Is it normal to love your boyfriend but not find him that attractive?

My boyfriend and I have been together for 2 years and we are both 20. I thought he looked a bit odd when I first saw him but found that he was lovely to talk to and decided to persue him.

I remember saying to my friends ''i know he isnt that good looking'' before showing them a picture of him.

This all makes me sound shallow but I love him so much and we are very happy together but I find other guys more attractive even though I dont want to be with them. I'm faithful and committed but I just wonder if theres something wrong with me to think like this so early in a relationship.

Am I just realistic or is this a problem?

    Yes its normal to find other people attractive in a relationship. i mean its just how were built, theres always someones thats gonna be attractive. Its just how it is. Even you say you do find them attractive but dont want to be with them. So your good. You sound loyal and trustworthy. But just makes sure you dont go into certain situations where you can develop feelings for them. Theres boundaries is what im saying, thats obvious. And try not to like stare at them when your spending time together lol.

    I think its cool that you look past his looks. Cause i believe that nowadays looks matter way to much than they should. I think its cause of the freakin media, how every main character in a movie or show has to ALWAYS be good looking. And you have ugly people as bad guys. Its fucking ridiculous. Cause of media our definition of beauty has to be hollywood celebrities..

    Of course it is! It means you are not shallow and can see past looks.

    Maybe you could give him some tips on a style that will accentuate his body type a little more
    As a guy I like it when people give me suggestions on things I can do to that would suit my body more. I don't mind being called ugly as long as it's followed by advice lol.
    I have found that a little style goes a LOOONG way.

    I felt the same way about my ex I used to think he was ugly and I told myself I'd never go out with him but I loved him more than anyone else so we went out and he used to always get jealous and asked his friends if they thought I was too pretty for him but it just proves that looks aren't so important

    Yes, it's normal I think. But, you need to take his feelings into account. You should tell him you don't see this as a long term relationship. I would suggest you either choose you want to be with him and stay steady, or just to become his friend. It is THE worst kind of pain to love someone who doesn't feel the same way about you. And don't forget, personality remains after beauty goes away.

    oh my haha well i dont like brad pitt tbh .. more of a robert pattison fan ;) (not because of twilight) lol Thanks everyone! Those comments are very helpful and have really good and true points (especially about the media and how looks arent as important as personality.)

    No I wouldnt tell him that I don fancy him as much as I though because what would we gain from that :') I think he is more cute sometimes than anything but I think I see him in different lights depending on how we are getting on etc.

    I would never go steady without the intentions of it being permanent but if we ever broke up we would still be best friends (as we have agreed.)

    Thanks again for the advice guys ^_^

    It is not a problem... unless you tell him that you think like that and he takes it bad.

    I guess that as long as you are happy and you have good sexual chemistry, there's nothing wrong with what you think.
