So I have a date tomorrow night.  WIth a contractor from work no less.
 
I saw he had a profile on the dating site I am on.  I sent him a message and he messaged me back.  He said that he was interested in getting to know me better and we exchanged phone numbers.
 
We've been on the phone every night since...for like 3 hours at a time.  He's a really, really nice guy, and he's definitely not a player or a conceited jerk.  We seem to be getting along great.  He stopped by work today and had lunch with me, which was a little awkward only because I was still at work, but he seems sooooo excited for tomorrow.  I don't remember the last time a guy was excited over me and it feels great.  He said that all the guys at the shop call me the "hot girl from (place of work)" and that he's their hero.....lol.
 
The only thing is that he's not my usual type.  I'm really, really attracted to tall, muscular guys.  I mean, they really get my motor running.  He's not that at all.  He's not very tall, not muscular, really slim, he shaves his head because he's balding...he's cute, but today at lunch, I kept looking at him and wondering if I was really attracted to him or not, or if I'm acting on desperation because I've had no one interested in me lately.  Usually, I know right off the bat whether it's a yes or no, so the indecision is bothering me.
 
I dont' want to come across as a shallow person or anything, but attraction is huge for me.  I'm not one of those people that is going to put in the time in hopes that a person has a great personality if they aren't necessarily my type in appearance.  I like getting the butterflies and sweaty palms by merely looking at my crush.  I want to get all rev'd up just by getting a glimpse.  I don't know if this contractor guy does it for me.
 
I know, I know, go on the date and see how it goes.  I'm just hoping my indecision doesn't prevent me from giving it a fair shot...I know how I can be sometimes.....

    i hope you go and have a good time and don't think too much about whether he's the "type" or not.  it's fun just to get to know each other-  and it's only a date, right?  have a few of them before you decide.

    I did go and I did have a good time.  He seems really smitten by me, and that's kinda nice...I don't remember the last time that has happened...not since D at least.  He was really sweet...opening doors, ushering me into the car, holding my hand crossing the street.  We went for a great dinner, and a walk along the riverfront.  I'm trying to just run with it.  I'm trying not to get caught up on all of those little things that make me back out.  Despite what I've written here before about dating, I am really picky....

    I was glad to read that your date went well.  Do you think you'll see him again?

    He's supposed to come by my place tonight.  We're going for ice cream.  I don't know.  I'm just afraid that I'm buying into all of this because there is nothing else going on and he's all I can get.  I know I can take my time with this, but....*sigh*  I don't know....

    Ask yourself if it feels right.  Being dreamy and making you swoon with his attractiveness doesn't necessarily make a man THE one for you.  Could it be you have a diamond in the rough before you?  Only you know.  I wish you the very best of luck.  :-)

    do you get excited about seeing him at all?  ,like before hand rather than during, more often than not its the before hand excitement and butterflies i enjoy most- but if there not there i fear it may not be a good sign...

    you clearly enjoy his company and conversation though and he is making you feel special- maybe you dont realise how much you like him becasue all the focus is on how much he REALLY likes you.  perhaps you're feelings dont match his and therefore it seems like you dont have them?

    ooooooft dating is complicated!

    Hey Guys.  Thanks for the comments.  It didn't turn out.  He was way too serious about our hanging out way too fast.  He was needy and clingy and indecisive and just not for me.
