Search Results: fall in love with an ex

I tend to be obsessive so if you're tired of my seemingly common questions, then fuck off lol no one is forcing you here.

Anyways, this is related to my other questions.
I remember telling my friend that I would NEVER date guys who aren't scrawny, skinny because that's my preference. And she laughed because people tend to have checklists that they rarely adhere to. My ex wasn't obese, but he wasn't definitely a skinny guy. He was kinda chubby at the start of our relationship and had more boobs than me. At first, it kills me to say this, but I wasn't totally attracted to his body. But I grew to really, really enjoy it. Something prior to dating him I didn't think would happen. I also said I didn't want to date a single father because I didn't want to jeopardize any chances of him reconciling with the mother. And he was a father too. so that's 2 things I'd said I'd never date but still did.

She personally said she'd NEVER fall for a man who was hairy because she didn't like that. She is happily practically married to a man for 10, going on 11 years now who is a human wilderbeast lol And she absolutely loves his body as is.

So GaGgers, my question is do you have any instances where you dated someone who wasn't your preference or the opposite of it? Maybe you like only big boobs but gave small boobs a chance. Or you never wanted to date a single parent but did? Or only tall men but fell for a short guy? etc etc
Was it an "eye opening" experience and it became your preference? Or did you just enjoy it "enough" but you still have your preference? Did you realize that you couldn't just get over it and had to break it off? Are you just not trying because you know you'd not be able to? have you never but are willing to try?

This is a lofty decision, and I'm not actually going to make it on this poll, but I wanted some anonymous opinions.

I'll try to make it short. I was at the University of Wisconsin-Madison for my freshman year and achieved a near 4.0. Paperwork mix ups that went back to my initial admission surfaced second semester. In spite of my grades, extracurricular involvement, and no disciplinary history, I had to leave after this past spring. My summer internship with a very prominent woman in my field was extended into the fall. Partly because I needed somewhere to go and partly because I can do the job. I found my calling. She attended UW-River Falls, a second or third tier university compared to Madison.

I reached out to an alum of Purdue, the top man in my field actually. And I couldn't believe it, but he had seen my work and rallied the faculty around me to welcome me in. It was amazing, and I loved Purdue when I visited. But there's the OOS tuition.

A couple weeks ago, my current employer gathered some RF people to recruit me so I'd stay with her. And they did. I loved the people from RF and how not pretentious they were, frankly. D1ers get this arrogance to them I'm tired of. I visited and liked it. It's small, it's not prestigious, but it's next to the Twin Cities, so connections should be there. It's a lot cheaper. And ok, I liked the horse facility... a lot. That's not exactly my field but... it made me happy.

Not to mention people in Wisconsin are starting to know my name in this field. I don't want to leave that. There was a shit show recently with some fellow college kids, courtesy of my ex friend but... I don't think that'd follow me to River Falls. However, if I do go to River Falls, I'll have to tell Purdue, including the very influential alum that helped me a lot.

Thoughts? Again, this isn't making my decision. I just wanted some random opinions.
