Is it ok to break up with someone you don't love, never did?

[Anonymous]

After nearly a year of dating him, I decided to break things off. I could never connect to him deeply. I wasn't even sexually attracted to him too much either. When kissing, it felt dull and as if I was kissing a stranger, no passion whatsoever.

I felt as if I was dating him out of compassion but not really loving him in a romantic manner. I love him as a brother, as a friend but not as a woman in love.

Yes

No

you want to be stuck with someone that you don't love?
That is exactly why break ups were invented.

I really thought I would get to love him one day.

I've been there, then you have to figure out does he love you the same way.
This relationship stuff is complicated.

Yes, i have. It sucks but its better for them.

Why did you get with them in the first place.

[Asker]

I wanted to love him so badly. I wanted to fall for him. I was trying but no use.

[Asker]

I also wanted to give him the time of the day. I was trying to make him feel wanted.
