	Should I continue dating a man without physical connection? He is more like a friend rather than a boyfriend

	Marjorie writes, "I have been dating a guy for the past 2 years. He's been a wonderful boyfriend. The only problem with him was that he was a little too physically demanding and this led to us not being physically close for long periods of time. After a certain amount of time he become busy with his life and me with mine - we hardly ever meet. And never get physically close - we are still dating but it feels more like friendship. In the meantime, I had a friend for the past 4 years who I was very close to. He has liked me for the past year and recently we started getting close. We spend a lot of time together and are physically close almost everyday. We have hidden this from everyone. And even though he knows I am with my boyfriend he says he still likes me. I can't break up with my boyfriend because I know he really likes me even though we hardly meet. What am I supposed to do?"

	The answer to this dilemma will come from what you value in a relationship. From what I know after talking to hundreds of my readers, regardless of how good a man is, ultimately physical intimacy is critical. If a couple does not have chemistry in bed, the relationship will fade away or both partners will be unhappy. It is only for so long that a girl can be with a man as a friend. That is why I think that this boyfriend is not really your boyfriend, he is simply a friend who happens to be a boy. There is no need to breakup because in reality you two do not have a relationship because you hardly ever meet and even when you do, only as friends. You are deluding yourself if you believe that he is your boyfriend. Additionally, you are creating unnecessary mental blocks that you cannot breakup with him just because he likes you because you are afraid of breaking his heart. It is okay to keep him as a friend but if you want a more normal and wholesome relationship, you have to pick the other man because with him you have chemistry on all levels.
