Red flag

By WalkingOnEggshells - 25/12/2024 21:00 - United States - Miami

Today, the man I've liked for so long asked me out on a date. Three years ago I fell for him and he denied me unless I "lost 100lbs” Now I've lost about 85lbs (not because of him, but for myself) and he wants to give me the time of day. I still like him, but I feel like I have to watch my weight to keep him if I say “Yes.” FML

Congrats on the weight loss since you did it for yourself and not for some jerk who is shallow and superficial. Let’s say you do get with him. Heaven forbid you gain weight after birthing his offspring or you get into an accident that disfigures your body. I don’t think it’s worth it. Find someone who loves you also on the inside. Looks can only last for so long. We all grow old, gain a little weight and grow grey hairs eventually as we age. It’s what’s on the inside that counts.

Tell him to go away. Someone who loves you before the change is someone worth keeping ..

cant be upset with a preference. we all have them, i understand loving someone for who they are but there must also be a physical attraction. that being said, i dont think you're wrong in your assumption

Physical attraction doesn’t last forever. If you base a dating prospect based on that, it can only go but so far. If that person loses that physical attractiveness due to an accident, childbirth or age/time, does that make them any less valuable as a person? I don’t think so.

Setting aside any personal opinions about such a requirement, yes, it does sound like maintaining a certain weight is a condition, for him. Ask him if you're not sure, and be honest about whether or not you intend to. Be honest with yourselves and each other. If he's shallow, it's something you know and accept going into the relationship.

Tell him you can't date him since you only lost 85lbs then go find someone who wants you for you, not your number.
