new man and physical attraction

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?

Vibes seem good....

Do you think it's an age thing. We're no longer teenagers and the buzz just isn't there any more as we age?

When I met someone on a blind date I didn't fancy him at all but he was a lovely guy so agreed to go out with him again. We were both pretty shy but I wanted to get the first kiss done Grin. It did take a couple of weeks but I really started to fancy him. We are married now and he is hot hot hot Grin.

I wish that was the case unlucky - still manage to become overcome by lust even at my age! Lovely story TOF.
