Is it normal to not have the urge to be in a relationship?

I've dated and have been in relationships but over the years the appeal of a relationship has faded (I'm only 25). The idea of being with another person seems like such a chore. I image myself with other people and all I see is drama, obligation, and the need to feigning interest. The annoyances of a relationship seem to outweigh the benefits. There are a few times I really wish there was someone I could rely on and be there for me, but those are few and far between. I imagine I would find someone when I get older out of boredom or status quo. I've already started to experience friends getting married, having children, and me being the odd man out.

Is It Normal?

  • Dude, join a growing club of men who are turning their backs on relationships. Modern living leaves no time for acting the fool in order to attract women. Relationships are time consuming and require constant work and attention. Who has time for that?

  • Not to sound like a complete asshole, but I am fucking attractive and I haven't been in a relationship since I was 16. I'm 18 now.

    Like @BladeRunner said, relationships are time consuming. Unless I feel like you are the one for me and I can bear to be with you for a long time, I don't have the time. People try to say I'm stupid or a punk for turning down this girl and that girl, but at the end of the day it's better int he long run.

    And as far as a casual fuck, I'd rather not - especially if the girl has feelings for me and I odn't have any for her: I believe in Karma, and if someone did that to my sister or a family member I would be pissed. So no, you're not alone.

    • I agree, but the start of your comment made you sound like your so far up your own ass. You probably aren't though, just saying.

  • I fail to see how being in love and having lots of sex is a chore.
