 Would you date someone is everything about them is great but your not attracted to them? I have a friend who I have told i am not ready to date and he's been great, and haven't pushed boundries but I am not attracted to him and I really don't think that is going to change. What should I do? Tell him that we will never be in a relationship?

If he is a good friend I would tell him that you don't want to ruin a great friendship. I know people that have tried to date their friends & things after that were never the same again.

I agree if it's right you may become attracted later

That's tough...my cousin had a friend like that.  Super guy.  Bought her everything she needed.  She loved being  his friend, but wasn't attracted to him sexually.  Then they got drunk together one night, ended up sleeping together, she ended up pregnant and he has been so good to her ever since.  They are dating now.  And everyone says to her "Wow, good job with finding him!  He's great!"

I would date a friend.  In fact, I've already asked him out, but he had other plans.  He's the only single dude that I know close to my age and has something in common with me.  I hope he asks me out soon.  It's really the only way I may end up being with someone again.  I refuse to date anyone on-line.  I've been set-up twice and both of them by friends of mine - both of the guys were duds.  Go out with him if he asks.  It doens't hurt just hanging out.  He's a friend afterall, right?  He's just a male friend.  Who knows you might feel other feelings later on.  If not, then remain just friends.

If you don't see yourself ever attacked to him than I wouldn't try to date him.

Attraction is important I wouldn't be able to date someone that I wasn't attracted to.

I wouldnt try it till the attraction is there. Trust me it won't work & you'll find yourself looking else where for that attraction. & possibly ruining a friendship.

How long has it been since you had that talk? Maybe just give it more time? Is there something specific about him, like too tall too short too fat too skinny? Or is it more because you dont feel he's responsible or something?

I would just be honest with him and tell him what you told us.
