So, here’s a question. Should you agree to a date with someone who you don’t find all that physically attractive, or physically attractive at all?

I went on a date with someone who I knew I did not fancy. He had contacted me on facebook because we have a mutual friend and we had had some chats on messenger. He had asked me lots of questions about myself and my kids (he has kids also) and he had told me various things about his life. We had stuff in common. He had mentioned a few times that we should ‘hang out’ and as I had a child free night one evening I made plans to meet him.

I found myself looking at his facebook pages trying to find something about him to fancy. I couldn’t. I had spoken to a few friends about it and the consensus was that I should give him a go. A date is just a date after all. A chance to meet him in person. That I might fall in-love with his personality etc. I hoped that I would.

I didn’t. I sat opposite him on that date and searched for an ounce of chemistry, it wasn’t there. Not for me anyway.

Is this harsh? I don’t know. Probably. At least i’m being honest.

What are the chances that I will be on the receiving end of this treatment? Highly likely.

Would I do it again? Yes. If I had not gone on that date I would have always wondered what might have been. So I’m glad I did it. I met a new person. I had a nice time. Most importantly, now I know. I know my search continues.

End note: When he asked me on date number 2, I turned him down in an honest but kind manner. There’s no other way to be.
