For the majority of your life, there is a physical appearance and personality that you gravitate to in who you date.

This is your type.

The type of person who triggers a specific emotional reaction from you.

A specific emotional reaction akin to the feeling of butterflies.

With such an emotional high, it never fails that you end up falling in love with this type of guy.

Nonetheless, the end result is a constant.

All those butterflies only led to a relationship that failed.

An encore occurs with the subsequent relationship and the next, ad infinitum.

Needless to say, you build a history of heartbreaking disappointments dating guys who are your usual type.

One fateful night, you are out with your friends socializing on a weekend and notice a guy who isn’t your usual type.

This guy sees you and comes over.

He opens up a conversation with you.

Within a few minutes he has you laughing out loud.

You suddenly realize that you are feeling emotions with this guy that is usually only reserved for guys who are typically your type.

Yet, he isn’t your type.

His physical looks aren’t what you are usually attracted to.

His personality isn’t rough around the edges and gruff like you are used to in the men you are typically attracted to.

Yet, this guy has you laughing and having such a good time.

By the time the night is done and you are leaving the social venue, you have exchanged phone numbers with him and are looking forward to talking to him again.

Already, you are visualizing seeing him again, wondering about what that would be like.

He reaches out to you a day or two later, and the next thing you know, you are out on a date with him.

Just as you were the first time you met him at the social venue, he has you laughing and having a riot of a time on the date.

By the end of the first date, he gives you an amazing kiss, and it’s as though time stopped.

In consequent weeks, there are more amazing dates, and within a few months you have fallen in love with him.

This scenario is entirely possible, especially when you have already had a history of failed relationships dating guys who were your usual type.

With so much past disappointment, it is natural for you to eventually come to a place where you don’t want to experience that disappointment again.

This is where, unbeknownst to you, there is an openness to someone of a different type.

The first clear sign of it is when you meet him at a social venue and he comes over to talk and you are laughing and having a great time.

You didn’t consciously know that your mind and body were ready to entertain the possibility of dating a man who isn’t your type, and yet, it has happened.

People who fall in love with someone who isn’t their type have usually had a history of failed relationships dating guys who were their type.

They don’t consciously make a decision to change their type.

It’s something that just happens and takes you by surprise.

Notwithstanding, on a subconscious level your mind was already preparing you for this.
