If you don't feel it, then don't date romantically. It would be unfair to force urself and it would also be unfair to the other person. There's other forms of love out there. reply
But do you actually need to be in romantic relationship or are you thinking that way because it's something that is "supposed to happen"?
Because most of us have always been taught to that YOU HAVE TO HAVE romantic relationship at some point of your life, one or multiple, but there HAVE TO BE one. That pressure is everywhere.
