I'm dating this guy named Brandon. He's everything I ever needed in a boyfriend. He puts me before himself and we play these cute games that only we would understand. We sit under the stars late at night and look for shapes in the clouds. The only problem is that I don't feel sexually attracted to him at all. Yes, I know that sex isn't everything. When I have a boyfriend, I'm usually doing whatever I can to be with them, or to cuddle with them, but with Brandon, I push him away sometimes. If that makes sense?
One of mine and Brandon's friends (I'll call him Chris) told Brandon a few days ago that me and him don't seem like we could be more than friends. Chris is like a brother to me, so he knows me very well. That got Brandon thinking, and he almost decided to break up with me. In a way, I wouldn't have cared because I kinda feel that all we'll ever be is just friends. But another part of me doesn't want to lose him because he's the best boyfriend I'll probably ever have. He chose not to break up with me because he's liked me for a long time (at least 3 years) and he doesn't want to throw it all away.
If we ended up breaking up, I'd still consider him one of my best friends, and I know he'd do the same.
What should I do? Stay with him, or break up with him? If I break up with him, how should I do it?

Sex isn't everything, but if you love someone, and are in love with them it is a very important part of the relationship. You seem to love him, but not be in love with him. By staying with someone that you are not sexually attracted to, you are cheating yourself and him out of a magical experience between two people. Just beware that when people say thay will remain friends, that doesn't always happen. [ gnosticjewls's advice column | Ask gnosticjewls A Question ]
