I've recently met a nice, interesting man, we've been on a few dates and they've been really enjoyable and we have lots in common. I've slept with him and whilst the sex wasn't earth-shattering it was relaxed and enjoyable. It all feels a bit strange to me though because I haven't been overcome by those tingly feelings (based on lust no doubt) that I've always felt in the early stages of all my relationships.
He's really attracted to me and when I look at him and he touches me I feel sort of warm and contented but I'm not hugely attracted to him physically. But neither am I turned off by him. I'm in my early 50s and have a history of being with the wrong men and I'm thinking that perhaps the lack of overwhelming chemistry is a good thing and means we can build something based on true compatibility. Or am I just kidding myself? Has anyone experienced a similar start to a relationship and how did it pan out?
