I'm not so sure I want it now... help?

For the longest time, I've wanted a boyfriend. And now that I finally have one, I'm not so sure. Don't get me wrong, he's a great guy, but I feel really shallow saying that he's not the best looking. I know, I know... there's more to people than their looks. I realize its wrong to judge people solely on looks, but how can I keep it from preoccupying me? I feel like I would be happier if we were just friends-with-benefits type thing. I don't know. We've only officially dated for a couple days. What should I do?

Update:

Peter, when I said "it," I was referring to the relationship. Not the person.

    If you have only dated for a couple of days, you have no problem here. You are being superficial in putting his looks before the person but since you have, you are being unfair to him. Breakup with him and let him go his own way and find someone who will love and respect him for who he is. The friends with benefits thing is doomed to fail here because of the boyfriend issue. Just do him a favor and let him go. Warning to you, if you date someone with great looks just remember other girls will think he great looking too so watch your back at all times.

    It sounds to me like you feel you are settling for a man to whom you are not attracted. There is nothing wrong with looking for someone who you feel attracted. It doesn't make you shallow. Chemistry is one of the most important elements of a relationship. So if you don't feel you have chemistry with this guy then I would move on to another man. There is always time for a relationship and I'm sure you can meet a man that meets your standards if you try. Best of Luck.

    I would never force myself to go with a boy who doesn't have a whole lot of appeal to me. There are way too many wonderful guys out there just dying to get with me. I have a choice. Lots of choices, as a matter of fact. So why in the world would I want to limit myself to just one guy that I don't even have fun with???!! Life is for living, hon. Politely tell him good bye, so long, au revoir and Ce la vie !!
