Well, you've already been given lots of sane advice and commentary, but my feeling is... I don't think I can say much of any help here, actually. For what it's worth: my standards of aesthetic attractiveness are rather wide, but finding someone pretty doesn't mean I find them attractive on a sexual level. In fact, as much as I know most people would find this hard to believe of me, I have a very low sex drive and am rarely attracted in a sexual sense to anyone, excluding those hormonal moments everyone has sometimes. However, I am emotionally attracted to people very easily, and I also am generally very tactile, which is where I differ from you. Luckily Mari is much the same as me in all the above regards.

My advice is, no matter how much you like someone as a person, don't date them if thinking about kissing them or whatever just feels wrong, even if you think they're pretty. It's bound to end in disaster, and probably quite quickly.

What it says about you, I think, is that you're the kind of person who's not very tactile or easily sexually attracted to other people, but that doesn't mean you're not a romantic. It just means your definition of romantic is different to most people's-- I, for example, do not believe in love at first sight, but I would still class myself as the romantic type.

Was there a point to all this? For someone who doesn't know what she's saying this is really long. Sorry, I hope it makes SOME kind of sense. ^^;
