Dear Prudence,
I am falling in deep love with a woman who I am not physically attracted to. Her mind, humor, and life goals are attractive but physically, we are not well-suited. Looks have not been the most important priority for me but I would be dishonest if I said it did not matter. Sometimes, I find myself looking away from her out of fear that my face will show what I am thinking. I am a clean-cut, and relatively attractive person. I don’t understand what this says about me. Are looks now unimportant? Is a potential relationship with this woman doomed to fail?
