[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was going to turn down the date as there is no attraction at all, nada, zero. But he was so polite, and an all round nice guy at the office. Not even sure why I accepted to go on a date.

24 years later we are still married and it is the best decision I made in my life. Surprisingly find him more attractive now than ever. [/quote]

I had a rule in my own mind that I would never date anyone who was divorced but decided to 'hang out' with a guy anyway, bearing in mind that I would never be serious about someone like him.  We are now married
and have three children.  THe 'rules' seem like a really good idea at the time, but lots of times they are things you make up in your own mind that don't really hold up in the real world.

I think there's also a difference between 'he's not my type/I'm not attracted to him' vs.  finding someone repulsive.  I think it's possible to find yourself attracted to someone who was not initially your type, but probably impossible to get
over bigger issues like baldness, fatness, etc. [/quote]
