After a year out of dating I’ve gradually let women back into my life. I had a vicious breakup some time ago. Now I’m going out again, meeting women and I’m seeing someone I met whom I struck up a conversation with by chance while waiting in line for ice cream at the beach. Weird place to do that, I know. We exchanged numbers and things between us have been going well. I’m in no rush to define my status with her. Last night, we attended a wine bar and she asked me if she was my type. I answered that I never really try to narrow down ideal person to minuscule things like height, breast size or what have you and try to get know each person individually before deciding if they’re a good fit for me and vice versa. I in turn asked the same question and she said ideally, no. She normally goes for taller guys. I’m around 5’7 and half. Also she prefers men with a whiter skin tone. I’m more darker skinned. My mom is black American and my dad was born in France with my distant relatives in Belgium. But my black features are more evident. She also typically likes extroverted sports-built guys. I’m introverted, into martial arts and tones, but not overly muscular. After all that she said I’m not her usual type, but after our first conversation she couldn’t stop thinking about me. Now to be clear, I’m not offended. The physical chemistry between us is great. The deep talks are also great. But a part of me deep down wonders, why she didn’t shut me down if I wasn’t her type. I’d love to know your point of view. How did it make you feel? Did it ever work out? I’m open to all perspectives. submitted by /u/Im_Max_Modem
