Being romantically interested in someone you don't know is not at all the same as having a connection or chemistry. And neither are about emotions. I don't think you get that because you haven't had chemistry or felt connections.
I'm an only child, too. I'm very close with my parents (well, with my mother - I was close with my father, too, before he passed away), and I've always had lots of close friends. I've also had never had any problems with romantic relationships. Being an only child is not the issue.
Well, it sounds like maybe you were a more sociable and outgoing only child. I am not. And I certainly don't have your boobs which you've admitted haven't hurt you in the romance department.

Yes, it could be the connection that I have in mind is not the same kind that you have in mind. You've said before that finding someone attractive is not the same as being attracted to them, but it is the same thing to me.

Bwahahahah! Well, I went through some painfully shy phases - but overall, I'm very outgoing and sociable. I also do have big boobs.

Exactly. And relationships that are only based on lust probably aren't going to last.

Well it is impossible to have a connection with someone you don't know. That's for starters.
