I am in the same situation currently. The new guy I just started dating is wonderful and has all the personality traits I have been looking for. He is not ugly be any means just not what I am normally attracted too. I feel like people will look at us and think what is she doing with him she can do better, looks wise. Put it this way, if I was out somewhere he would not of gotten a second look. He is super nice and we can talk for hours, we enjoy the same things. My problem is that I fear that when I introduce him to my family they are going to look at me like what where you thinking? If I knew that I never had to introdcue him to my family or friends there would not be an issue. I am not embarrassed to be in public with him, just worry what those close to me will think.
I am happy, and his texts and emails make me smile. I just worry about the day I have to take him home to meet my family.
We are both in our late 30’s and have kids, they get along amazing, we met through the kids.
This is the kind of guy that would be excellent long term relationship material.
Am I wrong to feel like this? Am I putting to much emphasis on looks?
