stitch702 Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 So yeah just as the title states, have any of you guys or gals ever dated anyone outside your norm. The reason I ask is well I know I have some girls interested in me, but I'm only really interested in two of them. One is the typical girl I usually go for. Physically attractive, petite, great body. She has a good personality as well, but is a bit on the high maintenance side of the spectrum. Takes forever to get ready, carries make-up around, coach purse, always has to have her hair and nails done etc. The other one is usually not the type of girl I would go for. She's outgoing, down to earth, out door type of girl. Very laid back and really goofy in a nerdy kind of way which I find to be adorable lol. I actually have a lot of things in common with this girl since she's the out-door hiking, mountain climbing, adventurous kind of person and I'm a country boy. She is attractive as well, but not the type that I would usually date. Then again my last relationship was with the "high maintenance" type of girl and that didn't really work out that well. So yeah I just want to ask you guys or gals if you ever dated someone you normally wouldn't date and how did that work out for you?

I tried it a few times, didn't work out. My norm did change a bit though over the yrs, so a girl i dated 5yrs ago would be outside my norm now, even though it wasn't then.
NeverDated Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Then again my last relationship was with the "high maintenance" type of girl and that didn't really work out that well. So yeah I just want to ask you guys or gals if you ever dated someone you normally wouldn't date and how did that work out for you? My "type" is...well...an a-hole. I pretty much have a thing for highly successful sociopaths who make me feel like worthless, no-good crap. My boyfriend is not my "type." Very empathetic, not terribly charming/charismatic, interested in becoming successful but not in a cut-throat way. I initially didn't want to date him because he's not my "type" - which was when a very close friend pointed out that my type sucks. The first few weeks were a little rocky, while I tried to see past the "type" issue, but ultimately it worked out well. He's everything I need, usually what I want and almost never what I dislike. 2
somedude81 Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Hell, the only girl I've ever dated was nothing like my type at all.
motive2002 Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 If it's a bit beyond my type, the differences can make for an interesting relationship. To far beyond and it just won't work.
Ghosst Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 I was just dating a man who was not my type at all. Usually I prefer a redneck man with a big truck, sweet yet strong. Confident enough to handle that I have a past and accept that. Used to be a player type but outgrew it. Lean, muscular and strong. Usually dominant. Recently I dated a businessman type. He was loving, brought flowers, and wrote me poetry. He turned out to be jealous and possessive. Could not handle that I had a past. Although he was sweet and wonderful at times, at other times it was very difficult to cope with that jealousy and possessiveness. It could not work out because he could not accept who I was before we met. I wish it would have worked out. Every person you meet has the potential to be wonderful, even if they are not your type. Hopefully you will have enough commonalities to make things work
