I also get the vibe that he feels like a womanizer, but I am not sure about that one as I don't know any of his exes yet.

Suddenly, my attraction towards him is disappearing... Is this normal? Am I overreacting to these "qualities" that remind me of exabf?
Should I give it a try? (By a "try" I mean, going out with this guy and get to know him some more).
No, I think you are developing some good instincts about guys who are probably bad news. You don't "owe" ANYONE a "chance"--remember that. If your attraction for him is fading, there's a good reason for that.

I mean, really, THINK about it. Why would you EVER try to "get over" the fact that you aren't attracted to someone for the sake of giving him a chance? There will be decent guys you WILL be attracted to, and if you're tied up with some loser you feel sorry for, you will miss out on those relationships.
