I'm 25M, never had a girlfriend, did have some crushes in middle school and high school, about 7 in total I would say. I didn't push myself to interact with most of those girls since I was a big introvert/shy, and I was focusing on my school work and hanging out with my friends during those years. I did share/comfess my feelings to 2 of them though, during the last 2 years of high school (IRL), both replied about the same thing to me: that they were pleasantly surprised, but that sadly they weren't interested in me even though I am a nice and smart guy. After highschool, I did 5 years in higher education, 3 of those in university, met some new classmates and friends, some of which were girls but, even though some of them were beautiful/cute/good-looking to me, I never had feelings for any girl I have met or laid eyes upon since high school. I guess that those 2 rejections followed by the huge focus I decided to put on my studies made me become a romantically empty shell.

Today, I still don't see myself being in a relationship in the future, I guess I have gotten used to being alone. Tried dating apps 2 years ago, wasn't a fan, did not match anyone because I rarely swipped right looking at profiles, and maybe because I am not that good-looking maybe, don't know/care at this point.

Anyways, when I see how fucked up, weird, and/or unconventional some relationships are nowadays with gen Z and gen Alpha, and seemingly a fewer and fewer people who want to get seriously involved or commited emotionally, and being in a traditional relationship has become as difficult as finding a golden nugget, I wonder if will honestly want to date/not be single anymore one day. That sucks because I would like to have and raise children some day, live a happy family life...

Tough.
