It's called love. Emotions can drive a person to do any number of things for the most illogical reasons, but that's life and that's the way humans work.
Nope. Descartes showed that humans are ridden fundamentally by reason. Desires? Just reasoning that, since better is to be sought for, and having the desired is better, we should seek for the desired. Conforming? Since effortlessness is to be sought for, and that conforming is effortless, we should conform.
Excerpt of an article on such relations:
"Love has always been a concept much elevated in society. Most would find it hard to define, and something near an intense emotional affection for someone. The facts that it is not easily definable or that it is purely emotional shouldn't fail to prove that it is completely and obviously unreasonable. They often say that "Love is blind" or that it is easy to fall in love with a totally unsuitable person. That none but proves this point even further. Love means to some others to care deeply about and enjoy being with another, which is fine to a degree. It also is most of the time only one sided, and the lover is far more likely to see awkward responses or, even, scoffs, than the love response he waited for, after expressing his love to another. Such acts not only greatly frustrate the lover, but the loved too. An emotional affection to another means that you would do anything to be with him, to please him. This is an obviously stupid type of behavior. Why would you be willing to give up everything, just so you can be with someone who, most of the time, is completely apathetic about you? It is a completely illogical act, and people acknowledge that themselves when in love. [...] Love is not blind, love is stupid."
What a terrible article.
"An emotional affection to another means that you would do anything to be with him, to please him."
That's nonsense.
I've loved before, but if I didn't want to do something, I just didn't and it was fine.
Not all articles are right.
This one, isn't.
It's merely written by a person much like yourself, failing in the circles of love thus rejecting it. Searching for "facts" to justify the rejection, however, the person (like yourself) doesn't really think this. They just settle with these little facts and thus have found a reason to give up on something that they couldn't succeed in.
Is it normal that I find relationships and dating meaningless?

Bobkins is right. It's called love.
You just don't understand this because you lack emotions due to some weird ass childhood trauma.
