I’ve been in a deep friendship with a guy for over two years. About six months into the relationship, we kissed, and while he wanted to take our relationship to the next level, I didn’t feel anything for him, so I backed off. Since then, we have been doing the really good friend thing, and I have come to love him very deeply. Recently, he tried kissing me again, and for some reason I still don’t feel anything. I would love to be in a relationship with him, but I’m not attracted to him in the way that I’m attracted to other guys I have “crushes” on; I do not lust for him. I’ve never been in a relationship, and so I don’t know what to expect. My friends tell me that I should “feel something when I’m with him”, but I love being with him and I already feel like we have that deep of a connection. Is this normal, and should I take our relationship to the next level even though I’m not sexually attracted to him?
