Dave: Physical attraction is important, but it shouldn’t be the determining factor. If the only drawback is that he’s a “little” overweight, don’t let that be a deal-breaker. What if he thought you’re a “little” too blonde for him? Wouldn’t that seem silly? Put the weight issue aside, and focus on his positives. I’m sure they far, um, outweigh the negatives.

 

Bill: You could be the one to help get your portly pal in shape. Plan your dates as workouts: Meet him at the roller rink, take hikes in the woods, go mountain biking. Maybe his excess weight will disappear along with your superficiality.
