Yes very true.

Try not to worry about this. If you don't feel interested in romance, don't have romance in your life. I've taken a 3-year break from dating and sex, and it's been amazing. There's a lot of life that opens up to you when you're not distracted by romance all the time.

You're in a good position to have an amazing life. Be happy!

And if you ever do fall in love, that'll be great too. If not, you'll have an awesome life and you'll want for nothing.

Bingo!! I could not agree any more than I do with you, That_One_Girl. Great post and well said. Would've repped you, but I can't.

Thank you all for your answers, it's really helping me to understand my situation.

You were right about me not loving myself first, I don't have any self confidence. I hate myself because I'm really shy, clumsy, and I also hate my physical appearance.

I don't mind being single, I even enjoy it. But there is so much pressure around from family, friends, always asking why I don't date. When I say it's just not my thing they get upset because they think I don't trust them enough to introduce any secret boyfriend I could have.
I think I might just need to stop thinking about it, because forcing myself really is not the solution.
Thanks again for your time and advices !
