I've known this girl for almost 7 years now, and we've been good friends during that time. Back in high school I was her prom date (as a friend). We hung out a lot, we can make eachother laugh, etc.
There have been several people over the years who have mentioned that they think she "loves" me. Years after high school she told me she liked me, but always thought I wasn't interested so she didn't pursue it. Asking me to be her prom date was a way for us to go out together, she said.
Here is the problem though... while I think she's funny, enjoyable to be around, and is a nice person, I'm not particularly attracted to her.
Now she's not unattractive by any means. She's had a steady supply of boyfriends, always gets flirted with, and I have been floored by how good she's looked more than once. She is good looking, she's just not "my type".
Is it fair to reject her on that basis though? Without physical attraction I think I'd be looking elsewhere, and could end up hurting her.
