Is it normal to not want a boyfriend because you HAVE to see them??

I agree. I've done both, been flirting and clingy. In the end sometimes I just wish the relationship wasn't like I, "HAD to see her every day" or something like that. I'm not super touchy feely either so I can agree on that part.

I'd say it isn't normal, but hey, that doesn't mean it's wrong to feel that way.

I know how you feel. The obligation can feel heavy. When you are ready and you find some one you really like it won't feel like an obligation. For right now, focus on you and stay out of relationships because it's not fair to the other person. If you must date look for people who want flings. If you're afraid of liking some one you need to figure that out, is that you're just not ready, or did something happen in your past? If it's just trust issues, try being just friends with some one before moving into any kind of a relationship, that way you will know if you can trust them.

omg you are mini-me! I am exactly the same way as you are. In my mind a boyfriend ties you down and that exactly what you don't want to be; tied down. I don't want to have to see someone, I don't want to have to depend on someone for my sanity etc etc you explained it very well. and like you I'm also not very touchy feely but I love being close to someone. Life is rough like that because, thought they won't admit it, guys like to feel needed and for strong independent women who really don't need a guy this can be tough.

Those two categories of guys pretty much suck. Try looking outside of school for someone because you are not going to have any luck with a pool like that ;)

In my opinion it is not wrong to not want a boyfriend because you don't want to feel obligated to them or tied down by them. But eventually you're going to have to get over the whole thing and make some compromises for your relationships. friends with benefits would seem like a perfect fit for you but you already determined that wouldn't do it for you. So you are left with the compromise. Basically once you get into a relationship you get the choice to set some ground rules tell the dude straight up that he can't be calling you 24/7 tell him that you have a life and you want to live it and you want to be with him but you want things to remain as casual as possible. It's hard to sit down and say especially when a relationship is fresh but by doing this at least there won't be any gray area in your relationship and you can maintain your life as usual.you'll just see a little bit more of this one guy and you can say that you guys are together ;)
good luck chica
