So there's this girl who I think likes me...

[LightbulbSun]

At least she warms up whenever she sees me. The difference is that I'm not attracted to her physically - I like her personality, but I just am not attracted to her.

 

Part of me is saying that I should just give it a shot, because I'm 27 and a dateless virgin, and I shouldn't be holding standards. On the other hand, is it worth asking for her number, if I'm not really interested in her?

 

Any advice would be helpful.

If you are not feeling any physical attraction towards this girl, why are going to force yourself to try something out? I feel like there needs to be a physical and mental attraction in order for two people to relate in an intimate level such as dating and relationships. I say don't pursue her until you start to feel an physical attraction between the two of you. If you do, there may be a mismatch of feelings involved. I've been in this situation many times before so I understand what's going on.

 

Also, there is nothing wrong with having standards. It shows that you know what you want in a person.

[LightbulbSun]

Fair enough.

 

I think I'll just befriend this girl. I'm having trouble reading her signs of interest, anyway, and friendship might be all she wants.

I'd go for it if I were you.

 

If she says yes, it could give some experience in dating.

Well one date wouldn't hurt.

 

But if she does turn your down you'll be feeling extra crappy
