Let's say you would never consider dating a person for whatever reason (it could be because race/ just the way she or he carries self/ or just not into them) ....then suddenly .... you are attracted to them and want to date them... What changed your mind about them?
I remember in high school, I liked a popular guy who I thought would never consider going out with me because I was viewed as an ugly girl by people. But there would be moments where he would just STARE at me. We have so moments where I was convinced he liked me .... but we never dated. Actually we met in jr high...
What are your experiences???
Here is my question: Have you met anybody who changed your perspective about them.
If you would never consider dating a certain person (for whatever reason you think is valid),
then you have a change of heart and you think its sort of mysterious..sometime its as simple as you just had to get used to them a little before getting comfortable with the idea.
Yup. Pretty girl that started out as just a friend... as I got to know her more I got it BAD.
She's with someone else, though, and I don't want to conduct myself in a disreputable manner. She also happens to be happy with this guy, so it's more like "Well, if the opportunity ever comes up, I would... but not right now."
Then there were girls that I've already been attracted to that were in my circle of friends, and then are just totally awesome when you get them alone.
I've only gone the other way: Girls I once found attractive became less attractive as I got to know them. And it probably had more to do with me changing than them.
Great question! I would have to say my husband. On our first meeting, he didnt make a lot of eye contact with me and spoke in a mumbly fashion..the first few minutes, i thought to myself "great another loser date..why are all these men such losers? Whats with this guy? He sounds like Mr. Depressing!". over the latter part of our meeting though, we finally found a common bond and our conversation flowed more smoothly. He asked me for a second date the following day and I gave him the benefit of the doubt...i assumed he was nervous and may have been terse with our conversation because he wasnt good at first dates..however I was impressed by the way he carried himself and how confident he seemed when we parted ways..made me feel for a second that he was studying ME to make sure I was exactly who I said I was on my dating profile
Our 2nd meeting (official first date), it was completely different..he pulled out the stops and it was just great between us from that point forward...

Same here! I imagine this is more common. I had huge crushes on football players in high school and when I finally got a chance to date them or just know them better, was immediately turned off by their personality, attitude, beliefs, etc.

I think that's the best when you have a certain opinion of someone and you're absolutely wrong!
Yep, my husband. I met him and I thought he was a complete moron. I met him through a friend and he was a complete arse when we went to a concert. He and I had an argument. A few weeks later he sent me flowers. I talked to him on the phone and well he actually wasn't that bad. After getting to know him better, he wasn't the person I thought. He just doesn't make good first impressions all the time. Been together 20 yrs now and he is still alive.
