That's a very interesting perspective. I fear that subconsciously I may feel that he's beneath me in some way (which is a terrible way to feel), as he's typically NOT the type of guy I would date, but since what I've done in the past hasn't worked, I figured "why not"

...and he was SO persistent. It feels nice top be pursued... so now I worry that I may be more attracted to the ATTENTION instead of him as a person.

I haven't ruled him out... yet, but I keep going back and forth in my head. He's a REALLY nice guy and I can tell he really likes me. I certainly don't want to hurt his feelings or lead him on.

This is a tough one for me. Part of me wants to ditch him because there's no "spark" (which is usually just hormones), while the other part of me thinks I should wait it out a bit more.
