Interesting and thought provoking question Magickman!
This question really brings up several variables:
1. long term dating without sex, but with sex possible in the future (example-religious reasons)
2. long term dating/relationship with other physically intimate ways of relating that don't include intercourse ( example-a person with physical limitations or ED)
3. long term dating or a relationship without sex or physical intimacy ever possible in the future (example-dating a paraplegic)
Dating is a time period where people become acquainted, learn more about each other, what they like, dislike, how they treat others, what is important to them, what sort of attributes each has, usually in an attempt to decide if they want to continue to develop a closer relationship with that person. An ongoing relationship of this type, without sex, would allow for two people to develop a close intimate relationship without any sexual pressure involved or sexual intimacy being what binds the two together. Intimacy is about more than sex itself; it is the development of trust, the sharing of thoughts, feelings,closeness, togetherness, two people meshing together. Intimacy involves focusing in on another.
There is no mention here as to how long a realtionship this would be. People do have sexless relationships like these for various reasons; some because of their religious beliefs, some due to physical limitations. I know I could easily participate in an ongoing relationship like this for quite a length of time. Would I be willing to do so indefinately?
Scenerio number 1, if I really liked, or loved, cared for, and cherished the man; yes, I could and would.
Scenerio number 2, if I really liked, loved, cared for, and cherished the man; yes, I could and I would as there would be other forms of physical intimacy involved.
Scenerio number 3, if I really liked, loved, cared for, and cherished the man; yes, I would be willing to participate in such a relationship, and I would. As to could I, yes, I could, although it would be a harder relationship to maintain since we were starting from a dating relationship and not one in which we had been together already for a long time so there would be no memories of having been physically touched at all by the other person and I am a creature who likes being touched.
Releasing the ego can be a difficult thing to do.

how can one be in a relationship if there is no touching.....no feeling the person...no hot breath on your body...no whispers and laughs.no looks and smiles and tenderness.......these all make up the sexiness that passes between two....

I don't think that this is a black and white question, but rather a gray one. That means this question deserves a definite maybe.

Painter - I don't think the OP is excluding these things. THESE are the truly magical things in a relationship, and I would agree with you, something I would NEVER want to live without. I think the OP was simply alluding to a relationship that was not going to be consummated with the sexual act until some undetermined point in the future.
But all that OTHER good, great, and wonderful stuff????? Ahhhhh....that's the stuff dreams are made of! (And rereading your post - I need to go take a cold shower. Be back in a minute!)

Sexless dating is the most beautiful expression of a relationship between a man and a woman. PURE communication uncorrupted and uninterupted by the distractions and distortions which sex introduces into the mix. Just looking into the eyes of the woman you love can give you more sexual fulfillment than 100 trips to a Balinese whorehouse filled with dozens of hot sweaty babes already prelubed.. fully frontal and shaking their hips like a bunch of bellydancers hopped up on methamphetamine!!!

You know this from experience, I suppose? Perhaps with (and without) your wife?

Well, you can still kiss and get physical, and it would be considered a date even though you're not having sex.
