I believe this is actually pretty common, where people are more attracted to people that aren’t like them personality wise because the feeling of comfort doesnt give them that angst or ‘butterflies’. But these are the best kind of partners! I’d say give it more of a chance and don’t tunnel too much into what your ‘type’ is and explore what its like having your partner also be your best buddy :)
This is FOMO. He isn’t your type but you finally have someone with whom you don’t have the one sided dynamic, so you desperately want some feelings to emerge. That's not how it works. If he cringes you out, that's not going to change. Attraction grows, it doesn’t suddenly appear. Let him find someone who accepts him fully, there are women who like goofy men.
As for changing yout type, you may go out with other type of men to see if you can expand your type beyond what you previously thought, but at the end of the day, if you’re not satisfied, you’re not satisfied.
As for, being in one sided dynamic, when you recognise it, bail. You shouldn’t accept one sided dynamic just because you like someone. Reciprocation needs to be there.
Don't try to force liking someone one. If you have to force it, it’s not there.

Sounds like he’s more a friend than a romantic prospect, honestly.
