Today I met with a potential source of clients for me. I found him attractive. It's been a long time. We had a great talk and both of us acknowledged that we had a "psychic" connection (for lack of a better word). Yet I could not bring myself to give him signals that indicated interest, because I feel unsexy and like no man could ever find me attractive at this weight.

This is yet another way I am not living my life to the fullest because of my size.

Willl you be seeing him again?If he is a business aquaintance it would be OK to ask him to lunch or coffee.
Where in No Cal are you ?

Yes, it would be ok to ask him to lunch or coffee...after a while.

I'm in the East Bay.

You are not far from me .Your offer for lunch should be on a business basis which could lead to more.
I personally think you are very attractive.He might thinks so , too. Good luck.

I think you're very attractive, too. You have such a pretty face. (sorry, I couldn't resist saying that.)

So engage him as a business friend. You never know what could happen. My husband and I were buddies for a year before he announced he had a crush on me and I said I had a crush on him and the rest was history. Obviously I understand about the weight thing and how it makes you feel but once you've been friends for awhile you just become people and it becomes less important.

It's pretty neat though when you get that feeling again. Puts a little zip in your step, as my mother would say.

Yahoo battle!! Glad that you both talked alot, good sign.. So the next time you talk with him, give him a nice complemiment.. that might get his attention. I always say sweet things to my man and it works. Good luck.

Hahahaha pretty face!

Thanks for your compliments!

I think I will find a reason to meet with him again and see what happens.

Very cool! I agree - you have a beautiful face. I can't comment on the rest of you because that is all I can see in the picture

You really never know. A lot of guys have very narrow definitions of what they find physically attractive and others have a much wider scope. You never know . . .

I'm with Nancy. You never know.

Try to give yourself permission to enjoy flirting, regardless of what comes of it. You deserve to live life as fully as possible!

I agree! Go for it! I'm married and it's still makes my day when a guy flirts. You never know...he may be your special someone! Go for it and enjoy.
