I have a good mate who I totally love to bits but i don't fancy him......any more!

Greeting people,

I would have say yes, but that's only in the contexts that the individual was with a gathering in a social event though you don't find them attractive at first, as time passes and the layers are peal away you find that person you do truly like, then a little spark will ignite a small flame O' yes,

On the other hand if you meet the individual in passing they will be dismissed immediately and you will never know now will you.

i think its possible to love someone without fancying them, there are different types of love, i dont think a long term relationship could work, but i'd like to be proved wrong!

It is completely possible to love someone who doesn't make your heart flutter. Usually I find that in that case, it's about much more than just the initial physical jolt of lust.

What about the idea of..
loving someone...but not BEING in love with that person?

Feel this is the same as saying..love someone, but dont fancy them..
I'm proberly wrong...lol

it depends on the love definition in your mind at that time, I had many relationships started as friendship, or protective love, sympathy love, and when I met them thought I’ll never sleep with her as time goes by and I discovered other side of her then I started fancying her and we ended being good lovers, incidentally there is a saying love is blind, and many societies have no room for fancy and first impression for their spouses, now a days I take it as it comes, never say never again. so better start slowly and find out other qualities in your companion lover .

It's possible, unless my ex was lying to me for 6 years

For me, love is so much deeper than just looks. Ok, lust and sexual desire is usually hangin' around somewhere but there are a multitude of things that make you fall in love. From the simplest things like the way they walk or talk, that person makes you smile constantly. The best feeling of all is that warm, tingly sort of feeling you get when cuddled up together in front of the TV.

So yeah, i think you can fall in love without fancying someone because it happens over a longer period of time. At first, you may not physically fancy them much but as time goes on and you fall deeper in love, that person becomes more attractive in a much deeper way.
