Is it normal to like a person but not be attracted to them

This guy is cool! He's great. PERFECT! and he gets me! He's so sweet! but I'm not physically attracted to him. He's cute and nice looking but I don't have that physical attraction you know that if-you-touch-my-arm-I'll-fall-to-my-knees type of attraction. That if-a-drop-of-icecream-dripped-on-your-face-I-would-kiss-it-off type attraction. I am 100% straight. I love boys. Boys I do adore. I don't get it he's perfect for me but I'm not attracted to him in that way. Is this a good thing because it means I'll focus on getting to know him only instead of thinking about how awesome his eyes are or how many sit ups he does a day. Moreover, is this normal?

    Maybe it's some kind of instinctual reaction. Maybe he has bad genes or a disease, meaning there's some biological, but unknown to you consciously, reason. It's entirely possible, it happens.

    He's everything you want, he's everything you need, he's everything inside of you that you wish you could be, he says all the right things at exactly the right time, but he means nothing to you and you don't know why.

    awww go for it! it sounds perfect, you got so lucky! after you get closer to him, he will become the most handsomest guy you know, believe me! looks will follow everything else, they should not take the lead. good for you!

    Your subconscious is trying to tell you that he's related to you.

    he's in the friend zone, girl. If he started putting the moves on you...you might just feel different.

    I am pretty sure only women can do this though.. in male-female situations that is.

    Like chris rock said any female friend a guy has is just a girl he didn't manage to fuck.

    Yeah I notice a girl doesn't have to be attractive but not totally ugly, atleast good facial features like full lips nice almond eyes and hair is VERY important to me, just study what it is you don't like. I notice also a great personality and time spent with the person causes strong attractions so give it time.

    Same thing happened to me. It didn't work out. Physical attraction is NOT the most important thing in a relationship, but I can't see it working out if you find him totally repulsive. I could even get myself to kiss this guy because I didn't find him attractive at all, so obviously, it will probably get in the way of your relationship. But you never know, you should still give it a try!

    Maybe it's stemming from your insecurity, I tend to make girls insecure because I'm a fitness nut, you said he may do tons of push ups? Maybe his arms aren't strong enough for you, I had that problem until I bulked up then girls literally told me it made them horny ;)

      It's not an insecurity. That's not what I meant by sit ups. I meant that I don't like him at all because of any part of his physical appearance. It's not that he's not bulky . It's just that I don't have any type of physical attraction to him.
