Is it normal to not wish for a girlfriend?

No I'm NOT gay.
I just don't want to have a girlfriend. All I care about is my career, my parents and money. Lots and lots of money for my dad and my mom to live carefree. They both are bedridden.
At times, (I'm sorry if you feel offended) I feel that going out with girlfriends is a waste of time. I have tried it. And all that while, I kept on regretting- "I should have utilized this time and learnt new things."

Personally, I think I'm abnormal in some way. Any help will be much appreciated. Oh and I'm 23.

  • This is normal. Whats abnormal is people who despretly want to be in a relationship, especially at a young age. Also not wanting a relationship and asexuality are different things. You can want to be single and still want sex, and you can be asexual and have a relationship. I honestly dont get what the big deal is for so many people to need to be in a relationship. It shows needyness and codependancy issues.

    I can relate to this. Personally, I often wish I was asexual so I can focus more on school, more than I already do I mean. I've read a lot of stories on here where people just don't feel like being in a relationship and instead focus on their future. It's your life and I think it's great that you've figured out how you want to live it. Hope that you are a big success in the future.

    There is nothing abnormal about this. You are I are very similar in this sense. We all want different goals in life and your goals are not the same as others.

    I value friendships more than relationships. That's just the way I am. I am fiscally disciplined and so sometimes I find relationships frightening because somehow I feel like I am no longer I control of my spending.

    Personally, another reason for me is that I find the man-woman relationship extremely complicating and I know I will never get my head around it. My trying to get married is like a guy who sucks at football and hoping to win the FIFA World Cup one day. I just feel like I suck at relationships and therefore I could potentially be spending loads of time and effort working on something which may not work in the end while I could be spending the same amount of time advancing my career, travelling and pursuing new hobbies and interests.

    You're doing fine, there's nothing to feel abnormal about. If this is what you want, no one will ever criticise you for doing what you believe in. Good luck.

    You don't have to have one. And who knows, you might even find one who will love you so much as to help you with your parents and make money for them aswell. And what about sex? lol

    There are no rules as how to live your life. 'traditional' marriage is still a relatively new concept. So if you prefer short flings or no one at all, that's up to you. Lead your life how you want to.

    Sure. Different people have different priorities, and different things make different people happy at different points in their life :P

    If you are happy that way it's fine. Not everybody needs or wants to be in a relationship. I had a friend who in the 6-7 years I've known her changed her boyfriend every couple of months. Is this better, to go out with somebody for a few months, just so that you're not single. And you shouldn't feel abnormal. Everyone is different, and your life can seem abnormal to someone else, but in the end it's YOUR LIFE, so you should live it the way you want, and the way it makes you happy.

    Sounds like your letting your parent situation ruin your life. Girlfriend situation set completely aside. Are you happy? Or just doing what needs to be done?

    @bugsforbreakfast, you see that's where I get stuck. I neither want to have sex Nor I want a girlfriend. I didn't know that term. That's why I get so confused. And to add to the fact, I like girls. But I don't masturbate.
    I started to think I have a hormonal problem. But again, I don't know what's wrong.
