Anyone else not had a girlfriend/boyfriend and not been on a date?

Divide By Zero

I've never had a girlfriend (or boyfriend) and, in fact, I've never been on a date. I don't think it's unusual or strange because I'm aromantic (and asexual). I'm curious to know if there are others out there who have never had a girlfriend/boyfriend and/or never been on a date.

Me. I rarely have crushes though, so I'm a Gray-biromantic Ace.

Meee !!! *raises hand*

I have never been on a date or kissed anyone. 

But i feel maybe i've missed out some crucial life experiences. 

I havent exactly been asked out either.A guyfriend once said we would have dated if we had met earlier...but i have no clue whether he was really interested or just kidding around. I feel guys are a bit scared of me and actively avoid me. 

Oh well,i'm an asexual romantic,so it really sucks for me !!! Good for u that ur aromantic.

I've been on a few dates, but it never worked out - proved by the fact that I've never been in a relationship and never kissed except for family members (now I don't kiss them anymore either, I have little need for physical contact - but as a child you often have little choice...). Not my preferred way of life - I'd like to have someone close, even though for example I don't think I could live together with a girlfriend, sometimes I just need to be alone... But then, it's a matter of priorities. If I could choose between being single and having a relationship according to my preferences - I could call it a "romantic friendship", perhaps - I'd gladly choose relationship. But if I had a choice between being single - even remaining single all my life - and having a relationship in which I would be expected to force myself to have sex, without hesitation I'd choose solitude. But perhaps it's not even a choice - I greatly doubt if I could ever "succeed" in forcing myself to have sex.

You don't ever want to go for it! Believe me bro. It's just such a weird thing...mostly nothing but a waste of time. <_<

 

You'd just agree to meet up at a certain time and place with someone you cherish, trying to get to know that person on a more intimate level through ramdon daily flirty conversation (while trying to find out more about specific faves or dislikes, including (subtle) sexual themes eventually).

 

So yeah...blahhhh.

Never had a partner, never been on a date, never kissed anyone, and I intend to keep it that way.

Which is not surprising seeing as I identify as aromantic.

Nope. It seems like something I'd have to out of my way to do, like it's not something within my natural progression. It seems unnecessary.

I am fast approaching the age or forty and I have never had a partner or been on a date, not even once. I might be open to such things if unplanned events just happen to steer my life in that direction, but I certainly wouldn't deliberately set out to get a partner or go on a date.

I've had both boyfriends and girlfriends but have never been on a date, and I really don't feel dates are necessary. But that's just my opinion.

Yep. Never been on a date or had a significant other in my 26 years and 5 months of being alive.

I've never dated, coupled, had a partner or anything along those lines. Even though I've had a few crushes, I've never really felt inclined to, nor do I really care to.

Yes. I've fantasized about being kissed or in a relationship, but I don't really know if it's for me: while others seem to be happy and enjoy having partners, I feel awkward whenever anyone shows any interest. The reality of it suddenly feels too complicated, and I'm no longer sure whether it's what I'd really want, anymore. That's why I thought I might be apromantic, rather than gray-romantic.

 

It's difficult to know, though. Seeing couples have children (even though I'm not interested in having any), I can't help but wonder whether I'm missing out on the joys of at least being in a relationship. Neighbors occasionally think I'm strange or that I'm lost because they see me do things by myself (i.e. they think I need someone to give me a ride, since I exercise alone; they've asked me whether I'm okay; where I live, etc.)

 

I guess they just think it's odd for a young person to be alone or they feel sorry for me, which I don't exactly understand, because I've seen other adults in my neighborhood exercise or walk alone like I do. Sure, it's not as common as seeing couples exercise together, but people doing things alone by themselves does exist. Plus, I can't help it if no one around me shows any interest in dating me.

Me too but I'm usually aware of it *smirks mischieviously*

 

Some people would just get it wrong all the way.

 

Note: being kind is not being flirty

Looking for some serious asexual romance there Deus? ;) 

 

Dates are seriously overrated though, especially the blind-kind.

Exactly. Heaven knows I had enough of those in the past. Count me out.

Based on stories I've heard from friends, usually there's an expectation to be physically intimate like holding hands, hugging, and kissing. * shudders at the thought * And there may even be sex. * shudders a lot more *

I've actually had one partner in person who I was with for 5 years, and 3 online partners none of which I have met in person (yet).. but I've never been on a date, and I can't imagine I ever will go on one. The idea of that ('dating') makes me shudder lol.

Me. The closest I've had is FWB, which.... is... not the same.

I think it must depend on the person and the rules and boundaries you both set around your FWB situation. I'm in a FWB thing right now, and it's literally no different (for me) than being in a relationship, haha. ^_^
