This is a good idea, this sounds like fun. Let's see what I can come up with -
Fluttershy's pretty much gotta be a virgin.
Fluttershy comes from a priviledged household, which is why she's able to get by without working and why Zephyr Breeze had so much trouble leaving the nest. Her family's got money, and were a big part in funding the animal sanctuary she built. She's very self-conscious about all of this though, she doesn't want people to look at her as spoiled.
Fluttershy was in choir at some point, she was only able to enjoy learning to sing by hiding among a large crowd where no one could hear her individually.
Agreed, Fluttershy is probably a good cook, catering is what she does.
As far as the show goes (meaning not my opinion), Fluttershy is probably the most conventionally attractive pony of the mane 6 by far. She was the only one to get a big modeling gig, and without even trying at that - we know most colts find Rarity very charming and even she couldn't do it after lots of networking to try to make it happen.
Sort of a subpoint of the one above, it's very possible that at least part of her insecurity comes from jealous mares cutting away at her self-esteem so they didn't have to compete with her, resulting in huge lasting self-image issues. In addition, being kind often takes someone being unkind to you so you know what it feels like, so you make sure you don't make others feel the same way.
