Can I be attracted to a gender but not in a sexual way? Like I want to be with them but not have sex with them?

Yes, of course you can. A common misconception is that there are things you can't feel when it comes to your sexual orientation or your relationships with others. Asexuality, for example, does not mean an absence of romantic interest in others, just the absence of a sexual one. Of course you can also like one gender sexually and the other romantically, or both romantically and only one sexually, and so on. The list is long.

Yes, there are differenttypes of attraction besides sexual attraction. It is very possible you might be experiencing one of those other attractions towards that gender. Some other attractions you can experience are: romantic attraction (wanting to do romantic things with them), aestethic attraction (appreciating the way they look as you would admire a sunset), sensual attraction (more related to your senses, like cuddling and touching)...A great and simply way an awesome listener called Erynn showed me to visualized this attractions is through a drawing made by a tumblr user (here: http://secondlina.tumblr.com/post/21955456091/a-comic-about-the-different-types-of-attraction ).

yeah, thats what happen when we make friends. we want to be with them but not make out with them. but sometimes we emotionally attach our self with this person so much that we want to spend our lives with them, want them closer to us and get emotially attach to them.......not physically.....

Yep! some people don't experience sexual attraction and a label for that is Asexual. Now, Sexual attraction and Romantic attraction are two separate things (not many people realise this) There are endless combinations of this people can be asexual and homo-romantic, Bisexual and Aromantic (aromantic is not feeling romantic attraction), graysexual and heteromantic...the list goes on.

This is perfectly normal. Romantic and sexual orientations can be seperate. It is definitely possible for someone to be romantically attracted to a gender they are not sexually attracted to.

Yep, that's romantic love. It's lot like what you descibed, wanting a relationship but not necessarily for the sex or because of physical attraction. There's sexual and romantic love, and we can feel them exclusively for no gender, one, or multiple. We can also experience them separately, eg. Liking women but wanting to get into a guy's pants. There more online if you're curious. Good luck with any and all of your relationships.

there are different types of attraction, to list a few: sexual attraction, romantic attraction, aesthetic attraction and sensual attraction. Sexual is when you feel attracted to someone in a sexual way, and romantic when you feel attracted in a romantic way, and while these two types of attraction come together a lot of the time, some times they don't. Aesthetic attraction is when you're attracted to someone's looks but not necessarily in a sexual way, and sensual attraction has to do with the senses (wanting to touch, smell, see, etc a person)... so yes, you can

Yes, and these feelings may change as you develop relationships with individuals within that gender. You love a person, not their gender segregation, and this love will more than likely develop into a sexual love. It's like saying you don't like all chocolate because you're not keen on Turkish delight, you know?

Of course. This is called asexuality, but some asexual people are still interested in developing romantic relationships with other. Asexuality is completely normal and healthy variant of human sexuality. As any other sexual orientation, it cannot and does not need to be changed.

Definitely! Some people are attracted to people in a romantic way but not a sexual way and that's normal for them! It doesn't mean that you're strange or weird or anything like that!
