- I am mid 30’s and pretty newly single. I have only been divorced for 4 months now and not ready for a new relationship at this point. However, I am lacking male companionship. Some friends convinced me that a rebound hookup is what I need. My friend is itching to hook me up with a guy friend of hers. She showed me pics of him and he’s just my type. She says he is newly divorced too and looking for the same thing. I am hesitant to pursue him because I’m a plus size woman. I questioned my friend as to whether he would be interested in me. She insists he would. He’s not conventionally handsome and not necessarily out of my league like Honey Boo Boo’s Mom dating Channing Tatum. However, I do think he is maybe a bit too attractive for me. What makes me nervous is that when I looked through his Facebook I saw these pics of him with different women, and they all look like Victoria’s Secret models. That’s obviously what he likes, but I’m completely the opposite. Is it even possible for a guy to be into such drastically different body types on women? I don’t normally care if a man isn’t into me, and I’m confident most of the time, but my divorce has destroyed my self esteem recently. I don’t think my mental health could handle if he turned me down. Is a rejection so inevitable I should just tell my friend to forget it?
Should I bother to let my friend hook us up?
