Could you date a person or get into a relationship with a person that you are NOT physically attracted to? Please Explain!
I find it VERY difficult to date a person that is not my type physically. I know it's wrong because looks should be the LEAST of my worries. You could miss out on a great person if you are only focused on the physical attraction between the two of you. I also understand that beauty fades but a good personality is something that will last forever but I still find it difficult to see past the fact that i'm NOT physically attracted to the person.

Yes I have dated a guy who wasnt that great looking and we got along really good and still do.
He has a great personality so thats what mainly made me attracted to him and I learned to love him for him and all his flaws LOL!
Its a hard thing because if you say your not physically attracted to him then and you cant get over that then you should let him know from the door you dont want to be with him in a romatic way whatever you do just make sure you dont lead him on because he could get hurt in the end.
If he has such a great personality then maybe you both would be better as friends instead of in a relationship..that might work out better but as your best friend I know what WE could lose out on if you do tell him your not feeling him like that and I would be devastated! LMAO!
Whatever you decide in the end just make sure your honest with him from the door (I Guess)

LMAO. You're too funny! We don't want you to miss out on anything. You know you have "friend perks." The fact that i'm a flirt makes this all the more difficult. LMAO. Anyways, I will miss you girl. Call me when you get back!

I think a lot of times my perception changes as I get to know a person. I've dated some guys, that at first glance I wouldn't have found attractive, but as I got to know them, I found them more and more attractive. One of my exes definitely didn't look like most of the guys that I'm typically attracted to. He was barely taller than me, and super skinny. If I was just going on looks alone, I never would have dated him.
