Let's Get Physical...

Hope everyone had a good weekend! Mine was great until 6 p.m. Sunday afternoon when my Cowboys choked on some mountain air, damn you!

Anyway I want to talk about physical attraction. I went out on a blind date on Saturday night with David #2. We met online and talked on the phone several times before deciding to meet. I was excited and actually not nervous at all. I think i'm just in a place right now where I can truly just put myself out there with no fear. SO we met up and had dinner and went to a comedy club afterwards. I had a BLAST. He is so funny and so smart, I mean I did not at any point quit laughing at dinner. He's a riot. He has a very good job and makes a nice living and his very stable, or so it seems. We have a ton of things in common, like the same music, movies, food....etc... we have a very similar out look on life and work and family and friends, and all that good stuff. Basically on paper we are the perfect couple.... BUT and it's a big but...

I have NO, ZERO, ZILCH, NADA, physical attraction towards him. It's not that he's ugly or anything. I mean he's not that cute but I am just not feeling it at all. What should I do since everything else is right???? Should I go out with him again? I don't want to string him along. Is it possible for someone to be your complete match but not be attracted to them? Is physical attraction something that can develop later? I need your thoughts! Thanks, as always for your input!

    I think its totally up to u! I belive u can put 2 total strangers on the phone for a month. One not so good looking and one very. Those 2 talk every day. When they do meet, they wont care what the other one looks like. They are already in love with each other. The more u see each other, looks might not matter.

    I'm not a shallow person at all. I'm not a Victoria Secret Model so I'm not expecting to date a Calvin Klein model, ya know. I just want there/need there to be some sexual tension, right?

    Having this same problem right now! I feel for you, I was so attratced to my ex, he was in the room and I wanted him, still think of him physically and he still turns me on, but he is a jerk! But none the less I want to just grab that man! Now new guy comes along and he is kind, a btter match, yet I just dont want anything physical! Im not picturing him naked or anything, I hold back on anything physical, so I dont know if you can feel a spark later on or not. Its so much easier when it is there from the start.

    OMG!!! It's as though I wrote this!!! I have been single now for 4 years and seems that I go thru this more often than not. I have met some wonderful men just as you have written... we laugh, have the same interests, values, morals etc... etc... but to me if the physical attraction isn't there then I just cannot go forward with a relationship other than as friends. I don't consider myself a shallow person. I just know that attraction and sex are just as important to a relationship as communication. I hope to get some good reading from the comments here. Good luck!
