Hi all,
I met a guy through match.com. We have been texting for 2 weeks everyday before we actually went on the first date. Even before we personally met, he seemed a very, very nice man. His pictures on match looked ok so I thought he is cute enough to meet. We found out that we have lots in common while texting. I actually forgot to mention that we live about 1 hour away from each other with no traffic.
We finally went on a date two weeks ago...He was nice enough to drive to my area. I picked the restaurant. We had a great time together sharing lots of things we had in common. We even had some chemistry and he kissed me at the end of the night. HOWEVER, even though it all seems perfect with him (personality, chemistry) I don't think he is the right guy for me. He looks a little heavy for me and I even think he has a problem with a leg because I think he was limping (not sure though). Even though we had chemistry, i keep thinking I want something better in looks. he is my height and a little heavy. I want a taller guy and thinner. But it is strange because I did find myself attractive to him...
Also, I have graduate studies and a very good job. He doesn't...he seems the type of a country boy who works as a manager at a sign store, went to college (I think) and since his divorce (he sold his house during the divorce) he has been paying rent/living in his parents house because he is taking care of them (83 years old and 76 years old). But is seems strange that he still lives with his folks...he told me that he is saving money right now because he wants to get his own place. He seems a very simple country boy...NEVER been exposed to Italian food, Greek foods, and other things that I even found shocking. He was nice dressed on his first date except for the fact that he was wearing an old pair of sneakers, jeans and a black shirt. I was fine with everything except for his sneakers. I feel like I am this City girl, way too educated and way too sophisticated for him...
I like him and I know he like me too ( a lot). I decided to give him another change so we will go out again this weekend. He will drive again for at least one hour to come and see me. There have been 2 weeks since the last date (he has his kids every other week, for a whole week - which I understand because I have kids. I actually admire him a lot for taking care of his kids for a whole week) and we have been texting every day for the entire day. We always find topics to discuss and even if we text to check on each other, or say good morning or good night....
I don't know what to do...I came out of a very abusive marriage and I want to have a good man. He seems to be the good man I am looking for but he does not meet my standards. Am I being a snob??? Please help! Please!
Thank you!
