The first guy I "dated" wasn't really all that good looking. In fact, he totally wasn't my type at all, but I went for him because he was the first guy that ever showed interest in me, and I fell for it like an idiot. Yeah... big mistake.
In all honesty, my current boyfriend [who I love dearly] isn't smoking hot either, but I think that he's quite handsome when he's cleaned up
In general, he's pretty cute, and relatively good looking. I don't really mind that I don't have a drop dead gorgeous boyfriend, because then every other girl would be after him, too! LOL.
If you think about it, realistically, everyone is going to age and their good looks fade... but a loving, caring, respectful personality will always be there. Good looks are just a bonus that you get to enjoy while they last. I've known some extremely "beautiful" people as far as physical appearance goes, but when it turned out they had a nasty attitude, the beauty was gone in my eyes. It's harder to find a person with a good heart than it is to find a pretty face, IMO.
