How important is it to you to be physically attracted to the person you just met and talked with?

Question

I recently met and talked with the person who's a math tutor at the college. My adviser introduced me to him, and told him that I need some help with math (which is true). I know my adviser was matching me up with this guy, because he's single and I'm also single. I'm 5 yrs. older than him, but I guess that doesn't matter.

He seems a good guy with good qualities, but I wasn't very sure if being physically attracted to him was important or something that I need to consider. Perhaps, I'm judging him too quickly, since we just talked this afternoon after he helped with my math homework.

He might be a new friend, but, I think he's interested. He seems smart, gentleman, and polite...

I'm not desperate. Actually, I want to have choices.

Answer 1

It's not important if all he's going to be doing is tutoring you. If you are worried about going out with him, you could just keep meeting him for math help and take your time deciding if there is a spark there. If there isn't you can still improve your math grades. If there is, just let things happen when he asks you out.

Answer 2

Do you have to date this tutor just because your advisor thinks you should? S/he is an academic advisor, right? Get the math tutoring and a spine. Don't be so desperate. Attend to your studies and pick your own romances.

Answer 3

You seem to be jumping WAY ahead if all that has happend is he has tutored you! If you are wondering if you can date someone you're not physically attracted to, I think the fact that you are asking the question is answer enough

Answer 4

If you want math tutoring only, physical attraction is irrelevant. If you want to date him, I think it is VERY important.

Answer 5

BRING HIM TO YOUR BED
PUT SOME SOUR CREAM ON HIM
AND MAKE HIM YOUR 'TACO'
LOL!
