There’s nothing wrong with me

Tagged nsfw because I mention hookups.

I just came to the realization like two days ago that I am demiromantic. I’ve sort of always known what it was without thinking too deeply about it, but I just thought it wasn’t me.

I’m 30 and I’ve only had two long term relationships, I’ve dated two people for a couple weeks and broke up really quickly once I realized that I didn’t have feelings for them, and have only gone on a handful of dates outside of that, and all of those I forced myself to go on.

I’ve always thought that I was just super picky. I thought that maybe everyone else feels like dating at the beginning feels like a chore and you don’t actually have feelings for the other person. I knew that I would either develop feelings as I got to know them or not.

Stopped going on dates fr all together because I know I’m not interested in someone unless I know them really well. I don’t have crushes on people, i dont meet someone and am interested in them instantly. But I also have no problem with casual hook ups. They’re fun and have no emotional connection for me. So I thought that there must be something wrong with me. I am again, too picky, something from my childhood must have messed me up, I don’t know.

Then a tv show I like, lots of people theorize that my second favorite character is demi, romantic and sexual. So I looked into it more to see if it fit him. And what do you know?

I’m demiromantic and there’s nothing wrong with me.
