From my experience it seems like many young American women in the dating scene today are looking for a guy who fits her "type". The closer he conforms to her physical ideal, the closer he'll get to getting a relationship. The further he deviates, the less the likelihood of him ever building a sexual or romantic connection. In most cases, he'll never get beyond a first date under the pretense of "no chemistry".

 

I recently has a first date with a cute 25 year old small town blonde who seems to be an exception. She claims she doesn't have a "type", and wants "someone who shares the same values as me, is ambitious, has a sense of humor and is kind".

 

Assuming I get multiple dates, is it possible to win her over by building a romantic connection over time, even if I am not her physical ideal?

Of course. Plus didn't you just say she doesn't have a type? So she's at least open to how you look and she sounds sensible and like she's looking for someone who is more her type in other ways, like what kind of person they are. So that's where she may decide it's right or not right. But good luck. Show her a good time, don't treat her like just a friend and end up in the friendzone. Kiss her goodnight right away. But be a gentleman.

you may be able to pull it off if you're 40 years old and she is older. people in their 20s generally don't know what they want.

Type isn't always physical.

 

If she is willing to date you, go with the flow. Be yourself. Be romantic. Stop looking for problems when none exist.
