I just moved to a new city. I've never met someone online before, but I figured, since I work all day, and am brand new to town... I'd sign up for one of those online dating sites. It worked. I've had probably 15 ladies respond. I'd say 75% of them I can cross off immediately for one reason or another. But there is this one that I connected with. We talk on the phone a lot. And we text everyday. She seems to be really into me. She always texts me first, and she calls me, and she makes lots of comments about how she really enjoys talking to me. She even said that it feels like she's known me her whole life.
Now, not to sound too arrogant, but I am a very likable guy. I have traveled the world, and lived in Europe for 6 years. I am a trained chef. I worked for CNN in Atlanta. I now have a great job in software. I speak four languages fluently. I'm not rich, but I can pay my bills. And no matter where I go, I make people crack up laughing, and end up hearing things like, "You are the coolest guy! What's your number?"
And I am tall... 6 ft. 4 inches (almost 2 meters for you EU folks). But... I am also over-weight. Now... I am not a total wobbling pumpkin, or so fat that I look like I might drop dead of a heart attack any second. But I have a real belly. I mean, you know how some guys have gotten a little soft in the stomach? Well, I am very soft. XXL soft. Everybody tells me that I carry it well, and that I don't look "Fat"... I just look like a big guy. Anyway... who cares what they say. I know how I feel. And I feel like a fat guy. And I've seen pictures of this girl, and she is beautiful. She has the prettiest face with the prettiest blue eyes. I am very attracted to her, but I really just like the way she is, and the things we talk about.
I did not mis'represent myself or anything. I included two pictures of myself and one of my dog, because the dog kinda comes with the deal. Both pictures are recent, and very clear pictures of my face. But in both pictures, I am wearing dark shirts, and standing directly infront of the camera, so... I have to admit, they are my "best pictures". I guess everyone does that on those sites. I'm sure she didn't post her worst picture. Anyway... getting to the point. I am supposed to meet her one day this week. For all the ladies who might be reading this... please be brutally honest, would a guy that you really really liked personality wise, who turned out to be over-weight... still be someone that you could be with? I know every girl's different. I am just looking for some perspective here. Thanks for reading!
