Is it normal that i never want to marry or date, and prefer being single?

I'm a woman about to turn 30 and I have no interest in family or children. I've had one relationship that I grew bored of/annoyed with, and 4 or 5 "tries" that never made it past meeting for coffee. I do have a strong libido, but I just have no desire for a relationship of any kind at all. I am celibate by choice, I find touching strangers disgusting.

I can take care of myself, enjoy my free time and I am too selfish to make the normal "compromises" that are required in a relationship. I want to wake up when I like, watch what I like, go out with friends when I like, cook what and when I like and generally not be held down by nagging children or a demanding partner.

So am I on the normal scale, or just incredibly picky?

    Yea that can be a really good thing.
    Im 20 currently and never been interested in a relationship hence never had one. Also never dated and honestly cant see myself getting married. I do love kids though so im going to keep an open mind about that idea for much later in life.
    Oh and dont fret whether its normal or not, so long as ur doing what makes ya happy is all that matters :)

      Thanks! I was adopted so I might adopt like my mother did, but I would definitely hire a nanny for when I'm working. There is no way I could do it alone and I will probably still not want a partner then, either.

    That is really picky, but there's nothing wrong with that.

    Relationships aren't for everyone, even though society makes it seem like EVERYONE has to have a partner eventually.

    Do whatever makes you happy.

    I don't see how it can be defined as "picky".

    It's absolutely normal, by the way.

      I feel like it's normal too, but my friends and family keep saying I will regret "wasting my life" and all that.

      But I know I would just be miserable in a relationship and so would he! So I don't see why I should put me and someone else through that just to please society!

        I can promise you this: the question of how you should live your life is better answered by you, rather than your family or friends. They do not know better.

    It's better to be single and happy than married and miserable.
