You make it sound like you've never done it

As for the OP, sounds like you're growing up to be a perfectly normal person. Your friend is probably just happy that you're not one of those types who keeps pestering girls long after they made it clear that they're not interested.

I was in a similar situation until recently. I've never actively sought a relationship and although it meant I spent more time alone than my friends, it also meant that when the right person came online, I knew it.

I don't see why you need to care. :huh:

I've been single for the past year. :shrug: Why should you care unless you're trying to get in a relationship?

I have never had a GF, and honestly I dont give a [censored]. Never even bothered trying to get one. If I ever do ya, if I dont, I will just keep going the way I am now, and not give a [censored].
Dont see how its odd if people dont care if they are in a relationshipor not. I think its odd if your the opposite and feel you NEED to be in a relationship, or have one. So I think most people i know IRL because apparently not giving a [censored] about a relationship instantly makes you gay. People are strange like that.

Never mind that.

You have to admit the candidness was just a bit, ummm... Creepy?

Since August 2010? That's not long at all... :facepalm:

To borrow a tired old adage: Patience is a virtue. If you are looking for something more from a relationship than casual flirtation, then good. Meaningful relationships don't come along every day.

I waited the first quarter century of my life for my first relationship, because I was willing to wait for something meaningful. And I don't regret it in the slightest. It may not be everyone's speed, but each person is warranted to make their own decisions with their lives, societal conventions be damned.

Haha yeah it did catch me by surprise.

What's the point of your post?

Anyways, tell me if I've got this wrong but basically what you mean is that you're still willing to be in a relationship, just not actively searching for one? I think most people are like that, it almost seems like when you stop looking you find someone special.

Everyone needs to be "loved" even if they say they care about it or not.
My guess, and no offense, is :
- you are either in a negation phase
- you never met that special someone, and when you do, and I hope you do, you′ll care. :yes:

I'm in a committed relationship with my two hands and my box of toys.

Polyamory FTW!

My mother keeps on pointing out how many of my old friends have had children. Personally I have so mucgh stuff to do that I don't think I could even cope with relationships on top of trying desperately to forge a career. I prefer people to just cooperate with what we have to do and them leave me alone. Much easier, much less baggage. It doesn't even bother me that I'm alone any more.

If OP's comment crossed the line, you've gone so far you can't even see the line anymore.

Also OP, I feel your pain. Being pressued into a relationship isn't much fun either (Is it, Undone?). :meh:

I've never actively searched out some one to be in a relationship with, I've never really had a major crush since I was 15. Infact, the few times where I've actually sought out a relationship with some one I really liked, and then actually got to be in one with them, I ended up feeling nothing but total indifference toward them once I was finally with them. So I kinda just stopped bothering and lived my life with the romance removed as a priority. Since that happened I've met the girl I plan to marry. Funny how that works really, some of my more erm... well supersticious friends, insist that it's because I'm an aquarius. I dont buy that for a second.

I haven't been with someone for over 7 years. (The last 3 years of that relationship was quite unhealthy.) I can't be bothered to play the silly game that is dating. Would I like to find someone? Sure, but I just don't want to weed through all the crap to find that person. If there is someone out there for me, they'll find me, or me them. I to am in a "don't really care" mentality. Though, I do have a bit of school boy crush on a girl that works at the grocery store I shop at. I know nothing will come of it short of some mild flirting. (She has a very flirtatious smile.......and no I am not reading to much into it. She smiles like that for everyone, I know I am not special.)

It gets less scary as time goes on. For me at least. I'm comfy with the thought I'll be alone for the rest of my life.

Girl I had a crush on just got engaged. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nwh3FmpZ7kg by travis comes to mind.

Jeez I rally don't have any luck with the ladies

I get this is totally foreign and odd to me. Even 'virtual girlfriend', 'e-six' or whatever is totally strange. I like to talk to people, touch, interact etc...

I have been brought up in the idea that having a girlfriend is something as normal and essential to life balance as good food, good wine and holidays.

I think what you should worry on is not your situation but the level of apathy you reached.
On the good side, the fact you speak about it means that it is unconsciently worrying you. So, I guess something will come.

I've had that before too, very annoying.

Welcome to the forum.

At this age I dont think it's bad.I've stopped trying to look for a relationship now and want to focus on working on my career, but after I've achieved that then what? I know that and starting a family is probably going to be something that I'm going to want. It's much better to say that it isn't because you don't care, but rather because the right person hasn't presented herself to you. You're trying to rationalize it by saying you don't care when that's far from the truth.

Love is so dumb; it only brings PAIN & SUFFERING & UMM PAIN!!! Ima go induce vomiting nao.. :mohawk:

Contrary to popular belief, a relationship is not the number one priority for many people, even if they think it is.

I'm single and I don't seem to care, largely because I am a king at one night stands.

teach me your ways o sentinel of green-ness

Similar story... up to a point lol.

I dated a girl... then another and then another... until I realized I was dating people just to say I was in a relationship. In 7th Grade. Then I smartened up and got over this freaky romance stuff. Then I found out, or more like admitted to myself I was gay. And, if your straight in high school, you'll pretty much fit into all of those stereotypical roles, of either a nerd who doesn't get any, a pot-head who gets too much, the jock who gets laid, or the jock who says he gets laid and so on and so forth.

but being gay is tough, because people stare at you if you show any intimacy with a BF. (Or GF). It is hard to be open about your feelings when those around you will mock or debase you for it. I mean, I like someone a lot, but if I asked him out and he said he wasn't gay, that could be embarrassing, and he might tell people I didn't want to know, that i am gay. Its just frustrating.

But on top of that, I have astrange haughty sense of superiority over others sometimes... and I get annoyed at petty relationships. Because, mostly, at how shallow they really are. People don't really love each other, they just want to look popular or whatever, or want six. Believe me when I say whirlwind relationships are nothing compared to the 5 second flings we suffer at my school. People have NO dignity.

Anyways my 2 cents.
