is it ok to date someone whose looks you are not crazy about?

Question

is it ok to go ona first date with someone whose looks you are not too crazy about but really enjoy talking to you.

Answer 1

Of course it is.

Answer 2

If it wasn't okay to date people you don't think are hot, I wouldn't have the girlfriend I do. Not because I'm not attracted to her, it's because I know *I'M* not the hottest dish on the menu! *laughs*

Honestly, though, I've dated two girls who I asked out because I thought they were gorgeous...and they ended quickly, or badly. (one of each.) My two longest relationships were with women who I knew as a person for a while, and they grew on me.

Also, two key points:
1) Beauty is only a light-switch away.
2) Even if she's smokin' hot, she'll only be that way on the outside for a while...but the inner beauty stays forever.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think I could date someone I thought was uber ugly and wasn't attracted to at all, but you know what I'm saying.

Answer 3

There has to be a physical attraction, the relationship won't work without it.

What makes you physically attracted to someone, only you can say. Some people have an intense physical reaction to kindness, intelligence, money, accomplishments, style, a pretty face, certain body parts, or certain body shapes. There are some people who are only attracted to smokin' hotties, but I think those people are missing out on humanity.

Answer 4

Definitely! You never know what kind of a person you're passing up by judging solely off of looks! I've learned that some girls can clean up pretty darn well...even if they're average looking. Sometimes they are the true diamonds in the rough. Go get her!

Answer 5

um trust me if you are attracted to them on a non physical basis the physical attraction usually develops if your interested in a romantic relationship with the person. And you build a much more solid relationship this way.
Give them a chance, you'll be suprised if you have chemistry how quickly you can become attracted to someone on other levels.

Answer 6

Yes, and you might be glad you did. Actually, looks may turn your head, but they won't keep your attention. If this one has kept your attention without looks, then see what happens. You may be pleasantly surprised.

And you might find out why you see awesome looking people with someone not-so-awesome-looking... because it doesn't matter how pretty the wrapper if it's covering up crap. And sometimes inside a plan brown wrapper-- solid gold.

Answer 7

yea for sure .. i love this guy so much but im not attracted to him its just his personality. i think its a good thing because after all looks do change and fade away.
-i guess it just means tht you dont judge a guy by his looks .. which is something most ppl should do rather then just goin out with someone whos hot .. the connection has to be there or its not right.

***its a good thing.t not judge just by looks.

Answer 8

Would you rather date someone who's looks you are crazy about but didn't care for their personality? I would rather date someone I liked - sometimes people become more attractive when you get to know them.

Answer 9

Definitely! You may even find that as you get emotionally closer and enjoy each others company more and more that his/her appearance grows on you and while he/she may never be a "hot babe" you do find them attractive or desire them.
However, you may also find that no matter how much you enjoy their company that you just feel no physical attaction towards them. Let them know (in a nice way!) and try to remain friends.
Either way, it's definitely worth a shot.

Answer 10

Looks are only superficial. What is inside a person is what makes them into a real person. Sounds like you really want to be with him because of what is inside him. I suggest you date him.

Answer 11

looks dont last forever but personality lasts a lifetime. shallow people set themselves up for dissapointment in life by making looks the most important
