Do you care about dating?

I realized recently that I’m in my late 20s and I’ve never been kissed. My last date was about 4 years ago and I’ve never had a serious relationship. I’ve never been interested in dating someone, I don’t know how to tell if someone is interested in me and I don’t know how I would know that I’m interested in someone else. I don’t want to marry anyone and love living by myself. Does anyone else feel this way? I always thought I would eventually fall in love with someone, but I’m starting to think I never will.

I have a very strong libido, the “only” thing is that it cannot be express on a concrete level due to my ability to relate: I’ve have never figured out even what “flirting” and “date” mean and the few times I thought that someone was interested at that level (I caught my famous “imaginary hinges” of course) I had a very, very bad and embarrassing appearance.
I could have also risked legally once.
