Never had a girlfriend and have no interest in relationships at all?

So here's the story...I am eighteen years old and I have never had a girlfriend nor have I had sex. Of course, being only eighteen, it's really not that unusual. To be honest with ya though, I don't want one, nor do I ever. I have no desire for sex either. Ever since I was about twelve, I have always said I will never have a girlfriend or have sex. Honestly, I think relationships and sex are overrated wastes of time, and romance is a bunch of crap. I've considered the asexual thing for quite some time, but I'm not sure if that fits, because I AM attracted to women--I just don't want to be anything more than friends with them.

    You can be attracted to genders and still be asexual. There's an asexual spectrum that's quite varied. You should join an asexual forum. There are two possibilities that I can think of: 1. You're Heteroromantic or 2. You're a Grey-Asexual (Grey-Ace), which is what I am.

    I love how so many on here decide that things they have never tried or experienced are overrated wastes of time.
    That's like saying they don't like a food they have never tried.
    It's immature, foolish, closed minded and rather shallow.

      Do you need to bang your head against the wall to know that it is going to hurt?

        Big difference between that and deciding at 12 to bury your head in the sand for your entire life.

      I'm not the kind of person who makes decisions based on their experiences. I try to avoid the same mistakes that other people make, and from all of my observations, most of the time, romancers are bullshitters.

      I am the OP by the way.

        That's not a very good way to live YOUR life. You are living based on what others may or may not like, but they are not you.
        Oh well, your loss.

          Agree with both of Gypsysailors comments.
          Try it for yourself before you write it off. You decided at 12? For fucks sake...

          I'm not living my life based on what other people LIKE. That is not what I said. I said I try to AVOID the stupid mistakes that I observe other people doing.

            Why don't you live your life, ahem, in a fucking bubble? Then not even the microbes can get to you?
            You are going to be on your deathbed wondering how you could have spent your life as such a Milquetoast.

    You're probably asexual. I think around 1% of the population is.

    Romance is a load of bullshit to a certain extent, which comes way too soon. I also don't think you're asexual but I think you're young and if a friendship with a girl blossoms you might start thinking differently...

      Romance isnt bullshit.

        Which is why I said to a certain extent. When people romance sincerely, then it isn't but the so-called fairy tale romance which is used only to be discarded the next day is deceiving. The romance people use to get a one-night stand, that's bullshit.

          That's because that isn't romance, it's cheap talk said in a romantic fashion.

      I have been good, good friends with girls--pretty girls--some to the point where people thought I was going to hit it off with one of them. Heck, my family tried hard to get me with one. I just have no interest in that nonsense.

        Then whatever man stick to being just friends, I don't think you should worry too much about it. It's better than being a skirt-chaser when you have studies and jobs to do soon. Time will tell.

          Exactly! I have much more important things to worry about. I just decided to ask because I am not suppressing any desire, I simply do have the desire.

        OP. But if you're OP I have little respect for you if you really eat pets. : /

          I'm not OP, but you can still respect my Kim Jong-Un-yness and my pet eating skills.

    I'm like that.

    Mind you, it's hard for eels to mate with humans.

    I feel the same way (as a girl).
    Although because I'm a MAJOR pushover, I have gotten myself into a couple "relationships" (if you could call it that) because it's it's really hard for me to say no, but I had absolutely no interest in them at all. I'm in a really awkward situation right now. :/
