On the other extreme, it is extremely painful for both the child and the partner when a good relationship comes to an end. I absolutely fell in love with my ex's daughter and was heartbroken when I had to make the decision to end the relationship with my ex. Meeting someone's child is NOT something to be taken lightly or to serve as an experiment. You should only be introduced to someone': child after you are both certain the relationship is going to last a long time and you are looking at combining your lives.
As for the OP's initial post, you're just jot into him. That's totally okay! You're not going to be into everybody. Heck, I'm rarely interested in anybody! Just follow your gut. You'll be miserable if try to "make yourself" like someone just because hey are available. You deserve to be picky and wait until you meet someone who gives you butterflies.
