am I normal? Anonymous 257854
I always thought I was not one for romance, I thought it was my punk phase that I would grow out of which I thought I did at some point because I started developing crushes on guys but the crush would fade as soon as I interacted with him more.
I can't imagine a guy that I like or that is my type and I can't imagine myself in a relationship, I thought I could be a lesbian/bi but I didn't have much interest in girls either and I do enjoy attention from guys but I don't like them to be there for too long and I tried to get give guys a chance because I might develop feelings later on but no use.
I feel like I can never love a man, I would get into a relationship if I do find a guy whom I can tolerate enough and who is also beneficial for me but otherwise, I cannot imagine myself with a guy and doing lovey-dovey stuff, just not me.
for reference, I am a virgin in my mid-20s, been on a few dates but that's the extent of my experience with guys and at my current mental state I don't even find the idea of going on dates tolerable.
does anyone else feel this way?

>>257855not the virginity thing, not wanting to be in a relationship with guys thing. A few of the guys that I tried to give a chance are trying to express interest and messaging me but they make me feel physically sick.

i've had a relationship before but i kind of convinced myself to be in it and never really loved him. i'm not a virgin but honestly i'd rather be because i feel like i have no worth anymore
ur normal, and it's probably easier to live a life outside of romance than to share one with a partner anyways

>>257854I'm the opposite - I get super attached to people and then extremely demanding and controlling and then they dump me for being abusive. I think your end of the spectrum is probably easier to deal with and more socially appropriate. I think if I was a moid I'd probably have a restraining order against me.

>>257854>does anyone else feel this way?Yes, only I don't care about the attention about dating at all. I have other kinds of relationships that keep me content, and guys saying "but you'll die alone" always seemed like projection to try to scare sex from me since… even if you're married you'll still die alone, that's how it works. And I'm happy unattached? Seemed like an other people problem. It's not the norm but that doesn't mean it's bad, OP. It's a pretty relaxed club to be in once you let go of outside expectations that you know don't fit you.

>>257961Doesn't seem like it. It says it's high but it seems okay to me.
Something else then.

>>257854You could be asexual. It sounds like forcing yourself into a relationship won't make you feel any better, and rather than worrying about being normal or expecting that you should have long-lasting crushes it would probably be more rewarding to start enjoying a life without partner troubles or seek out a platonic partner. You can keep an open mind to see what comes your way, but it's wasted effort to try to 'fix' yourself.

You literally just described my entire romantic life to a T. Im pretty sure we’re not normal though lol but also it could just be aromanticism or asexuality

>>257905nta but probably why I never felt romantic attraction to anyone my entire life. An official diagnosis would be good though. It's supposedly incurable and doesn't affect your life anyways.

>>257854You and I are pretty similar. Though I can imagine a guy I'd be attracted to they are nonexistent so I don't care.
