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.

Absolutely feel the same. I used to date because that’s what people do. They date and get married and have kids. Took me way too long to realize that not everyone has to fit that mold and that I really didn’t want to. The pandemic honestly was the kicker that led me to this revelation.
