I’m on a dating app. I met a guy this past weekend. We went on two dates 8 hrs each time.
I found out he’s handsome and in great shape but he has a kid from Friday night till Saturday evening. So he can only date from Saturday night (like 8 pm…) or Sunday.
I’m never married, don’t have any kids and I wasn’t planning on dating a divorced man with a kid still younger (he’s 11 years old). His texting habit is also poor. He’s not very enthusiastic and way too chilled for me. He never ghost me or anything. It’s just that I’m more used to guys who text me often and chase me at least at the beginning. He only texts in the evening like after 10 pm. I declined to talk to him yesterday because I wanted to go for a late night run (I run like 1.5-2 hrs). I got irritated by “can we talk in 15 min.?” No guy usually asked me to wait like this every time. Today no text from him. I will just text him short and not gonna ask to talk. His handsome look only goes so far when he’s boring to talk to.
He also told me how he got divorced (7-8 years ago) and it was filled with crazy stories that he and his ex wife fought for two years in court. He said he almost got ruined financially and mentally (a nervous breakdown) because they fought so much in court. His ex wife stalked him or tried to capture a video of them fighting by instigating a fight etc. Nasty stories. I don’t think he’s ready to remarry but just casually date. He says he’s attracted to me but I know when a guy is really attracted to me they chase a lot and really hard. This guy doesn’t chase. I’m not crazy about his texting style. He’s also not that tall I noticed. It would be more ideal if he was taller. But he’s lean and he is handsome.
Then another guy, he’s diabetic. He only eats once a day. He is type II diabetes. I’m very health conscious and I eat very healthy (3 times a day) and exercise regularly. This guy eats healthy but only once a day. We are in the same industry, in Tech which is nice. Just that I don’t know if I can date a guy who is diabetic. He’s cute but not sure. This guy I haven’t met irl. Not yet. Because we get along well in chat he’s gonna probably ask me out if I enthusiastically chat with him a few more days. He’s fun to talk to unlike the handsome guy I met this past weekend.
Would you date someone you may not like their lifestyle or habits if you were attracted to them physically? Did it ever work out for you if you dated them despite of their lifestyle differences?
