What would make a relationship work?

Question

What if you liked this person's personality, were good friends for a while - had things in common - was sexually attracted and physically but there were no sparks - do u think the relationship would work? I think if you are physically attracted then you would be sexually attracted.

Answer 1

You would both want to make it work. The spark is missing, but that fades over time anyway! You have companionship and friendship, and thats a good starting point.

Answer 2

I Had A Very Short Relationship With A Lovely Bloke,
Caring, Kind, Loving Everything You Could Want,
But There Wasn't Any Spark For Me,
We Are Still Friends But That's All We Will Ever Be.

Answer 3

Relationship is a very complicated matter. No-one can fully help you from this place. All depends on You. If you need wright support ask friends around you that know your "boyfriend". You must carefully check whole situation you are in before you hurt him or yourself. Love is like war. You can fail or win. Don't give up when you make some mistake. Sometimes its not to late. I almost forget "world belongs to brave people" so maybe you just have to make first "sparking" step by simple ask what he feels about you.

Answer 4

A relationship is a complex and dynamic interaction between 2 individuals. Entering into a relationship requires some form of desire from both parties to be together. There is risk of suffering involved. That being said, life-long relationships have many different beginnings, from arranged marriages to friends becoming lovers. Remember, love does not always mean, and for every after. You will never know unless you try.

Answer 5

That depends on a variety of factors,why is their no sparks?perhaps you are getting more of a friendly vibe with this person?Their are more things involved in choosing a life mate then just attraction,there has to be a spiritual and emotional connection as well.Whether a relationship would work depends on if you love eachother or not,are committed,willing to compromise and have open communication and mutual respect for eachother.

Answer 6

I think that you need to have a spark at the beginning. Its what makes the relationship exciting and why you cant wait to see them at the beginning. Things calm down after a while but its always nice to remember the intial stages when all you want to do is see each other. I think if you dont have that to begin with then whats the point?

Answer 7

I don't really understand what the difference is between physically attracted and sexually attracted?? They mean the same thing to me.

Do you mean that you find him good looking, but he doesn't turn you on?

That would mean that there's no chemistry between you. Not the best start for a relationship.

Answer 8

You should give it a go, but i don't belive in love it's a mind thing not a heart thing! heart just pumbs blood around your body! I think that only lucky people feel the spark! and these days there is no real man left, to feel the spark with.

Answer 9

sparks as you call them are caused by hyper active genes when when we are young .

everybody falls head over heels when they are to young to comprehend what love is .

we then waste years trying to find that same spark .

eventually age gives us the wisdom to realise that love is about wanting to share the rest our lives with another person .

it sounds to me as if you have a good foundation for a lasting relationship . good luck
