What would people do in this situation?

I met this guy he is everything I want but.. there isn't much sexual attraction and the other thing is he is way too eccentric to take home to my parents.

I'd be embarassed. He says things loudly which he shouldn't. He's very, let's say animated. His dress sense is a bit off but he's lovely. He is also a bit older. I don't know what to do.

So_Very_Confused agony auntHe’s NOT everything you want. You don’t find him sexually attractive. How can you say that he is everything you want. You add he’s too eccentric and you can’t take him home to meet mom and dad. He embarrasses you with his voice and his style of dress etc.

I can’t see what the problem is here OP, he’s so NOT what you want really. What makes you think that his eccentric ways, his voice, his way of dress and the fact that you don’t find him sexually attractive will change? He needs to be relegated to friend and nothing more. Just because HE is interested in YOU that way does not mean you have to reciprocate.

SensitiveBloke agony auntHe can't be everything you want if you're not physically attracted to him and you find him loud and embarrassing. Maybe he's better as a good friend rather than a boyfriend?

If you are nuts about this guy then go with your heart! So what if he is different, this is what makes him special and people must learn to accept him as YOUR choice.

Give your relationship with him more time, let your relationship grow into something more, and the sexual part of the relationship will also grow [pardon the pun]!

You say he's lovely but then say most things about him are negative?!

Not sure if you really care for him or just enjoying the novelty of him.

I think as he is older than you, your not being fair to him at all.

Before you introduce him to anyone work out what you really feel about him rather than lying to yourself and him.

You seem a little selfish to me, do you actually know this person well at all? I think your playing with his feelings and need to work on yourself rather than be so judgemental of people in your life.
