In no way am I vain or shallow when it comes to my men, but there has to be some type of physical attraction to go along with the mental connection we can make. If YOU are not attracted to this man, nothing he can "say" will change that. Do you want to be kissed by him? Are you repulsed at the thought of his lips touching yours? If you are....then there's your answer...the relationship may not work out. If you're not repulsed, then maybe you ARE attracted to him, so go for it....
