I’ve been dating this woman, let’s call her Diana, for 2 weeks now. To me, I think she’s the perfect match because we have a lot in common and we’re attracted to each other. But for some reason (s), she doesn’t feel like I like her physically.
Every other day now, she keeps asking me about past girls I dated and what my type is. I keep telling her that I like her, my focus is on her, and the past doesn’t matter.
Then today she asks, besides me, have you ever dated a Latina? I said yes, 8 years ago. She asks how come I haven’t dated one since. My life didn’t work out that way. I don’t view race/ethnicity as a priority. I care more about the spiritual connection and having similar hobbies.
Next, she says that she’s never dated a man that didn’t make her feel like the prettiest woman in the world and she’s going to maintain that high standard. I told her I respect that, then she goes back to prying for more nitty-gritty details. So, I just cave and tell her what I like and some of the features don’t match her. Then she says, “Idk… Sounds to me like your type is white women.”
I reiterate again that none of this matters and that I find her beautiful. I compliment her hair, body, lips, etc. She says thank you but from her body language I can tell that it probably wasn’t enough.
Does being your type matter that much to women? If so, should I only date white women going forward so I don’t run into this problem anymore? Lol This whole type thing is silly to me. Beauty fades and it’s what’s on the inside that matters.
