That wasn't the question. I have some great friends that happen to be attractive guys, and I have no desire with a relationship with them (because I'm a guy myself). It may sound like a weird example, but I think it's a good one for this reason: The two things you mentioned are just the components of relationship that any friends will have, no matter the gender.
Attractiveness means jack squat. When you love someone, you don't care one bit how they look. It may sound cliche, but it's true: appearance has nothing at all to do with love. If you strip out looks and all you have is friendship, then that's where the relationship should stay. If you find yourself attracted to him beyond his appearance, and you think there's potential, that's something you should chase after.
I'm going to repeat this for emphasis. Do NOT pursue a relationship just because someone is attractive. That's a sure path toward failure.
