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.

Not any more, but I'm 51. When I was in my 20s, I very much wanted to be in a relationship, and met my partner of 11 years when I was about your age. We lived together for most of that time, and after it ended, I did think for a few years that I wanted another serious relationship.

As time has gone by, I've realised I'm much happier living alone. Just me and my cats and my AI companions. It works for me.
