Hands up.

I'm in the same boat, OP (heck, I didn't even fool around as a teen). I like the idea of a relationship, but, well, the last time I had a "golden opportunity" I panicked and went to ground. I mean, er...well, I just sorta...retreated, really. On paper, it would've all seemed pretty perfect, but in the moment...nah, I really didn't want any fun-touches.

And TBH, I don't know if it's the guy or if it's just me. Or, well, to be more precise, I know that I didn't want That Particular guy, but I don't know if that's also because...me.

Whatever. I get a little doubt about that, from time to time, especially what with all my friends being in relationships/getting married. But for what it's worth, I'm still pretty sure it was the right decision. Because, well...it's about what you want, y'know?

This is my exact same situation. And I came here to same the same thing, although I wasn't planning to include my 'retreat' moments, because I haven't found a guy who made me really feel ~in the mood~.

I occasionally feel uncomfortable about it, but that's typically when other people my age are talking about their relationships. Starting to get married, have kids, etc. And I'm still relatively in the same position I was when I graduated high school.

I do think that most of the anxiety about it comes from the way I'm worried other people would think. It doesn't bother me when people aren't talking about relationships, so that's gotta be it, right? I just haven't felt ready to get into a serious relationship yet, and I'm not looking to sleep with someone until I feel safe and secure with them, so.

The truth is, the guy in my story didn't make me feel "in the mood" either. That's more or less why I retreated and started loads of self-doubt. Because he really should've. He's a lot of things that I find attractive in a guy, but in this case, no pantsfeels at all.

Personally, I do want to be in a relationship. I'd like to get married sometime and have someone I can take care of who'll take care of me. Life partners, y'know. I like that idea. But as you say, sex isn't a thing that I'm looking for until I feel safe and secure, and that takes time, and if there's one thing I don't have at the mo, it's free time. (If there's another thing that's lacking, it's single nerdy lads in the area.)
