If Jesus was alive today and had asked you to go on a date would you have went?

Isaiah 53:2,3

2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

That's the closest we would have to a physical description of Jesus.

Sometimes I wonder if that passage is describing, however, the appearance of the Suffering Servant more than the Messiah. In other words, is this depiction of him at his Passion and not possibly how he looked in real life?

I accept what most believe, and that is the passage is referring to how he appeared. But I find the verse referring more to his rejection at his passion than anything else.
