A recent dating advice request had a reader confused: why would someone tell you they aren't your type?
He sent me an e-mail at the end of the day, thanking me for meeting him. He said that he had a wonderful time but that he wasn't sure if he was my "type". However, he would love to go out again this week, just to see if he's wrong, and he is my "type." What does this mean?
I've answered this person's question (see Dating Advice: He's Not My Type? for the details) and was thrilled to hear back almost immediately:
Wow; I followed your advice and got exactly the response you predicted. Thanks!
Which was great to hear, but as I read the response I thought to myself: how many other singles aren't able to clearly say what we mean? Do most dating bloopers stem from miscommunication - both verbally and physical (i.e. body language)? Or is it something else?

When someone says that they are not your type it usually mean there is something about you that they don’t like. When i say it there is something wrong with your personality or figure that i have issues with. The most important thing is the personality and a lot of people lack that now a days.
If my date ask me about my response of “your not my type” i would definitely tell them the truth. Unfortunately i might be a little straight forward, but hey at least i am truthful about it. Also they can probably learn from it also if they have an open mind.
Its new and looks promising to me!
Nice article! Well, maybe love is like luck. You have to go all the way to find it. Let’s find a love of our life.
When someone tells you something like that, it means that he’s still unsure about you. Whether it be because you are not the usual types of women that he dates, or there’s something about you that he just couldn’t get his fingers into. But when he said that he wanted to go out again, he’s implying that he wants to know you better and to clear things up with what he really feels towards you. Good luck!
Be practical dating means mixing and matching of two
hearts but you must be wary of that. If you
go to a large church, you’re more likely to meet a lot of people. Always I repeat always, let someone you love and trust know where you are going and where you have been.
