I am 23 years old and I have never had any serious relationship. I liked a guy when I was 14,5 years old, but it only lasted for 2,5 months. After him, I have NOT even been in love with anyone. Does that mean that I am aromantic? I WANT TO fall in love, but I never do. It doesn’t matter how attractive the man is, I just don’t get feelings and only see him as a friend and nothing more than that. I have felt really good as a single woman for several years and haven’t felt the need to be in a relationship. I have really enjoyed spending time with my friends and family instead.
My mom thinks that there’s something wrong about me just because I can’t get feelings for anyone and she says that the majority of the people in my age have been in love and in relationships or are right now. I feel so sad because she talks with me like that because it’s very personal when it comes to my private life and I CAN’T help that I DON’T get feelings for anyone, but I really want to experience being in love. But it never happens. My mom even made me using the app Tinder, even though I didn’t care so much about it myself. I didn’t take it seriously, I used it for fun. I didn’t dare to meet them, but once I dared and he didn’t lead up to my expectations and I didn’t feel ANYTHING AT ALL for him and only saw him as a friend, which made me cry in my room by night. I was so disappointed. I feel like I have given up finding love for several years now. I don’t even care about being in a relationship. I don’t think I believe in love cause I never fall in love. I am pretty sure I will NEVER fall in love.

Hi!
I am 23 years old and I have never had any serious relationship. I liked a guy when I was 14,5 years old, but it only lasted for 2,5 months. After him, I have NOT even been in love with anyone. Does that mean that I am aromantic? I WANT TO fall in love, but I never do. It doesn’t matter how attractive the man is, I just don’t get feelings and only see him as a friend and nothing more than that. I have felt really good as a single woman for several years and haven’t felt the need to be in a relationship. I have really enjoyed spending time with my friends and family instead.
My mom thinks that there’s something wrong about me just because I can’t get feelings for anyone and she says that the majority of the people in my age have been in love and in relationships or are right now.
