I wasted a few months in a relationship like this. Never again.

If I was really turned off by them, their actions, etc. and really wasn't enjoying them I probably wouldn't waste their time or my own.

For me, I need to have that initial physical attraction..I don't care how sweet, smart, funny...whatever they are if I don't have the physical attraction there will be no point...
But then I guess thats why my friends call me a shallow bitch...and a whore..and....Hey!...S ome friends?? L0L

I don't really see the point in being with someone who doesn't find me attractive.

I guess until I was sure I couldn't find him attractive. Or until I felt I might be hurting him or leading him on

If I genuinely liked the person but wasn't physically attracted to them I would probably be honest about that fact as nicely as possible. I would also openly admit that attraction for me results after I get to know someone. That being said if he/she wanted to continue 'dating' then I would just focus on having fun and let the chips fall where they will. The important part for me is the person not being lead on believing something permanent will develop unless I was sure it might. I don't want to be hurt that way and I don't want to hurt someone else that way either. If they met/found somene who gave him/her what he/she was looking for then I would want to celebrate that.

The first picture my husband sent me when we were about to date online kind of creeped me out. lol He was so sweet, though, and I did plenty of background checks on him with friends and whatnot. I'm glad I stuck with him.

I don't have the patience to wait around and see if physical attraction develops, lol.

I'd probably give them 2 or 3 dates, after that if there was no chemistry I would end it.
