Can they grow on you...?

I'm expecting a bit of a kicking here for being so shallow! Met a Tinder date not so long ago. It went well as in we got on great and didn't stop laughing. But whilst he was okay enough I didn't really fancy him. I just kept thinking "I don't know you, I don't know you, this is so awkward, this is so forced" when I've fallen for anyone they were people I already knew anyway not strangers on the internet. Anyway I decided I wasn't romantically interested... a bit too short, didn't like his accent, didn't like his nails, cringed when he made a couple of clumsy comments. The Ick I think it's called although not "icky" enough to run totally away because he seems very decent and caring and he's funny. So I messaged him and said I'd love to stay in touch as friends but don't see a romantic thing etc (yes I know I'm a picky twat and he should have told me to fuck right off). Anyway he was very gracious and we met again... as friends... and I'm not sure... but talking to him and observing him I felt a couple of very unexpected flutters. When I saw him I thought "actually you're a bit more attractive than I saw last time how's that?" He has nice teeth, he has great strong arms, a really really attractive job. He smells amazing. Nothing happened and although we're meeting up again ASAP I'm still not sure it will... but something stirred... just very slightly. I think. Maybe. Kind of. Ish. For all I know he might lose interest anyway I'm not Jennifer Lawrence myself it's not that I think I'm too good for someone or anything. It just seems to take AGES to kick in for me. Have you ever cancelled out the things you weren't so keen on and ended up feeling more of the good in time after being more familiar with them? For the record I absolutely know it takes a personality to make someone beautiful and looks aren't everything! But sexual chemistry is...

Whilst attraction can grow please don't feel like you have to force it, it is NOT superficial to not be interested in someone you aren't attracted to.
