dating someone based ONLY on their personality...
When i was younger and more naive, i guess i used to think that there had to be a sexual attraction when dating somebody. OK, yes there is personality, but I thought since sex is important in a relationship in terms of expressing love and intimacy then having someone whom to you was hot was important.
But lately, I've been revising that belief. Thing is, over the past few weeks I've met a woman on facebook. I suppose, if being honest, she isn't my immediate type. That's not to say she is totally ugly, no, but she isn't necessarily someone i'd immediately go for. But chatting with her online and on the phone make me realize she is decent, wise and kind hearted. I'm not necessarily expecting anything here, but I suppose I'm warming to her because of her character traits alone.
Is it common to warm to somebody of the opposite sex based solely on his/her personality? Does an initial physical attraction have to happen for a relationship to work out?
