I love getting emails… Recently, a dear friend wrote in:

Dear Sandy,

Scenario: guy who I have been getting to know, play Intramural football with, and hang out w/ on occasion (always w/ a group of people) who is so super fun to be around and really great, basically asked me out tonight. But…big problem…I am really not physically attracted to him at all! He totally caught me off guard tonight though and VERY confidently was like “hey Linda, can I talk to you for a sec?” I said…”sure” (not suspecting ANYTHING!) He said…”so, I’ve really liked getting to know you, and I’d really like to get to know you more, so…I think that maybe we should go out sometime….like…on a date…but definitely still just totally getting to know each other before it was actually anything serious at all.”

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I froze…but am a good enough actress that the deer in the headlights that was sitting on my insides did not (I don’t
think) show on my face or in my voice and I was like “yeah, okay, sure” I didn’t know what else to do!!! Scary!!! Sooo…my dear Sandy…of dating outlook…what do i do??? I HATE hurting people and don’t want to hurt his feelings. Oh gosh i feel nauseous…i think he just totally caught me off guard.

Readers, any suggestions on what Linda should do? Should she wait it out and give it a real chance –could he be the one? I doubt it. But, this is your chance to weigh in. I want to hear what the guys and the girls think and she wants to know too. Leave a comment and give us your opinion.

About Dating Outlook

What's not to like about dating? Plenty. The awkwardness, the drama and starting all over again (and again...) until we find that special someone. However, there are some pretty great things about dating and if nothing else, hopefully you meet some great people along the way. Stick around for some not so humble opinions, reflections and thoughts about the good, the bad and the downright ridiculous woes of dating.
