I like this guy, but I'm not physically attracted to him, what should I do?

I would have to agree with some of the points already mentioned. I believe you do have to have abit of both for a "real" relationship to occur. So abit of mental attraction and a bit of physical attraction.

Like already mentioned as well; How you view a person is greatly influenced by how you feel about him. It's easy to overlook different qualities...or small things when you have a crush on someone or are in love with them.

I would maybe take a step back and look at him and think too yourself what your really feeling; because it can be very awkward for a friendship when you try to initiate a relationship that was more than likely not ment to be from the start.

that's a tough one. Because physical attraction although not the most important thing in a person is still as important as everything else. I'm sure there are allot of really nice, awesome girls out there who are over weight and not the best looking girls. As shallow as it seems, I wouldn't be able to date them because I wouldn't be attracted to them. It's human nature to be attracted to someone. I found it hard to fall in love with the last girl I was with for 10 months. She wasn't a big girl, but she did have a belly. The belly did bother me some what, but what bothered me more was her hating her body to the point where she didn't want to get dressed up or go out.

Well I did that and went out with him thinking that something would spark if we started dating but it didn't. It just made kissing awkward and it ended disastrously. If you really like him maybe you should try going out with him just to see because you never know. All I know is be careful you don't ruin the friendship by breaking up because of lack of physical attraction.

Perhaps

When I loved my ex, she looks cute and nice. When I broke up with her, she looked ugly and fat. The way you think of a person changes depending on how you feel towards them.

But you shouldn't really worry too much about their looks as long as its not that bad. As long as he's "decent" then physically attracted to him can wait. I believe that appearance isn't everything.

Okay girl, listen up! The SAME EXACT thing happened to me. Okay, this guy was sweet and sensitive. He was fun to hang out with and we were the best of friends. I started to like him, develop feelings for him like you're doing. But that was after he told me he liked me.

At first I thought he ruined our friendship, but then I felt I started to like him also. We stared "dating", and soon told each other we loved each other. Woah, big mistake! After about 5 months, I started to feel like I was loosing interest in him. And at the same time another guy came into my life who had an amazing personality, but I was also extremely attracted to him.

I pushed the feelings down, and tried to tell myself I still loved my boyfriend, but I soon realized it was just a infatuation mixed with a love as a friend. I wasn't attracted to him, and I soon had to break it off. I think If I was physically attracted to him, I could have held on. But in reality I just ruined a friendship for pretending to "fall" for him.

DO NOT make the same mistake as I did. If you're not attracted to him, be his friend. I'm not saying looks are everything, but their a huge part of the relationship. You need to be attracted to him! So be friends unless you're SURE this is what you want. I hope this is wisdom to your ears, and I helped! :))

I think that's really sweet. But yeah your right, to me, i need to be physically and emotionally attracted to them. You should try it and maybe you will find out he is the type of man for you(:

Date him for a while and see how it goes. The chances of it lasting depend not only on if you are physically attracted to someone, its the person inside that counts. Than again, if your not physically attracted to someone the chances of a relationship lasting are quite slim.

Oh yes, in the process of gaining emotional attraction when you are dating the person also gains a physical attraction boost as well.

Yes continue to pursue the relationship, the physical stuff will come later. You said yourself you are starting to have feelings for him, dont worry the more you continue to have feelings for him, the more you will be attracted to him
