I'm dating this guy. We have some things in common and others not, as relationships go...
The physical attraction is not there. Does it come later on? Or if it's not there now then it never will be? Should I just give it time?

Maybe it will develop later, as you get to know him better? In my experience, though, it has never worked out that way. Either the attraction's there or it's not, and trying to force physical contact without attraction tends to lead to revulsion. For me, anyway. Maybe you guys are better off just being friends.

I agree with Cheri...I could always tell from the first meeting if I was going to be physically attracted, and trying to build it from nothing just lead to disaster!

I think the suggestions are pretty right on.....think either it's there or it isn't.....not something that really grows with time.

Just my opinion though,

I thought it could grow...but there has to be some kind of physical chemistry...whatever you define that as...

I think that it could grow with time, maybe not in your case but it has happened as you see different facets of a person over time you could fall in love. There is no rush to fall in love anyway, be friends if it happens it happens. I think our notions of it has to be love at first sight is one of the reasons for the high divorce rate. A physical attraction is not going to be enough on its own to stand the test of time.
