There has to be attraction on some level.
My husband and I aren't hot, rip off our clothes everyday kind of attraction, but there is still attraction. Even though that would be nice....
So I think the wild animalistic attraction is awesome...but you don't have to have it, or maybe you start that way, but it evolves into something different.
Short answer: no.
Physical attraction is what sets the wheels in motion.
They can come to a grinding halt if what comes out of his mouth isn't to my liking or mine to his.
Even if I'm not physically attracted? Long shot. I'd imagine the trade-off would have to be pretty big...
thank you for your answers, i believe charisma is the one important. Altho charisma and physical attraction are win win combinations
Umm NO,If there is no initial attraction then how can there be any kind of lust. Maybe I am too blonde to figure that out or DUH!
No, I wouldn't, although I fully understand that once you've been in a relationship for a long time, that animal lust thing either settles down or you have to constantly work at it. Initially going into a relationship, however, that physical chemistry *has* to be there.
Once you've invested a lot and have a strong connection in non-physical ways, the answer to that Q may become more complicated, but unless you're both older (ie. when hand-holding, cruises and pigeon feeding in the park become the focus), I think two people in a relationship owe it themselves to try to work on the sexual spark and see if you can get it back.
No, there's always a hint of physical attraction to a person in any type of a relationship, sexual or not. It what helps us determine what is beautiful and appealing to our own selves.
Something about a person is always sexy. .a great laugh crooked grin the way they listen to u as if u are the only person in the world...but without the za za zou as miranda said in sex in the city..its za za eww
Your question specifically mentions dating - I suppose you mean "going out with" as opposed to "having sex with". I have "been out with" men I haven't felt strongly physically attracted to, mostly because they've piqued my interest or been really sweet. A lot of work comes my way through personal contacts but I'm glad to say I've never dated a man for professional reasons, although I've had offers and, I believe, lost work as a consequence.
Anything more and it's needed real physical attraction. I know it mellows with familiarity - my partner and I have been together for years and of course it's changed - but the underlying animal lust is there. I was instantly in lust when I met my partner for the first time. If we're still together in thirty years, I want that lust to be there.
In the past, women had to accept the love lives they were handed by their men. I don't see why, in this day and age, any woman should have to put up with second-best feelings and third-rate love, emotional or physical.
I don't think so! Guys like that fall into the friend category, not the dating category.
Not a chance! Now there are good friends that you would never date. But one of those days when the chemistry is just right magic can happen.
Nope. If I hang with a guy because we're friends and I like his personality, I don't call it dating. But I wouldn't be in a sexual relationship with any guy I wasn't hot for.
I have often accompanied a guy to a function on a couple of occasions not expecting it would end in bed. Yes I can like a guy and not desire his sexual attention.
