Dating based on physical potential?

Hi all!

I matched with a truly incredible guy more than a month ago and we’ve been talking and video chatting nonstop since. The verbal chemistry is FIRE, we have an awesome connection, and I have genuine romantic feelings for him… but, while he’s somewhat cute, he is much heavier than in his photos, (which show him at a range of weights) and I’m not sure if I would be physically attracted to him when we finally meet.

I tend to go for guys who are tall skinny rails, and this one is the polar opposite, but I am plenty attracted to him in his heaviest photo, which I’d guess is 20ish pounds lighter than his current state.

He’s made several references to how he’s eating more healthily and would want to work out together and try vegan food with me (I’m a daily gym goer and eat healthily most of the time) so I do think that, were we to date, he’d continue to get fitter… but I am a little nervous about the initial meeting, and having to take it till I make it.

What would you do? Would it be rational to continue to talk and develop our emotional relationship if, after meeting in person, I am not sexually attracted to him? I think yes, especially since it sounds like he is working to get more fit, but I also want to have the physical component of a healthy relationship.
