i (18F) have never been in a relationship. neither have i felt genuine romantic attraction to someone. i’ve had a lot of guys show interest in me over the last few years (some in which developed into talking stages), but whenever i try talking to them, i can never stay consistent with it? like i always stop texting them at some point. this is happening rn in a talking stage im in with this guy (18M). idk what’s wrong with me and it’s making me think im never gonna fall in love/be in a relationship. i hate the thought of me being aromantic bc i want a relationship one day but idek if i actually WANT to be in a relationship with someone. i don’t wanna die alone though—that would suck.
i’m frustrated because whenever i find out a guy is interested in me i feel reluctant to talk to him afterward, especially if im not genuinely interested in dating him (which 99% of the time is the case). i also think im not built for dating bc i cant imagine myself dating someone BECAUSE im so awkward and unserious (not in a humorous way) and stuff.
am i ever gonna feel romantic attraction to someone?? like i genuinely feel like an oddball especially compared to my friends who are all in relationships/have crushes. i’m hoping it’ll be different in college.

You’re just not interested?
lol this word “dating” has got a strong hold over you. i’m not even sure what you mean when you say it.
however, it seems its a symptom of a life behind a screen. it’s the new middle man, it’s the shadows on the wall. that means there’s a difference between reality and what you see.
but do you ever imagine trying new things and letting it speak for itself?
