Would you date someone you are not physically attracted to?

Most likely not
I just... don't think it would be a good idea, for anyone.
Then again I've only ever had one girlfriend so I don't have that much to say on the matter.

No, in order for me to date a girl I have to be mentally, emotionally and physically attracted to the girl. The whole "appearance doesn't matter" thing is BS. Everyone has certain standards in people they date. And physical features they're attracted to. Some guys like big girls some don't. Some like short girls, some like girls with small breasts. Everyone has a different idea of what they find attractive. A girl for me doesn't have to be a model by any stretch, but they can't be obese. Or deformed looking, I'm not picky. I'm not being an as*hole when I reject someone for not finding them attractive, I just know it wouldn't work out because I'm not physically attracted to them.

No, such a person would be a friend.

I would date someone who I wasn't immediately attracted to but not someone I knew I would never be attracted to.

I recently came out of a relationship with a guy who I wasn't physically attracted to. It ended badly. So I would never do that again.

Not sure if this counts, but I've dated guys I wasn't attracted to initially, ie. they didn't really do much for me when we first met, but I found them really attractive once I got to know them better as a friend, coworker, etc. Usually the physical attraction part doesn't fully kick in for me unless I find there are other things I like about being around them; sometimes it can sneak up on me over time.

She doesn't have to look just like Alexz Johnson and Pascale Hutton for me to want to date her but she does have to be a bit attractive in my eyes for me to want to be with her for a long time. After all, I need to spend my whole life with this person.

Probably not. A close friend perhaps, but I do not see the whole intimacy and romance working if there is no physical attraction.

I agree with the majority of people that say no. I did this once and I feel bad about it.
Don't date someone to just make them happy as you need to be happy too. He or she may be this all in one package but if you are not attracted to him or her, it won't work. At best, you can be friends but nothing more.
Attraction does not have to be looks though most people go for looks, it can be anything about him or her.

I'm not judgmental and i find almost all women attractive but if i am not attracted to the person i would still go out with them but.only as friends
