Is it normal that i "need" a girlfriend?

Is it normal that I'm 21 years old and never had a girlfriend? My mom is putting pressure on me lately slipping it in regular conversation and I really don't like it. I know when she suggests it she's thinking of the idea of me having a girlfriend my own age but she doesn't know I like older women.

If I bring an older woman home I know she'll freak out and I don't want to make her uncomfortable. I'm a little mature for my age but can be immature also so I do like girls younger than me also.

I guess I've never actively looked for a girlfriend for fear of being hurt so I guess I've put it off. My first experiences with girls have been being chased around kindergarten and high-school from girls who found me attractive, and I always ran away because I wasn't at that kissing girls stage yet.

Something that's worth mentioning i guess is that my first kiss was at 5 years old and I'm not a virgin, I just feel uncomfortable fulfilling my mom's need to see her son with someone, or the idea she's formed in her mind of the girl I should be with.

Right now I'd rather pay a hot stripper or something to fulfill my physical needs and that's it. I'm at a stage in life where I don't need to deal with pressures like going out with one girl, feeling like I have to call her at certain times etc... I don't think I'll give her my all as I'm working hard to become economically independent. Is this normal?

Aslo, I know that before marrying or having children, you have to know the person well or at least live with them for like 12 months and I personally want 3-4 healthy children so by the time she has her first, she'll be 23, then 24, 25, and 26, and when we're 30 our first will be 7 and if anyone of us happens to die young, at least we would have enjoyed our children.

I have all these thoughts running through my head time is passing by and I'm putting pressure on myself, plus I live in a country where I can't find girls who speak the same language or have the same culture as me and I know that's very important to me, so what do I do?

I know it doesn't have to be this complicated but these are realities I have to deal with sooner or later, should I move out and find my own space when I can afford it?

I would like to save up to move to the country where I know I'll find the girl of my dreams but I can't move out, and I have to save allot before I can embark on that journey. Is all of this normal?

    Every one moves at different paces. One of my best friends (male) decided to wait until after he finished college before he started dating seriously. He just knew that he had to focus all of his time and energy into the more important things and after everything was said and done it all paid off for him, he's graduated, found a well paying job, and is engaged to a woman he absolutely adores and he's only 24. You're young, romance and love are things that come naturally, it's not a timed process where you can rush it.

    Good luck to you. :)
