Now I already know this is normal, or at least logical, but I am curious what peoples comments on this topic are and why most people do not seem to do this.

About every 6 months on average I will meet a girl I really like. It seems when most single people meet someone they really like, they will start a relationship.
I never want to though. One reason is that at this point in my life, I do not want to be with the same person for the rest. At the same time, I see no reason to start a relationship that I do not expect to last forever. I don't even see what the point in doing that is. I am very curious why so many people do.

With the girls I meet that I really like, I keep them around as friends. I prefer a lasting friendship to a short relationship anyway. It seems the way I am doing it is smarter because I have so many female friends that I can hang out with regularly, and I don't even have to live with them.

I still wonder why people have these relationships. I find them so overrated but at the same time I wonder if I am missing something by basically friend-zoning every girl I like. It seems trying a relationship with someone I haven't already known for years would just be a waste of time.

One thing I do miss out on is sex, because for some odd reason our society has made most people think they should have a relationship to have sex. It's not too much of a loss for me anyway though because I take medications which have reduced my sex drive and I'm already really picky to begin with.

Why does so much of our society revolve around this intangible concept.

    Nothing is guranteed when you go into a relationship, even if you do expect it to last forever things can always go wrong, there is just so many factors in life. You just gotta hope for the best and do your best.

    I don't really want to be with someone either unless we end up being together forever. It seems a waste dedicating yourself to someone you'll my end up hating a couple of months later.
