I just don't fancy him

I've been seeing this guy for a couple of months and on paper, he ticks a lot of boxes ie. he's really nice, romantic, considerate, proper job etc... only problem is, I don't find him sexually attractive.
Can relationships work without physical attraction??

Ok, you're right, I know you are. I've read enough of these boards to know to know that!

You have done the right thing. I was in a relationship like this. Tried to end it and he actually managed to persuade me not to. So we limped along until months later I came to my senses. Finally dumped him and not long after I met DH. It scares the life out of me that I might have stayed with ex and missed out on DH! It is possible to find the full package

yes, loneliness in a relationship is much, much worst than being single and alone

Well done OP, you've done the right thing.

You won't be single forever. You've found it's easy to meet nice enough people who aren't right for you. If you get really desperate you can just hook up with another version of him in the future.

I'm joking. But my point is settling is easy, which is why it's so damn unsatisfying. At least if you're single you have hope, but knowing you're with the wrong person and it's going to be closing you off to the right person is lonely as hell.
