quiet place where you're alone. Ask him what he's feeling about you. Give him time, and he'll open up if he's in love with you.

i totally had that problem because i had low self esteem. it was like "how could someone that great love me? im crappy" but then i started trying to see myself through his eyes. like, i am pretty sweet and i treat him great cos i love him so much. so then i accepted it...it just took time to see what he meant. plus he stuck with me through a lot of crappy times and a lot of shit that i did.
