You’ve gotten to know someone casually through mutual friends and they’re a really nice person. Score!

There’s only one big issue: Lack of romantic chemistry.

Could it be because maybe they’re just not that attracted to you? This is nothing to take personally. The deeply rooted reason could be that they are not emotionally available. And no matter how hard you try to get that attraction to happen, it simply won’t.

This could be the simple case of zero romantic chemistry.  Chemistry is something that is either there, or not.

There’s always the possibility that your friendship could excel to a romantic relationship, organically. Time will tell. In the meantime, keep dating.
