Could you date someone you aren’t physically attracted too?

Anonymous

I’ve fallen in love with my best friend of now 8 years. However i’m not attracted to them.. physically. I’ve admitted this to them and they’re willing to work on it to be with me but i can’t help but feel somewhat guilty for loving someone i’m not personally attracted to when there’s other girls out there that would like him just the way he is. specially knowing he has self-confidence issues with his appearance. he isn’t ugly at all he just isn’t my usual “type” and I know appearance’s can change over time and that feelings can turn into attraction but what would you do in this situation? i’ve heard people say “give it a try” and some say “don’t waste his time” but i genuinely do love this boy and i know he loves me. The way he makes me feel is unlike anything i’ve ever experienced in my life. Could i just be overthinking this? have you ever dates someone you weren’t initially attracted too? how did it work out for you? what advice do you have for my situation? thank you.
