Would you date someone your not physically attracted to?
Let's say you get along great and your personalities match. However physical attraction is not there at all and I don't think I can get around it. We are friends but she is a big girl and a lot older. Wants to be more then friends. Could you date someone your not attached to or am I being shallow?

I don't think it is shallow. Because in my opinion, I am this way with my friends. Our personalities click but I am definitely not attracted to them, so we wouldn't move out of friend stage. Some people may think it is shallow but I don't think so. Sex is an important part of a relationship. Not the number one part, personality does come first, but if you know you are going to want sex then don't waste either of your time.

Sometimes the physical attraction comes later…I mean I have dated some "ugly" guys, but I really didn't care. My ex became unattractive me…I mean several times I would look at my ex-fiance and be like "He's so ugly…what do I see in him? Our kids would probably be only good looking because of me" (that sounds conceited and awful, I know, but it is true. Everybody said he was ugly)
But then other times he'd be the most attractive thing there. When we first met, I didn't think he was the most attractive thing out there and I probably would have passed on him if it wasn't for a connection that I felt. I went on my instinct with the personality and not his looks, and it worked for a while but he was an effed up individual, so just watch out and make sure she isn't potentially going to be crazy...
I mean what I am saying is that you could give it a chance and if you aren't feeling it, back out.

No, the physical attraction has to be there. It's not shallow...if the attraction is not there it's called being good friends.

no you are not being shallow. obviously there is a lot more to a relationship than physical attraction but it IS a big part of it. i know people will tell you "oh beauty is more than skin deep blah blah" but at the end of the day if you are not attracted to someone and your sex life is crap then then the relationship is going to suffer, badly.

Personally, I couldnt.
And you wouldnt be doing her justice by "settling", because then the relationship is doomed from the beginning. I think you should stay friends with her, and let someone who actually finds her attractive and likes her personality to come along. Then I think you would both be happier.
