There is a guy you are taking an interest in.

He isn’t perfect.

You are aware of that.

There are factors to his personality and lifestyle that intrigue you.

You have told your mother about him and she told you that you are settling for him.

Her mindset is wrapped around the inescapable reality that you aren’t physically attracted to him.

You are hoping that as you get to know him over time, a physical attraction develops.

There are factors that you like about this guy and you aren’t so willing to ditch him before confirming whether developing a physical attraction for him is feasible.

Listen, though you have butted heads with your mother in the past, she is right in this instance.

Not having a physical attraction for this guy is a major impediment.

You want to do the noble thing and give this guy an opening to romance, given the fact that you like several factors of his personality and lifestyle, but before doing this, do yourself a favor in looking back on your dating history.

Have you ever dated a guy you weren’t physically attracted to?

Have you ever dated a guy you weren’t physically attracted to, but developed a physical attraction for over time?

If you don’t have a history in doing any of these, it’s likely that you are headed in the wrong path with this guy.

No matter what political correctness in today’s society would have you believe, human beings are innately visual creatures.

We date who we are physically attracted to.

This goes for you too.

You have had a history of dating men you were physically attracted to first and foremost.

It’s unlikely this proclivity is destined to change.

We are creatures of habit.

Without a history of having successfully dated men who weren’t physically attractive to you, you are entering new territory.

Oftentimes, we as human beings take this risk when there has been a dearth of better dating options in our lives.

Think about your dating life in recent history.

Has it been filled with the types of men you would normally be attracted to, or has it been slim pickings?

Be careful that you aren’t considering the potentiality of romance with this guy because you haven’t had many offers from men you are traditionally attracted to.

When you go down this path, you lead yourself and the guy on.

It’s rare that a woman reaches a point where she feels physical attraction for a guy in this context.

Normally, for her to develop a physical attraction to him, there was at least a degree of physical attraction to begin with.

Perhaps she liked his eyes or jawline.

That wasn’t enough for her to have a full-blown physical attraction for him, but there was something there.

When there is absolutely no physical attraction for a guy, it’s nigh impossible to ever arrive at a moment in time where you have developed genuine physical attraction for him, regardless of how long you take to get to know him.

Know this going in.

The last thing you want is to waste your time on a hopeless quest, and lead him on while doing so.
