33girl- I only stated that he is my type as supporting evidence to the fact that I honestly cannot pinpoint any reason why I have not developed feelings for him like he did for me. I do know that many friendships blossom into love- but before going on that first date, usually one or both is having feelings for the other. I do not think this is my case
I certainly do not want to marry someone, or even get into a relationship with someone, without those feelings.
Valkyrie- I don't want kids. Nor do I have kids that need a father desperately. It's more a question of, how do I put this, I want a paladin. I do not want someone who is significantly more experienced than I am. Nor do I want to negotiate on so many things. Sure sure, this guy was not a perfect match and there were negotiations- but no dealbreaking ones. I want a prince, not a cheap imitation that another one has used up already.
Consensus says- considering someone whom I'm not feeling anything for IS settling indeed. Not negotiation- SETTLING.
I'm still glad everyone has given input, for future reference. I do wish to experience those feelings- but even from date one, I could tell that this guy and I would not have super high chemistry. I just did not think that it would be nonexistent on my side.
