Dating for the first time post long term marriage. The 3rd woman I met post divorce was incredible, we hit it off so well and had EVERYTHING in common. I just had to end it after 2 months because I just was not physically attracted to her and it hurts.
She was so kind, so interesting, so funny, and I genuinely loved talking with and being around her, I feel like I lost someone I cared a lot about.
I just dont believe someone can overcome lack of physical attraction. I tried, but couldnt and it was unfair to her. She was very emotional as I was ending things and that made me feel even worse, I never wanted to hurt her. I wish we could remain friends and talk on a regular basis, but I dont think that is something she wants with me.
I dont know why I'm posting this, I just needed to get it out to someone/anyone that may have gone through similar.
edit for people asking why I waited so long
We were long-ish distance, an hour apart, both with kids and schedules. We talked for nearly a month on the phone, texting, and Snapchat before ever meeting in person. We only met in real life 3 times.
