Hi everyone! I wonder what you would do if you were in this situation:

You meet possibly the man you have been hoping for for decades.
He has been your friend for a short time but you have established a deep intellectual connection. One of the things he knows about you is that you are significantly overweight, but back at the gym burning it off. You are soooo sensitive about the issue (men have passed on you for this very reason so many times in the past you could barf!) you have asked him to not focus on it period. You assume you do not have a chance in hell of his being attracted to you, despite your commonalities and connections. He more or less confirms that for you by saying that lust goes a long way. He looks down and is outrightly appologetic about it. (As if he was sorry...) You know he has a right to his preferences so all you do is agree with him that yes it's important in a relationship. By the end of your meeting, which has gone very nicely, out of nowhere he says "Again, there's that all-important chemistry." (You equate "chemistry" as emotional, since you connected that way for the last hour for the first time! It's a nice surprise for both of you. But it could be physical (again) intellectual or spiritual.) Not to put words in his mouth, you DO imagine a silent "but" at the begining of the sentence. You smile widely and say "of COURSE!" with a d'oh to yourself!

Here is your dilemna: The man knows in 6 months you will be free of the excess weight. Can he not see that far into the future? You are surprised that he would not want to take it slow and build a solid foundation as he as only been divorced 2 weeks. That is not to say he did not check out emotionally from the relationship long before. He is likely to be in a period of touch deprivation which is spurring him on to put the cart before the horse...
Do you tell him to keep in touch and if you are both single and still interested down the line it'll be up for discussion? Do you just walk away? Do you stay once you have shown him what a dolt he is being, knowing he isn't that into you, physically? (So he thinks...)
Interested to hear your perspective!
