I would never kiss anyone (a girl) that I wasn't attracted to. Whoopi Goldberg could be a really nice person, but that wouldn't be enough for me to have a romantic relationship with her. My girl has to have the hots for me (which you know that she would) and I would have to have the hots for her.

Lmao....ok let me explain this to you. very simple. and any guy who says otherwise is either married, gay, or a goddamn liar. you can not have a relationship with a woman that is romantic without hoping to have sex with her at some point. that's really the whole point of being romantic with a woman.. you can have friends that are girls.. sure no problem. but let me ask you something.. you ever go rent a dvd an just shut it off half way through then take it back to the store.. lol I didn't think so.

Not possible. Sex or at least sexual attraction is extremely important. It really creates a strong and lasting bond.

You can still be attracted to someone in a sexless relationship and you can have a sexual relationship with someone you your not attracted to but no I don't think you can have a romantic relationship with someone you're not attracted to.

Of course you can have a romantic relationship without having sex. The real question is how long would one of those relationships last? And that depends on how important sex is in a relationship for the individual. I for one will not get into a sexless relationship.

Physical attraction is necessary however sex is not necessary. In fact sexual drive is a thing that needs to be dealt with in a proper way in a non marital relationship

I would classify a relationship like that as 'friendship' :-)

I really don't think that it is possible to love someone and not be attracted to them. Well I guess after something has fizzled out. But in terms of getting into a relationship, there WILL definitely have to be a part of you that is attracted to the other person in order for them to do that.

No physical attraction is important in a relationship because without it , it is just a friendship.

Does it ever annoy you that you're single?
random-ren asked 18 days ago

Yes, most of the time! I really wish I had a boyfriend/girlfriend!

A little, because I feel left out.

Not really...

Nope! I have too much fun being single!

What's there to be annoyed about?
