Okay, I'm pushing 30, and the incessant question of 'why are you single?' is getting much more relentless.
The truth is, I belong to the rare group of people called aromantic. (link attached) Essentially, it means I'm a kind of person who does not, or has a very poor ability to, develop romantic feelings.
I can care for every living thing, but I'm just the kind of person that does not develop romantic feelings towards others.
I can be obsessed with things, but being obsessed is not quite the same as romantic I guess. I would like to learn about that particular thing to the extent of what interests me - I'm not interested in prodding further.
Then, I'm simply not keen to have another person in my life. I'm sometimes bored being alone but I don't feel insecure or incomplete.
I just never experienced that. I wanted to experience romance too, you know, since my youth is almost gone, but I simply lack the capability to do so.
And it's not entirely a bad thing. Unlike many people, I'm not complaining I want a girlfriend but can't get one. I'm not complaining.
There are many things in my life that I want to have but can't have, and I accept this as part of it and I've settled with it.
Just like, I want to be rich but it's simply not a realistic dream. It's the same attitude I hold towards a partner.
So, there, that's why I'm single.
