To think he is too good to be true

[Confused009]

New man I've been dating for a while seems too good to be true. Now I know this might be a liitle snobbish but his attributes are...

Funny, generous, impeccable manors... very much English gentleman
Consultant doctor
Good age (5 years older)
Owns own home
Good family
Privileged upper middle class background
Very good looking and tall
Dresses well, smells lovely
All his own teeth

He is too good to be true... why is he single!

My husband was similar, with even more amazing stuff on his 'CV' (not just work related).

10yrs later, he is THAT good and amazing. I will say though that he also has his weaknesses. He's not a talker and quite sensitive/defensive so goes into himself when he really should be talking about things. His self esteem isn't amazing. But other than that, he really is the artic exploring ironman, moral, kind, sexy, academic high achiever, charity working, skills driven, big reading, broad thinking, great in bed, family man I thought he was after speaking to him for 5mins that first time.

Go for it. But don't let your impression of him now cloud your judgement as you learn more about the at-home version of him.

I went out with a student doctor when I was doing my teacher training-I thought I didn't have much free time! It was draining to barely see him, even when he wasn't working he was studying (understandable) but we would literally have the odd coffee (uni was close to the hospital) or I'd go round for the evening but he'd be falling asleep... it's so full on I can understand how it becomes a way of life! It's probably the case that your doc can now concentrate a bit more on his personal life having achieved what he wanted in his career? Give him a chance he sounds great!

Ex wives
Kids

I've been in relationships where I'm not as posh and there's been some mild to moderate judginess from relatives. Hope he's a great shag. That would seal the deal for me.

Divorced friend of mine , two grown up kids , she approaching 50 met single man, virgin, never been in a relationship met man of similar age.
He was just one of those men who got left on the shelf.
They've had about 12 years together now.

38, he's still a bairn!

See, it's all subjective anyway. (while we wait for OP)

Personally i wouldn't go for that type. So not 'mr perfect' in my eyes at all. Therefore IMO no reason to wonder why he's still single any more than any other man. Interesting stuff.

Hi, I wanted to start a similar thread. I met someone just over 3 months ago and he seems too good to be true too! Such a lovely man and refreshingly fun and easy going! Enjoy I'm sure he's lovely and you're just maybe not used to it!

Sorry this is meant to be lighthearted!

I'm sure he has faults... just thought he was such a gentleman ok last date it was almost too good to be true!

His job, background and financial status is really irrelevant but I guess it helps that we are both medics and understand each other's career paths and work commitments. Would be the same for any professionally driven person.
