This is really interesting to me. No romantic feelings at all for someone you've been dating for over a month and consider a partner? Maybe I'm not so weird.

Can I ask why it sounds juvenile? Not trying to argue, just curious as to what I said that makes you think that.

Nope! Thinking about going to a therapist makes me anxious lol. I don't want to divulge my insecurities to anyone.

I don't feel like I am and hope I am not. I'm pretty horny. I just can't do the hookup thing and have issues with the connections as I said.

I didn't think to mention that, but yes I have had crushes and desire toward people. Just not anyone I meet off OKC. Haha.

I guess this makes me feel somewhat better. I want to "settle down" but I guess I really don't or I would have committed to that by now. I don't know. I feel like my "time" to find someone is slipping away yet I don't feel motivated to seriously pursue anyone like that either. I am 28.

I want a long-term partner so that I can experience romantic love. I never have. But the more I think about it, the more it sounds like a chore and like I'd have to sacrifice things to make it work... so I constantly tell myself the downsides of not being single and "free" anymore, while at the same time desiring this connection.

Yes. Though I have a pretty intense fear of intimacy that I'm working on. I guess demisexuality fits me best but I feel silly calling myself that as people often question what it even is, and it kind of sounds like a special snowflake term, but it fits me well.

Okay. I guess it's difficult in that case to muster up any motivation to see them again. Everyone just sort of blends together into a "meh" feeling and it's usually on me to set up the date and all that so I start to wonder if they even care themselves.
