Dating a gorgeous man

I’m going on a date with a very, very good looking man. Met him on Bumble. I am not a shallow person and understand that looks are certainly not everything - looks are fleeting. I’m interested in the connection. He seems very keen and has said how he thinks I’m so good looking and lovely, that he will be shy around me - and sorry if he is! He seems genuine and nice. He’s talked about how connection is more important than looks and yes people do comment on how he looks but he doesn’t take it seriously and it doesn’t matter.

Thing is - he is really that good looking! And I’m nervous. I’ve put on weight lately and I don’t feel very good. I’m already convinced he won’t fancy me. And I’ve had a horrible time on online dating lately.

Any words of wisdom?

For the anomalies for whom it works, the falling in "love" quickly, but for the vast majority being infatuated doesn't equal lasting love or relationship

I don’t think 2 months is too soon to know you’re falling in love. If you said you were madly in love, or moving in together or something then yes but I think after two months it’s normal to know if this is someone you will be in love with.

zonky by same principle, most relationships don’t work out 🤷‍♀️

My husband proposed after we had been together only one year so sometimes you just know. Now in our sixth year together and happier than ever. Good luck Op

That's right they don't

It sounds great and I'm wishing you all the happiness 😊
With my husband of 10+ years we knew this is it after few months.
(Or probably even earlier than that)

Really happy for you and knowing you're falling in love after two months isn't that unusual in my opinion. I'm 22 years with my husband, married 15 years and we knew within a few weeks that this relationship was different than previous ones for both of us, he had been in a long term relationship (over 10 years), engaged and living with his fiancée and I was the first person he dated after they split up, I was a single parent, fiercely independent and focused on my career and building a house for my dc and I, within a few weeks we just knew, didn't rush anything, we were together 7 years before getting married and didn't live together prior to that, my career fell asunder due to chronic illness and he started a business just before 2008 recession so tough few years but we still love each other, fancy each other and are each others best decision. I was the better looking when we met but he's turned into a right silver fox while illness has taken a toll on my appearance but it doesn't matter, when he hugs me I feel safe, loved and in love and he tells me often that he looks forward to getting home to see me after work, go for it with your guy, smile and remember you might just be hugging him in twenty years time.
