Is it normal to not feel attracted to anyone but not be aromantic or asexual

I never had that fluttery feeling in my stomach or my heart beating rapidly from seeing a person I can evaluate as being attractive. I see people and I know they are attractive and I find their qualities appealing for being in a relationship, but I don't feel attracted to them without thought. Idk if that makes sense really...

    Yes : )

    I'm exactly the same. Throughout life, I've been able to recognize attractive people, but never experienced the initial infatuation that others seemed to. I was never really taken with extreme "crushes" based on attraction, which made me feel a little abnormal as a teen.

    Eventually, I did experience the butterfly feels, though. For me, it's taken place after I get to know someone and become endeared to their personality. I'm not sure if you'll experience something similar.

    It's a little abnormal, but it's been totally convenient for me. I feel lucky to never have been taken with anyone who treats me like shit, and I do feel lucky about that- it happens to a lot of girls.

      Oh the relief! I thought I was all alone with this and that I'd never get to be in a successful romantic relationship. You have lifted a huge weight and worry off of me!!!!!!

      Huh that's interesting. I do the same even though I am a guy.

        I think it's a good thing : )

        You end up with better people that way.

    Yes, I feel the same way. However, when I do start to like somebody it hits very hard.
