I think that you see yourself as beautiful because of your non-standard abilities (mermaids = strange and exotic, your hobbies = strange and brainy). You're afraid that people in authority figures (ie. the boy's father) will not approve of you because of your oddities. You are searching for someone, like this guy in your dreams, who will accept you for who you are, despite or because of your oddities.
In truth, your hobbies aren't that weird. They're just not the ones that are always the "coolest" ones to be involved in. There are plenty of cowboys who want to live on a ranch with horses and such. There are plenty of guys who like smart girls. You might just be having some trouble finding them right now because of your location, age, etc. Just keep doing what you love doing and you'll end up finding someone who loves the same things you do. :content:
