Should I keep dating when there is no spark?

Is it genuinely possible to fall in love with someone that you have no "spark" with? I am a divorced female, 56, considered very attractive for my age, intelligent, warm, funny, and been told I'm quite a "Catch". I have recently started dating a widower, 64, who is short and very heavy set but oh so sweet and thoughtful and crazy about me. I have never considered myself overly hung up with looks---in fact, quite the opposite, however I am not physically or sexually attracted to him but am giving it more time since I have jumped ship prematurely in some past relationships and want to make sure before I do the same with this man. The last thing I want to do is hurt him but yet I can't force feelings that aren't there. We also live 75 miles round trip from each other and he is retired and I will be working for many years to come. I'm not sure how much longer I should give it? We've been out about 6 or 7 times over the past 6 weeks. What would you do in my situation?
