I've been asked out before, and have liked guys before, but nothing has ever escalated to a serious relationship. Is there something wrong with the fact that I just cannot see myself in a relationship? Reply to this Question

No there’s nothing wrong with you. You’re young, maybe you don’t feel ready for a relationship or you just haven’t met anyone yet who has made you want to be in one. I’m reminded of a dating site’s television advertisement in the UK which states: “Being single is amazing. That’s why if you’re going to give it up, it’s got to be to an amazing person.” They then go on to advise you, of course, that they can help you find this amazing individual. But don’t think you’re alone in not being able to see yourself in a relationship, there are people a lot older than you who feel the same. Why have things never escalated with a guy? If you really do like some-one and they like you, if you want to give it a try don’t talk yourself out of it. Push yourself out of your comfort zone and go on a date, it’s not a huge commitment and the worst that can happen is you choose not to take things any further. But if you’re not ready and happy with this, leave it be. And don’t date some-one because you think you need to have some-one, do it because you like them and feel it’s right. Success isn’t determined by how many relationships you have, or how early you start having them.
I wish you all the very best.

At your age I was the exact same way. Occasionally messing around but not remotely interested in more. I had a serious relationship early on and felt like it was too time consuming and decided that I wanted to be free in high school.
