Friendship only as a precursor to romance - is it normal?

Alright, so here's the deal.

I don't make friends with people. I have absolutely no interest in friendship with anyone but girls who I view as potential romantic interests.

Ultimately, I treat friendship as nothing more than a precursor to romance. Obviously that means I am typically alone. And I never ever make friends with guys because I could never be romantically interested in them.

    I think this is normal. Not really healthy but normal. I'm this way too. I have a few close friends but when I'm in a relationship that person is my world. (I know it's unhealthy). And I became friends with my current boyfriend because I started liking him. I'm not proud of this, but I believe "Oh he/she's kinda cute I wanna get to know him/her" is a common way of thinking.

    Sounds like you have an upset in making friends, but sexually, professionals would refer to you as demisexual. look it up.

    I don't think it's exactly normal, but not uncommon either.

    Just remember that there is more to life than romantic interests. Sometimes non-romantic relationships can outlive romantic ones.
