It bothers me that my partner doesn't have strong opinions about things and she tends to agree with almost everyone.
It's a turn off for me, but I'm afraid to tell her so she won't get hurt.
What should I do?

Is she supposed to be a turn on for you all the time? Can she not just be who she is? By all means communicate with her but don't force her into something she is not.

Ahhhh, the turn off for you is what you see as weakness. But is she weak or does she not like to argue? Is she this way with everyone or just some people? Have you tried asking her? Next time you witness her agreeing, later when you're alone, ask her about it. Say something like you noticed she was agreeing with so and do about such and such, and is that how she truly feels? Be a safe place for her to be honest. She may have been raised to be nice at all cost, or raised around too much conflict so she now avoids it, who knows, there could be tons of reasons! Whatever the reason, she needs to know it's ok for her to speak her mind.
Thanks for this!

accept it as a blessing..if your partner wasn't as agreeable it could lead to many arguments, i myself abhor arguments and would much rather settle disputes diplomatically.

perhaps your partner is simply a easy going person.just because your partner doesn't have strong opinions about things doesn't mean they are a bad partner.
also consider this some things in life are a lot more trivial than we make them out to be, perhaps your partner realizes this and would prefer not to have a strong opinion about anything...perhaps your partner is content with things the way they are in your partner's life..thus eliminating the need for a strong opinion...hope this helps
