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.

Nope it sounds like a situation doomed to fail by default I think everybody wishes to be seen as attractive by there partner and to some degree its required for a long term relationship to work unless u guys just forgo the physical side of a relationship

No absolutely not... That would ultimately be a sheer waste of time.

I love my sister, my parents, and my dog. None of them are attractive to me, but they give me good vibes. I think that right now tou love him like avrotther because the physical attraction isn't there.

Physical attraction is part of it. Move on. Let him find someone who loves him for him.

No, that would not work for me.
