not attracted to my guy


Question Posted Sunday July 6 2008, 12:05 am

I've been seeing this guy for about a month now, but we haven't officially started a relationship together. I am positive he is interested in me, but I'm not sure about my feelings. He's a good guy and all my friends approve and my parents like him. He's very talented and into music and he's pretty easy-going. And he treats me with a lot of respect(opens doors, pays for dinner, good manners). But I don't know if he's my type- I'm athletic and outdoorsy, and he doesn't like to work out (and he's slightly overweight). We get along well, but he's not my dream guy...

Point is, I'm a busy girl, I don't normally invest time in a relationship unless I think it will have potential. Is this guy worth sticking with?

If your friends and parents approve, he's not the right guy. Kidding aside, never base anything in your life on others approval. The main reason I say this is, most people are competitive and don't want you to do better then them. They may seem like they do, but most really don't.

I have passed up many opportunities in life because of the non-approving parent or friend saying, "You can't do that", only to have someone else do it later. The same goes for approval, if you go through life seeking approval all the time, you will pass up countless opportunities and your life will not be yours in the end.

Dating, etc.., is about finding the person that you can spend your life with. If you already know you can't spend your life with him, why date him?

here are your options. best & worst case scenario

1. youll be wasting your time with a guy you arent attracted to & eventually end it.

2. youll start liking him & date for a while but end it eventually when you realize how un-attracted to him you are. this will cause you lots of heartbreak.

3. youll stay with him forever, & end up marrying a guy you arent attracted to when you could have found a really nice guy who treats you right & that you are attracted to.







can you think of a better option? if not, then you shouldnt go out with him.
best of luck!
