Don't want a relationship right now?

Post Reply New Topic

Is there any other people that aren't interested in being in a relationship. People who are single and fine with it? I am single right now and would be shocked in there were any boys that like in a romantic way. I have no problem with other people choosing to be in a relationship but it doesn't interest me at the moment.

Now, in the future, I may want to be in a relationship and maybe get married but I haven't made any choices on that yet.

Is there anyone else like me? I sometimes feel like the only teenager who doesn't want to be in a relationship?

I am the same. I don't want a relationship right now, I think it would be too much for me. I don't know why. I'm 24 years old and I never had a relationship, although there have been a few people I fell in love with... I am very happy with the love I get from my family and from my friends, so I don't have a special need from love from a partner. Sex - that's something I can live without for now. I hope I will eventually get married and have children, but I need to find a partner much like me, someone who has special interests of his own, so I don't feel guilty I engage in mine while he wants to spend time with me... I need a loving, yet independent partner. That's so hard to find...

I felt like that for a little while and then I met my husband while I didn't want one. He just happened to be a perfect match for me so I decided to get in one again just to try it.

It's not that I wouldn't want to but that I'm completely use to being alone. To me getting a master's degree will probably be an easier task.

Intellectually, I wouldn't want to be in one. It would take up too much energy, and either the relationship would screw up university, or university would screw up the relationship. On an emotional level, though, I badly want to be in one. It's been ten years since last time (and that was short lasting). I'm starting to wonder if it will ever happen again.

I'm not a teenager anymore but I don't really want to be in a relationship right now. My last relationship really changed me and I was really hurt by it. I'm still not ready to start a relationship, plus I want to get my life back in order first.

I am really not looking to get into one right now. I have been single since the end of last summer after a long and ultimately draining relationship. I am very much enjoying the time I can spend alone, which is something I need and did not get much of for several years. I am returning to school very soon as well and intend to make that my focus

I have no interest in a relationship right now. My life is so busy that I would never have time to maintain a relationship. Trying to maintain straight As, while trying to pass 5 AP tests and being involved in sports is extremely stressful. There are also no guys that I have any interest in right now and I would rather enjoy the time I spend with friends anyway.

You're definitely not the only one.

I have no interest in a relationship right now either, and I don't expect that will change anytime soon. I have plenty of life stuff to sort out still and I still am enjoying doing my own thing after my last relationship plus I'm going back to college soon in another state. I really want to focus on college without those kind of distractions, it's going to be hard enough living somewhere completely new.

I never got into any relationships when I was a teenager. I had a few crushes, but I didn't have a pressing urge to ask any of them out.

If you want to keep your options open though, you may want to experiment now and get your experience while you can.
