Firstly, I've namechanged as some of my RL friends know my nickname.
I've been chatting to a guy for a few months now via a dating site (plenty of fish). We exchanged mobile numbers about 3 weeks ago and have been texting/ringing ever since.
We've met up a couple of times now, he took me out for a meal and we've also had a couple of coffees together at different places.
The second time we met up, he came to pick me up and take me for a meal. He brought with him the biggest bouquet of flowers I've ever seen in my life . He's a lovely guy, says and does all the right things, doesn't want to rush things, keeps telling me that he wont ever push me and that we'll do things when I'm ready etc.
But the problem is, I dont find him physically attractive. When we're emailing/texting/talking on the fone, I really fancy him, he makes me smile and makes me feel like I'm the only woman in the whole world. He actually may be the 'perfect man' for me in that respect!
I'd love to make this work as we really do get on great etc. but I'm not sure if it can work when I'm not attracted to him physically. Can this come with time? Can I 'learn' to be attracted to him? Or is this potential relationship dead before its even started?
I really am at a loss as to what to do with this, please tell me I can work on how I feel when I'm actually with him
