Of course not, you have to have some sort of attraction to be together or it's just not going to work. but it depends on what attraction you mean, if you mean "can you date someone who isn't very attractive in looks" then yes, you can, because being with someone who has a great personality can be much more rewarding that being with someone with just great looks. but hey don't get me wrong it's possible to get 2 in 1 and when you find that kind of person then don't let them go, they are definitely rare treasures. So summing this all up, two people cannot expect a relationship to work if one of you are not attracted to the other, for the other will know if you do not like them and so it would not be fair to them and not fair to you either, you should be with someone who makes you happy and who you are attracted to in many ways than one. :-)
hopefully i've helped somewhat :-) happy dating!!

Typically no. There usually has to be SOMETHING that attracts you to the other person in the first place, this attraction may NOT even be PHYSICAL.
For example I wasn't physically attracted to my bf, he is shorter than I like and skinnier than I like however, the more we talked the more I found we had in common and that is what attracted me to him. We have been living together now for 10 months and we are expecting a baby in about 6 weeks and I am glad I was able to over look his being short and skinny in order to get to know him better. In fact the more I know the more attracted I am. That and over the summer he has been doing work outdoors and has gained some weight (because I'm such a good cook ;-)) and he tans nicely... mmmm yummy

Honestly, I wasn't attracted to my fiance when I first met him (but there's a big difference between not being attracted to someone and being totally repulsed by someone's looks). I didn't think he was ugly or anything, I just didn't have that "Wow, he's good looking!" thing going, for him. We were friends first, but after getting to know him, his personality and all the other great aspects of him completely took over and now to me, he is the most attractive man in the world!

Why would you date someone your not attracted to????? I thought that the reason you date someone is you find them attractive.

That question is so vague, but I take it you mean "attracted to physically". I think every person is different, but there needs to be a spark of chemistry, yes. Otherwise you're left trying to build a fire with no matches and no wood.

no, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and if you are not attracted to that person, then it will not work. everyone who is cute to you might not be cute to someone else, so if you cant find an attraction, then you're stuck.

You CAN, but since dating is a very emotional area, it is not advised. You should try dating people that you like. They lead to more happiness and prospects of real connection.

Yes.
Why you would is beyond me, there has to be some sort of attraction there in order to have a healthy relationship.
