is it possible dark matter is a type of matter that can interact with matter and antimatter without having annihilation?

kind of like the neutral force of the universe.

i know its kind of a weird question but what do you all think?
 

Discussion

At the present time physicists do not know of any interactions (except elastic scattering) between dark matter and ordinary matter (or antimatter).
