I say test the guy and tell him, "Great news - I'm getting laser eye surgery!" the next time you're out. If he suddenly has somewhere to be and you never hear from him again, then you'll have your answer.

You're very kind. Very polite. The girls I used to talk to, if I did the weird sh*t this guy is doing I never would have gotten another date. I've been dumped for less. He must have some other redeeming qualities.

Yes, weird. And annoying, if that experience keeps repeating itself. I guess he thought you looked really cute in glasses. Maybe you should comment that you hoped he'd like you for yourself, your personality and interests, etc. Somehow I don't expect this dateship to last long....

So what's the problem? Isn't having a good time, a sign you like each other, the true test?

He has a thing for women with glasses.........I do too........but not a fetish that would prevent me from dating someone that is attractive, smart, and has their act together.

On one hand - yes. On the other hand, he's being kind of offensive. I wouldn't ignore that.

Yes he does sound weird. The fact that you showed up on two dates with contacts should be enough to get it through his head that you prefer wearing contacts. Actually on the second date he never even should have brought it up. If it happens again I'd definitely not see him again.

Fast forward to the middle of our first date (which was going well) he was saying how often he meets people that don't look like their pics and then went on to say to me "obviously you're very attractive but I kinda was expecting a girl with glasses", so I told him I don't wear them often and that most of my pics were without glasses, he agreed and said "yea that's a good point", and then told me I had beautiful eyes and that was the end of that topic.

Then second date in the middle of the date again he goes on to say how people often misrepresent themselves on OLD, and says to me "I mean you're adorable" and then babbled something about how he clicked the like button on my pic with the glasses and when he met me, no glasses. So I asked him if he was trying to say I was one of those people who he thinks misrepresented herself and he said "no, I didn't say you". And then went on to ask me how often if ever do I wear my glasses.

Anyway he acts like he's attracted to me but I can't help feeling like he's really disappointed about the glasses thing. When he says this it makes me question whether he really is attracted to me or not, I mean I don't look that different with glasses on. I understand bringing it up once, but every time I see him? Is it weird?


He's trying to tell you he likes you with glasses. I'm personally a sucker for a girl in corrective eyewear.

It's weird but not a fireable offense. I had an ex that loved my glasses. Weird, but it was an easy way to make him happy on occasion.

Others seldom see us the way we see ourselves, and that isn't odd. It is individuals being unique.
Everything we wear represents a look, and different people will favor different looks. As long as they treat you well, to admonish them is seeking a problem that does not exist.
