Hi Olic, I’m sort of in the same boat as you. While I haven’t experienced being in a relationship, I’ve observed and started noticing recently that I never had any interest in doing so ever in my life (I haven’t been attracted enough to anyone to do it). And I’m honestly planning to keep it that way because as some have said here, being in a relationship is overrated, especially considering how the “there is someone for everyone” advice gets tossed around.
I think you should consider the idea of any bitterness being left behind from the last relationship that you mentioned you were in and once you are clear that you don’t have any, try to analyse the situation in a more practical light – do you not feel any physical attraction to any woman i.e. is it possible that you are asexual? Or do you feel only physical attraction but no romantic attraction – something that is called being an “aromantic”?
I don’t think it is wrong in any way for a person to lead a life alone, as I said, I’m doing it and I’m planning on continuing to do so. As long as you are occupied and do not see the situation in a negative way, you should be good. It doesn’t really have to be set in stone though – if you ever come across someone who you like, you can always go ahead with what you feel like.
