Have you ever dated someone you were not attracted to??

If so, why'd you do it?

Good personality?

no.

But I've breifly gone out with women i wasn't originally attracted to. Personality REALLY enhances someone's looks. I think there has to be some potential--they don't have to be your 'type', but they have to have something there that you can don't originally notice, but start to once you fall under the spell of their charms. (yes, I can be charmed ).



I have, however, 'taken the grenade' for a couple of my friends , with some dumpy sidekick to the hot chick my buddy was trying to go out with. Although not an ideal position to be in, I did receive some decent blowjobs out of it from time to time.

I love Milty and so should you!

I've never "dated" someone I didn't find attractive. If the attraction wasn't there after one date it never would be.

No

I agree with you, thats exactly what I mean, I guess I shoulda said 'someone eho wasn't yer type'

If they have a phenomenal personality, I'll likely find them attractive.

"Attractive" to me isn't about looks. My last two dates were with a physically hot guy who turned out to be a racist homophobe (SO not attractive) and a guy who was so-so lookswise but seemed to have a lot in common with me, but then he had an odd voice and mannerisms and overall, we just didn't click. Not attractive. So neither got a second date.

i rarely 'date' anyway, because by definition 'dating' isn't for me. i prefer 'hanging out'.

but i wouldn't even consider it if i felt no attraction at all..

I don't think I'm ever dating again.

It's way too much like a job interview.
I feel like I'm interviewing men for the position of being my boyfriend.
Yuck.

To answer the question:

Yep-for a week!

Nope- it or they started to annoy me

No. Why would anyone do that?

I'm sig-less. Happy, fuckers?

no, I hate myself, but not that much.

I wouldn't call what we did "dating" but I've been with plenty of people that I wasn't attracted to. In fact, most of them.


Why? I was horny. They were horny (or at least easily persuaded). Needs must be met occasionally.

mmmm hmm. exactly, it's like both poeople go into it with 'expectations' of a relationship, and that alone can skew things. imo 'dating' is awkward and ikky

I prefer 'hanging out' too. Only thing thats annoying about that though is how things can so easily slip into the 'friend zone'

See, I usually do it the other way around. Things start in the friend zone then seem to easily slip into 'oopsy, we just slept together'.

And 'attractive' to me is totally about looks because that's what gets me interested initially. After that initial attraction he's gotta have more to him or I'm not interested anymore. I'll still find them attractive I just won't want to be around them in any romantic way...or even in a platonic way really.

No.

Mr. Purpleness is my Muse. I Him

No I have always been attracted to them at first...I usually have the problem of losing the attraction for them later on.

Once - when I was much, much younger.

He was someone who treated me well (initially, at least), took me places, bought me gifts. What I mostly liked about him were his friends and family.

Gradually, he began to show his true colors. He was a very controlling guy - about everything. The first time he tried to tell me what to wear on a date - and pouted all night when I didn't oblige - was the beginning of the end of the relationship.

Turned out - the reason he asked me out in the first place was because I worked in television. He wanted to date a "star." When he found out I was an actual person, he wasn't interested anymore.

No. Why waste you and the other person's time?
