Haha. When Roger and I first started dating, he asked me if I thought he was my type. He absolutely wasn't, and I said so. He's taller than anyone I've ever dated, by quite a few inches, and is skinnier than anyone I've ever dated as well. But he has such a great personality, a wonderful smile, and so many other endearing qualities. I guess the difference is, he let me finish my sentence and also has enough sense of self to laugh at himself. In fact, he told me that he's been told that a lot!
I also told him that since my type hadn't been working out so well for me, it was probably good for me to try something new lol.
While it's definitely important to think about the possible misinterpretations/miscommunications, you can't control how she's going to take everything you say. Don't beat yourself up too much. You are too much of a sweetheart, and if she's going to let her insecurities ruin any potential relationships, that's her issue, not a reflection on you!
