I have had entire relationships like this they never worked out in the end.

I have to be physically attracted to someone in order to have an ongoing relationship with them, that being said, I would give it a few dates, because sometimes as you get to know someone, you fall for them, and a person you wouldn't even give a second look, can become the most gorgeous/handsome person you have ever seen, if you know them.

It depends really, because I don't generally date someone I'm not in lust with.

I wasn't physically attracted to my ex-husband when we first met, but I gave him a chance anyway and he grew on me. I ended up loving him, and the attraction came later.

I would give em a shot, if they didn't start to grow on me by the end of date two I
would call it off.

I wouldn't be able to date someone that I wasn't physically attracted to. I think that physical attraction and chemistry is just as important as being attracted to someone's personallity.

If the person has a great personality, I would go out with the person until the attraction develops. The longer I spend time with the person, the more I know about the person's great personality, and that is very sexy. Eventually, the sexiness of the personality will make me believe that the person is also physically sexy.

I agree, but it's been a million years since I was in the dating scene. I didn't really like it then, and I hope I don't ever have to do it again.

I'm normally attracted or unattracted to someone until they talk. If they can make me laugh a lot then no matter what they look like, they just became instantly hot/sexy/cute and my attraction only builds. Lol. But maybe I'm just weird.

At what point does "date" become "hang out with"?

I hate to sound shallow, but I can't date someone I'm not physically attracted to.

For me it depends because sometimes attraction can grow over time. After a while if there doesn't seem to be anything growing then I will go from there, but the relationship at least deserves a chance to see if it will work out or not.

I have dated some, because if they stimulate me mentally and emotionally... I can be physically attracted

I don't go by someones looks - they change with time. I like a person for whats inside - thats what really counts!

Not to sound shallow, but I wouldn't even go on one date if I didn't find the other person attractive. My feeling is; (and this isn't just limited to physical attractiveness) there are over 6 billion people in world, there is no reason why anybody has to settle for less than what they consider perfection. People always say "Well, he/she has a great personality, it doesn't matter that they aren't very attractive." Well, I'm here to tell you that you can find attractive people with great personalities as well. Nobody should sell themselves short.

I don't really find myself physically attracted to the opposite sex as much as I find myself mentally attracted to them. If I found the person physically unattractive I might be a bit more shallow and I probably also don't know them that well to know if I'm mentally attracted to them.

None.
I'm not going to pursue a relationship with someone if there isn't immediate attraction. That's not so say that someone I date has to look a certain way, but if I can't imagine myself ripping their clothes off, I don't want to date them. Not even once.
There has to be sex appeal. It comes in all sorts of wrappings, but if it's not there, it's not there.

If there was NOTHING I was attracted to them for, then probably none.

But if there was something other than physical, quite a few.

2 date maximum...if the first date went really well but I`m still not feeling it towards the end of the second date, it`s pretty much over for me. I hate to sound a little shallow but I know I need to be physically attracted to the one I`m with in order to have sex, no matter how much people push the idea that beauty is a lightswitch away

I was in a LTR with someone I was not physically attracted to. Ultimately he had to feel the rejection, even though it was unintended. I would never do it again.

I'd give it a chance, sometimes you're just not mentally there the first few times to even notice an attraction until you get to know them more.

i'd give them a shot. but not like to long of a chance if i thought they were ugly.. then they'd just be a good friend if we got along. i would however date someone i just felt neutral about physically. you don't have to be super beautiful for me to want to date a girl. but i can't be turned off by ya. that's a given i think. you don't need to be amanda bynes or jennifer connelly, but you can't be uncle fester!

I take a while to warm up to someone. I need the brain fire to be there and sometimes the physical fire comes after. I give it 6 occurrences before someone gets relegated to the friend zone.
