She's Out of My League

'She's Out of My League' is an American romantic comedy film that involves 2 main characters - Kirk Kettner, a low self-esteem, unaccomplished aviation security officer and Molly McCleish, a beautiful and seemingly perfect events planner. The storyline banks on how a loser he was and yet how he does wish to have Molly as his partner. There were doubts by himself, his friends and his family, but never Molly. Afterall, he has believed that he was indeed only a '5' while Molly has scored a perfect '10' (out of a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the most attractive).

In relationships, it isn't about the comparison of scores. My fiancee and I got together because we believed that we were a '10' each as an individual - we were complete as a person, which includes having the right amount of self-esteem and we could function adequately without the presence of the other half. And that self-belief is the basis of our relationship.

I look back at how far our relationship has progressed. I am glad that each of us did not have low self-esteem to start off with. Because if we had, we would not have experienced that happiness in relationships goes beyond a scale of 10. In relationships, it's more about the combination of individual cores.
