Could you date a girl/guy who doesnt want physical contact?

Post Reply New Topic

Could you date someone who doesn't want to kiss or have sex or any sort of physical contact? Hugging might be the only exception.

I'm sort of on the asexuality spectrum so I can be fine without the sex & I'd be OK without the kissing but I love cuddling so I voted for No

No, would mean a big part of the affection was gone.

For me, the answer is a simple, no.
I believe that in a relationship, especially when it comes to dating someone, there needs to be some form of affection.
How would you be able to express your emotions and what you're feeling to the other person, if physical contact was out of the question ?
Physical contact is necessary for me in a relationship, but that's just my own personal opinion.

If then didn't want any physical contact EVER, then I would say no. If they just didn't want any physical contact for a while (eg until the relationship became really serious or we got married), then I would probably be ok with it depending on the circumstances.

Yes, I could seeing as I don't like being touched at all 99% of the time.

I said no. I mean, if there was no physical contact the relationship wouldn't get very far.
I have my own contact limits but I was thinking hugging and kissing would be ok, but according
to darkphantomx1 even kissing is going too far.

For a while I could but eventually it would probably need to change.

Hell no.

That's literally the only thing separating a friendship from a romantic relationship. Without affection and even sex, it might as well just be a regular friendship.....

As a friend sure but I doubt it could last as some monogamous romantic relationship if there was zero physical contact.

Yes, I would date this kind of person, this sounds good to me.

Not a chance. I enjoy sex way too much to ever consider a sexless relationship.

I can see how two people who don't like sex or are asexual could have a loving relationship w/o physical contact, though.

But it's certainly not for me.

No for supporting trump. Because doing so is deplorable.

I think more important to me is if they've already established how they feel about physical contact and how much they want/need. I've been down the road of dating someone who isn't sure how they feel about physical contact and it was a horrible experience, and I felt used.

Either way I think not. It's not a huge deal to me because I'm not a touchy/feely person and sex isn't the biggest deal to me in the world but I can't imagine it being anything short of a friendship without physical contact.

Someone who was hesitant, but would do it when she warmed up to me, sure. If she would be like that for the duration of the relationship, than no.

I said no because I enjoy the physical aspects of a relationship too much. It wouldn't really feel like a relationship to me without that. To those of you have have been in platonic relationships, how does it feel different than a friendship with someone? For me, it would be hard to tell the difference between a romantic relationship and a close friendship with no physical contact besides hugging.
