I have experienced what you have with your girlfriend recently, as far as being attracted to someone not my type. The last man I met on the internet was not my physical type:
Life happens when we are making other plans. I believe this woman was brought into my life for a reason. It went beyond what I thought I wanted and for her it was the same.
I learn from each life experience and I view that close relationships are the bigger teachers.
I spent a little over $100 for an eharmony membership. I did it for 2 months, and went on one date, and realized that I didn't have the energy for it anymore. I felt like I was going to a job interview, where I had to convince them I was worthy of dating. I realize that I just want to be myself and do my own thing, and for the most part, I like it. There are times I am lonely, esp now that it's the holidays, but I know it will pass. I stay busy and do things with my friends, and recently met a younger guy, but we are just hanging out as friends for now. It's new for me, not to be in a relationship --last one ended badly 8 months ago. I think learning to be single is good for me.
If someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.
So now I'm back to being attracted to tall good-looking.

That's all fine and good, but I am only one man . .. LoL (-: I am afraid at least for the foreseeable future OLD is history. I want more than it has to offer at the moment. (-; Of coarse I also have a set of difficult goals for the next year that will very likely keep me single . . .so maybe it is just me being my normal practical self. (-:
In the end, the people who I have been the happiest with in my life have never been the ones I "imagined"
