Dating someone you aren't physically attracted to

[WonderWoman1008]

Would you date someone you aren't physically attracted to?

I have very briefly chatted to a guy I've met online, although lives in our small town and I know of from out and about.
He seems like a nice guy from what I have heard but I am not in the slightest bit attracted to him.

I've been single now for nearly two years, came out of a 10 year relationship, dated two men since (2 dates each) but realised I wasn't ready... this was 7 months ago.
I feel I'm ready now but I don't want to waste this guys time, I'm not shallow or anything but it's playing on my mind.

Thanks!!

What a precious update! Congrats, OP. x

Fabulous! I was just coming on to say you should give him a try, I’m so glad you did. That’s a lovely ending.

I would go out with him but let him know for the time being at least it’s just as friends.

I have been shallow in the past and not accepted dates due to not finding the guys attractive and have regretted it as they were really great guys. Also attraction can grow.
