Is it normal not to dream about love at all?
Dear Guys/Gals
I've been wondering whether I'm normal - from what I see not really. My "problem" is that I don't really consider love to be of any importance in my life. I do not have dreams associated with love, I do not make plans factoring in falling in love, I do not have any hopes related to love. And therefore I can't really understand why most people (especially women) about to get married are so happy, like something good is about to happen to them. I don't judge them and wish them all the best, but I simply don't understand them - and I have to admit, women swaggering and boasting their wedding rings looks kinda silly to me. Very silly in fact. I also take offense to generalizations such as "everyone needs love" or "everyone dreams about love", even though I realize they're 99% correct.
I'm also single at heart and am not pursuing any kind of relationship - even though I have had and still have occasions to do that. I simply can't attach myself to a girl emotionally, and even if I could, I would still feel like a relationship isnt really worth the hassle. Sure, it can bestow some very nice moments, but I reckon I'd be sick of it all after a week of living with a girl and would start yearning for my "lonely time" yet again. I do like having sexy time with women, like most men do, and I'm also pretty disillusioned by the fact that most women seek a relationship - I've met really few girls who are inclined to copulate without wanting exclusiveness, which saddens me greatly.
Before you say something like "you talk like that because you've been hurt/disappointed", let me clarify that I haven't. Sure, had a few crushes, most of them unrequited, but I'm not one to get depressed over something like that. I know that happens, I know I can't do jack about that and I'm fine with that. That's definitely not the reason for my outlook - I still believe I could fall in love and have it reciprocated, I simply can't see myself deriving any real happiness from that fact like the vast majority of people do.
So even though I know I'm not really normal, am I wrong? Is my outlook twisted in some way? I'm pretty comfortable with it in fact, but most people can't understand this part of me and I sometimes feel an outsider because of that. And I simply don't want it to be a reason for me to loathe myself.
