A "spark" with someone?

So I've been dating a guy who other's would consider attractive and I agree he is but there is just no spark!
There is another guy I like who others would consider less attractive but I have a spark with him and find myself attracted to him so much more because of the spark. I'm not talking about personality spark, just a spark that draws me to him, I don't know what it is but it's quite strong.

Does that make sense?
How is it possible to have such a strong spark for someone and not the other even though the other one is more attractive?

Err, are you serious? Attractiveness is not just external.

Because a dark is exactly that - it's about more than looks.

Why are you more concerned about what others will think of what your "less attractive" love interest looks like, they are not dating him? Go for the one that gives you fizzy knickers and have fun.

Because sometimes you just click with people.

My ideal Man is Phil Mitchell (EE), so attractiveness is subjective.

IME, you'll have better sex with those you click with.

you just have to follow your heart, looks will fade but a spark is for eternity - my first three husbands were gorgeous but good looks don’t equal happiness- by current boo is below par but by god, the spark x

good luck x

In a similar situation OP, my ex and I have been talking and messaging back and forth (we remained friends so that's fairly normal) and he wants to meet/go out for drinks on a date and I've said I'm happy to meet up as friends because despite us having a lot in common (and him being bloody gorgeous, he's also a paratrooper so yay uniform) there isn't a spark their and while we'd enjoy our time together it would be rather flat. Which is incredibly annoying, because I know he likes me and most women would jump at the chance to have him yet I'm crushing on my nerdy, compsci student (yet still attractive just in a slightly different way) friend who may or may not like me but there is a spark there and he challenges me in a way I'm not used to, being around him makes me a better person but there is also this underlying tension there, my best friend says that even when we're acting 'normally' around each other there's always an edge there that screams I'm waiting for you to make a move. But I'm a coward and he's a gentleman haha nah he's just awkward and british Grin
