Guess I'll respond to something from four days ago.

Of course it doesn't. I said women because the OP is straight and because we are talking about a romantic context here. Not in general, which was fairly obvious.
Don't read into something that is not there. I am one of the fairest people you will find when it comes to discussing gender.
It depends on the personality. Like me, I'm a loner and honestly thought, I was happy alone until I experienced being married. I am happier with my husband. Except for his occasional grumpines that really annoys me no end. Like last night, he was just snappy at me.
And then I just texted him right now what he wants - me cooking him dinner or for me to leave.
Glad he doesn't want me to leave. So I guess we are fine again. The highs and lows of relationship can be a pain in the ass to deal with. Compared to high and lows of being by yourself.
The difference is with a relationship it is not only up to you to solve what's making you unhappy. So it's not in your sole control.
I can say if this marriage ended in divorce, I think I will go full time hermit. And be VERY happy with it.
It's because I am a loner. If you ask a social or people person you get exactly the opposite. It really depends on someone's personality.
He never had a relationship or had sex. The only women he dealt with in his lifetime were the ones in our family. I find this very offensive to be honest.
Yes, I agree with you as I had not read where you indicated anything of an intimate nature in your uncle's past experiences. Anyway, very sad for your uncle and yet how kind and thoughtful that he shared his heartfelt feelings with you.
Sincere condolences to you for the loss of your uncle and best wishes to you as you go forward with your life.

Yeah but my question would be, what is the purpose of "dating" someone for whom you have no romantic feelings? I understand that a majority seem to want to do it that way...but I guess I just don't see the point. I want a relationship to flow organically from a platonic friendship.
One thing that has occurred to me is that my negative experiences with having feelings for women seemed to result from them finding out my feelings through others. Yet, the reason I didn't inform those people directly is that I had no intention of pursuing a relationship at the time. Well, it's a long story.
like i said, you never know what will develop between people when they start dating. while i do believe in love at first sight, it doesnt always happen that way. sometimes long term relationships happen from going on a few dates, and realizing that you have someone special in your arms, and you want more.

I have loner tendencies as well. If this relationship I'm in ended, I'd be single for the rest of my life.
I had an uncle who recently passed away from cancer. He was 70. On his death bed, he told me had many regrets. One of the biggest regrets he had was that he never approached a woman in his life and never dated. He claimed he pretended to be happy being a bachelor. He told me it was a lie and that he was extremely unhappy. His last words to me were to treat women with respect. He passed away the next day. My uncle's words have made not just appreciate my girlfriend, but women as a whole. Can a person truly be happy single for the rest of their lives?
I never dated and happy. I do admit I'm curious as to what it's like to date.
