I actually expected you to end with "how do I end this relationship without hurting him?" That you want to save it shows you still really care about him. All you can do is figure out WHY you're not attracted to him anymore. Has he gained or lost weight? Has his hair thinned or grown wild? Does he have some habit that you now find gross or annoying but hadn't noticed much before? A good method to find the differences would be to remember what you found attractive about him when you first met, and then compare those qualities to him now and see what's missing. After you figure it out, try to determine if there's anything that he can change that will reignite your attraction. Lastly, talk to him about it. Gently explain to him that you've noticed a declining physical interest between the two of you and ask if there's something he would like you to change to his liking. This way, you can ease into the things you want him to change. Try to make it an "us changing for the better" situation instead of a "you're not good enough anymore" one. If you discover that your tastes have just changed and there's nothing about him that he can alter to rekindle your interest, then you may have to move on, especially when the physical part of the relationship is important to you. I wish you the best of luck.

You know there are alot of things in a relationship that go up and down and make you second guess being with the person, but to me as soon as you are no longer attracted to them it is done. It is important ...extremely. With my ex boyfriend I was thinking about leaving him and then really got a fire under my ass when I would dread having sex with him and when i really had to i would just be begging for him to finish. Attraction doesnt necesarrily have to do with the way a person looks...its that connection you and your souls have ..without that your just friends.

In a relationship I am most attracted to someones personality, but obviously you have to be physically attracted to them as well. I dated this guy for a few years, the most awesomest guy I have ever met, but as time went on, it was more like we were just friends that had a really good time together, because I just WAS NOT attracted to him in anyway. Everything about him bothered me, and once that started happening, theres nothing I could really do to fix it. It was the way he dressed, his awful hair that you could just not fix, his eye brows, I started picking everything about his appearance apart. your either attacted to someone or your not. We ended it several years ago, and we've managed to stay really good friends. I have no suggestions on how to save this relationship, I also believe that you must be physically attracted to someone....but I think thats great that you want to save your relationship..good luck

I don't think it's possible. Or even fair on either of the people in the r/ship to 'hope it will go away' for that matter. If it's gone and not just a temporary phase. And if we're brutally candid with ourselves, we know the difference. Physical/mental attraction seem to be intrinsically linked somehow anyway. An important symbiosis in a r/ship/

Move on. Look for someone who can satisfy you physically. You already know the answer. Don't wait too long. Let him find somebody else.
