Hi, I'm Rachel Greenwald and I'm the author of "Have Him At Hello" with Ask YourTango.
Today's question is, "There is this guy I have been talking to online, and we have met before. He seems to really like me and has asked for my number to go out on a date a few times. But the thing is I'm afraid I won't be attracted to him physically. Should I just go out on a date and see how it goes?"
The answer is absolutely yes. You should go out on a date and just see how it goes.
You know, I've been in the matchmaking business for over 10 years and there is only one constant that I've seen across every relationship and marriage I've arranged...
And that is that your future husband or wife is going to come in a package that is totally unexpected from the one you're looking for.
And attraction is really in the brain. It's something that grows on you because of something funny he says or something sweet that he does.
And you just won't know unless you try it, go on a date and keep an open mind, and just see if some physical attraction develops.
And, look, he's a big boy. He can handle rejection. You know, I'm sure this wouldn't be the first time someone's gone on a date and then not wanted to see him again.
This is all part of the dating game.
So be open minded, go on the date. Report back, let me know if something develops.
