I recently met a guy who made it clear he was interested in me, but I wasn’t really interested in him.  We were around the same age and had similar backgrounds.  He was a successful professional and not bad looking,  but he just didn’t seem like my type.  He seemed too serious,  too grown up for me.  After some prodding from a couple of friends, I decided to give him a chance. After a few dates, he actually started to grow on me.  “Grow on you?  What is he a fungus? ” quipped a friend.  We ended up dating for several months but in the end I realized he wasn’t my type at all.  He was boring, a workaholic, and just generally not fun.  I should have trusted my instincts—I need a fun guy, not fungi!
