I've been single for nearly 2 year I have 3 boys who I love with all my heart but I was missing the company from a partner, so I joined a dating site which I was about to give up on, but I started talking to someone he has the nicest personality ever and we get on loads but the thing is his not my usual type I go for tall lads with tattoos.Anyway he told me he was bigger than the lads I've met before which I don't mind, So I met him and yes he is on the big size but I like him because of his personality I'm just worried my kids family and friends are going to take the mick as I am only small.

Never ever live your life to please others.
So what if they take the piss?
If you like him then go for it.
It's all about what's on the inside.
Your usual type hasn't worked so it's time to go for someone who like for who they are and not what they look like!

If you really like someone, then he's probably very likeable.

Those who care about you will soon get past the superficial.

OldUnit · 04/06/2019 09:28

He'd be gutted if he knew you were fretting over introducing him to your family and friends because of his size.

Woah, imagine if this was flipped and it was a guy posting this about a girl...

If you are embarrassed to be with the guy then frankly you don't deserve to be with the guy.

I'm just worried my kids family and friends are going to take the mick as I am only small.

You should not care what other people think, once you like him, he is good to you, and he is good to your kids once the time comes about who the feck cares what anyone else thinks??

I once went for someone who wasn't my type. We are TTC and building a house together.

Poor guy

thinkingcapon · 04/06/2019 16:19

He's tall you mean or fat?

RLEOM · 04/06/2019 16:22

Who cares? Date who you want to date! As long as he makes you happy. 😊

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 04/06/2019 16:23

Is he super tall or is he obese?

WhereForArtThouBray · 04/06/2019 16:26

I usually date muscly men with six packs and biceps... They have been without exception abusive. (not saying all fit men are abusive, just giving an honest account of my experience)

My current boyfriend is XXL, balding and short (taller than me still be short for a man).

He is also the most amazing boyfriend I have ever had. He is respectful, funny, loyal, hard working, kind, generous, supportive and an amazing lover.

Looks are over rated and its the person underneath who counts.

Shadow1234 · 04/06/2019 17:45

It's what's on the inside that counts! If he has a great personality and makes you laugh, then that is a great start to a relationship.

FilledSoda · 04/06/2019 18:31

You're not seriously going to pass on a potentially great relationship in case people take the 'mick'.
That's insane !
This is your life and your happiness .

AnduinsGirl · 04/06/2019 18:33

This makes me sad. I'm the big one in my relationship. If I thought he was thinking like you are I would be heartbroken. Please don't be with him if this is how you feel about him.

Redglitter · 04/06/2019 18:34

Are you really so shallow that youd stop seeing someone you like because of what other people might think? If others opinion is so important let this guy find someone who deserves him

MrsLindor · 04/06/2019 18:41

My bf comes as a bit of a surprise to people, but I can't say I care what anyone thinks, I'm happy with him and my dc like him, that's all that matters.

Holdthedamndoor · 04/06/2019 19:48

Are you saying you are embarrassed by him?

And by big do you mean tall, muscley or are you talking about his weight?

apacketofcrisps · 05/06/2019 03:36

Leave him to find someone who is proud to be with him 🤷🏼‍♀️

Scott72 · 05/06/2019 05:52

"And by big do you mean tall, muscley or are you talking about his weight?"
She said her normal type is "tall lads with tattoos", so I assume she means his weight. Though isn't "tall with tattoos" most most women prefer?

Holdthedamndoor · 05/06/2019 06:07

Scott72 I assume she means that. I just wanted to clarify.

Not sure most women like tall and tattooed. My dp is though, so I obviously do Grin
