well, i used to say, even in this forum, that i would NEVER date shorter than me.

Now, my current bf of 10 months is not shorter than me, but we are about the same size. 5´9 both. Im tall for a girl and he is short for a guy. If i wear even a tiny bit of heel, im instantly taller than him. sometimes much taller. I used to say my boyfriend HAD TO be 6 feet tall at least. Thats cause the 2 LTR i had in my life where with tall guys taller than that. They were also blond. And non-hairy. My current is brunette. Hairy. Uses glasses. The nerdy type. Kinda short.

I adore him. And is the best relationship i had in my life.

So i guess all those little details became meaningless when you meet someone that just makes you happy.

It's one thing to sit around with friends and say "I'll never date a person who's this or that." Cause at that point, you just can't imagine ever meeting someone who would make you change your mind. When it finally does happen, I almost want to thank the person. Thank you for making me realize how stupid I was to have such a rule.

This comes in handy when someone tries to set us up. They'll describe the person and we can pretty quickly rule them out. "Oh, she's got a kid? No way. Not interested." "Oh he's a lawyer? Forget it. I hate all lawyers." But one thing I've experienced every now and then is the feeling of surprise, surprise at finding myself attracted to someone I didn't think I ever would be. In my 20s, I said I'd never be attracted to a single mom. Her having a kid alone would turn me off. So what happens? A few years later, I meet this great woman, we really hit it off, but she has a child. Only, to my surprise, it doesn't bother me that she has a kid. In my 30s, I said I wouldn't date a woman who was overweight. If someone tried to set me up and said the person had a pretty face, I'd realize that was code for "she's overweight" and I'd quickly say "no thanks." But then I meet someone, we have great chemistry, and I find myself not caring that she's overweight.

I got to thinking about this when a guy I knew in high school, a guy who said he'd never date outside his own race, ended up marrying a black girl (he's white). I wasn't friends with him so I don't know exactly what caused him to change his mind. Was it instantaneous when he met this woman? Was he surprised at how wrong he was about his previous rule? A friend of mine said she'd never in a million years date a guy who was shorter than her. So what happens? She's married a guy who's 5'5". She's 5'8". When I asked what changed her mind, she just said "If you had told me I'd marry a short guy, I would've laughed. Even my mom was shocked."

Has this happened to you at all? Did you think you had a clear idea of what you liked and didn't like, but then one day you met someone who made you do a 180? What particular quality did you end up changing your mind about? It doesn't necessarily have to be a physical trait either. Was there a quality that maybe, to your horror, you found yourself liking and wish you didn't?
Decades past, if someone told me that I would be, hopelessly and completely, in Love, and totally dedicated
, unto death. to a woman with a mental impairment, I wouldn't have bought off on it. A bad auto accident left my fiance with a brain injury that effects her short term memory. If you don't know her, how it manifests cod lead you to think she is scattered and flighty, or even that it is a result of drug use.

She loses track, in mid conversation. Totally forgets, in the blink of an eye, what she was talking about. As a young man, I would not have coped well, with such a thing. As it stands, I find it to be one of her unique, and even endearing traits, and I just pay closer attention, when we are talking, and fill in the spots for her when she goes blank. I don't mind at all. If yon are unfamiliar with us, you would think, maybe, I am , rudely, finishing her sentences. Lol, nope, its a normal thing, she is grateful for.

In her past, guys would key on her because of this. Because she is a beautiful lady, and because of her disability, they thought her an easy mark for casual sex. The "hot dumb girl".:. A couple men, in her past, wounded her, very deeply, with that attitude. I'm very grateful that I've grown up, and understand such disabilities better.

I honestly can't recall ever being surprised at who I found attractive.
