How Important Is Physical Attraction???
5 Replies

Started this discussion. Last reply by LadyElaine Jun 17.

I just ended a four month relationship with a great guy because I wasn't physically or romanticly attracted to him. I met him on a Christian Dating site in January 09, we sent pictures, e-mailed and talked on the phone for a month before we actually met because we live 3 1/2 hrs apart. When we did first meet, it was great to finally see him in person, not just see a picture, or hear his voice on the phone, but I knew right then I wasn't attracted to him, but we connected in so many other ways...He's a strong chrisitian guy, growing in his faith, we have similar beliefs about family roles, money, children, all the biggies... We liked the same kind of things, we got along well. I really liked him. So we went on a couple of dates after that, about once a month when we could get together and in between each time we saw each other I was fervently praying that God would let me be physically attracted to him. Finally this last time that we saw each other, I had this overwhelming feeling that we could not be more than friends. So I told him. So I guess I'm confused, I wait for years to meet a great Christian guy that has all the qualities I'm looking for and when I finally do, I'm not romanticaly attracted to him. Am I shallow? I mean I'm not looking for movie star looks....How much should physical attraction matter in a relationship? Can physical attraction come with time? Or did I just mess up a really good thing? I would really like to hear your thoughts... thanks, Penny Reply »

Hi Everyone,

I just ordered the Get Married book today. I can't wait to start reading it for good practical ideas and lots of encouragment.

I never thought I would be in my 30's and still be single, it just never occured to me but of course it occured to God, He knows what's going on. I'll just keep trusting Him.

I would love to meet new friends and pray for you as you pray for me.

Penny

I'm just writing to say that I hope that you had a good day today and that God knows your heart and He loves you. :) He has numbered the amount of hairs on your head because He is in love with you and can't help spending time with you. I pray that God's love and closeness bless your heart this week and you will know just how much God loves you and just how very, very special you are to Him. :)

God's blessings on you sister,
Alicia

Sorry it took so long for me to reply... Hey, we should get together and hang out sometimes. I see that we like to do some of the same things. I come out to suffolk some days. My girlfriend lives downtown. But I'm usually hanging around Portsmouth or Chesapeake some days. Email me and we can exchange numbers, it would be great to meet you!
