    I've been hanging out with this one girl for awhile now and she has become important to me. I'm not sexually attracted to her but I can tell that she is a beautiful girl. Is it weird that I can possibly love a girl even if I am only sexually attracted to men?

    You have to remember that a label does not define you. Even if you do consider yourself sexually attracted to one gender and/or sex, you can still have romantic feelings for others. I myself am a panromantic individual and have no sexual attraction to any gender and/or sex. I do have romantic feelings towards any and all genders and/or sexes, however.

    You have to ask yourself, though. "Am I romantically attracted to this girl? Or is the relationship strictly platonic?"

    You can't really move forward with a relationship until you figure out exactly how you feel. If you rush into things while still confused, it could make huge complications later on. I wish you luck in understanding your own feelings.
    Please try not to mistake love and friendship; I've gotten my heart broken that way before. An ex of mine thought they were in love, but really it was just platonic. They broke up with me, and I was heart broken. I had really thought we had something special; I really did. But, I was the only one with romantic feelings. So, yet again, I wish you luck.

    Well I'm not romantically attracted to this girl. It just weird to have a woman be important to me.

    I don't think it's weird at all. Sometimes you can just connect with people even if you don't have a sexual or physical attraction. It's like you just understand each other.
    Who wouldn't want a friend like that?

    Happy days :slight_smile:
