Starting a Relationship Without Feeling Passion

So, I've been going out with someone for a few months, but I was seeing other people at the same time because I didn't want to give my heart away. In short, now I've only been going out with her for a while because she insisted so much on us being together. I love being with her, I feel a strong desire just touching her, the kiss is amazing, and there's a lot of affection. But I believe that because I blocked that initial feeling, I don't feel that heartwarming passion nowadays. What would you do? Would you start a relationship? Can that crazy passion come later?

I think you should end the relationship so she can find someone who truly values her, and seek some therapy about your perspective on relationships.

If you’ve been going out with her ‘for a few months’, surely you’ve already ‘started a relationship’?

You seem to me to be rather confused.

You say "I love being with her, I feel a strong desire just touching her, the kiss is amazing" then you say "I don't feel that heartwarming passion".

Aren't these two statements directly contradictory?!

I think you might be scared of being vulnerable to getting hurt and that is why you have fostered some self-sabotaging beliefs. They don't seem to be founded on the actual realities of spending time with her.
