Am I the only one with this issue? Because I do feel like I’ve missed out on some good opportunities with certain people all because I can’t get rid of that one part of me that’s unfortunately shallow. I didn’t even realize I had a type but I’m pretty aware of it now that I’ve dated quite a bit more. I’ve found other people attractive, one that I even started to get serious with but there was always something bothering me that I couldn’t quite put my finger on and eventually his looks started to bother me as well. Now, with boys who were my type entirely I can honestly say I loved them a lot more and probably put up with the same annoying things I just couldn’t in those who didn’t fit my ideal look.
I don’t know if this is normal or not. Like the last man I dated I was very attracted to. But eventually it’s I lost interest and went right back to dating my type. Is this some sort of mental illness? I don’t know why I lose interest like that, he could check all the boxes but if he doesn’t look the way I want it’s like I just can’t do it. If anyone has had similar experiences I’d love to hear your feedback
