Dating a Medium?

One guy I met online and who I am going out with on Saturday, has just told me that he works part-time as a medium (in addition to his normal job). I was so surprised as he seemed so ordinary (I LIKE ordinary, lol!). It wasn't mentioned on his profile at all and to be honest, I think I would have passed him by. I have to confess, I am a bit of a skeptic, although open-minded.

So, is there anything I need to look out for? What do you think?

Give him a chance. Maybe the reason he didn't put it on his profile was because he didn't want people to stereotype him as weird. He may be perfectly charming.

I think it would be a fasinating topic of conversation. But then, I would probably want him to channel James Dean or Elvis.

Sorry, that wasn't funny.

Go and have fun. However, if he does seem weird go with your gut and don't see him again

Thanks Theta, he IS really very charming and you are right, it will give us loads to talk about. I am hoping he finds Bruce Willis over my shoulder, lol!

Maybe he is afraid that if he did put that on his profile the only people contacting him would be weirdos. Maybe he has experienced that in the past and wants to date people who are normal.

I mean how many reincarnations of Cleapatra and Marilyn Monroe can he go out with before he wants to crawl into a hole?

I would feel very positive about this! It means that he's emotionally open (as a medium has to actively tune into a person's energy). He's probably also an expert at reading body language so he's very likely to know how to do all the nice things a woman likes a man to do on a date.

We all have intuition - mediums have just developed this a lot more than most that's all. Nothing to be unnecessarily scared about, and you need not be concerned he'll be able to read your mind! It doesn't work like that.

Just enjoy the date!

Oh, yes, Theta, I hadn't thought of that - maybe he was a bit relieved when I said I wouldn't visit one, because then it means he won't be expected to perform. Er, in his job anyway, lol!

Oh, yes, Trace, I was scared that he would be able to read my body language too easily, let alone what I was thinking, lol! I hadn't considered the benefits, but of course, you are right!

Oooh, I am really looking forward to it now.

Mediums also face a lot of prejudice in society. Most of it, I have to say, comes from misinformation and lack of knowledge. It probably took some guts on his side to mention his profession to you, but you can also be sure it'll be something that's very important to him. If you haven't much experience of this yourself, try to be open and hold back on giving any opinion one way or another yourself - you can always make the decision yourself later on if his thinking isn't to your liking.

Most mediums I've met are warm and excellent conversationalists. The really great thing about a male medium is you can express your emotional side to him without fear and that is soooo very attractive to a woman - wouldnt you agree?

Thanks Trace, there are some unscrupulous ones out there, so that is what I was nervous about, really. But he sounds like a good guy and is accredited and everything, so I am keeping an open mind.

His observation and conversational ability has come over already and I have even given him my home phone number which I have never done so soon before!

The more I think about the benefits the more reassured I am - thanks so much for pointing them out!

Female sensitives are fairly common. Males, not so much. Keep us informed. We will expect a full review....lol
