This is how I feel. It very much feels like like a societal expectation and that’s what puts me off it. I always wonder if I’m on the aromantic/asexual spectrum since it’s hard for me to tell if I really want date or if it’s just bc it’s expected. But I’m not against dating, not really, but it sounds so confusing and overwhelming and I hate touch (like I don’t let my parents even hug me) so I’m not sure if it would work for me.

I didn’t have my first date until I was 19 almost 20. There’s no time limit. Don’t limit yourself. I think it’s good to be happy and find comfort where you are and if you find someone, great! If not, you’re still an awesome person. Your worth isn’t defined by another person. (But I get it. I wish you luck.)
