What does it mean to be in a relationship?

[Anonymous]

Hey everyone.. I'm just wondering but how does one know what it means to be in a relationship exactly? Like I want to be in one I really do but I don't know how to be romantic for one its just something I can't wrap my mind around and on top of that sexual attraction isn't something I can wrap my mind around either its like sex isn't on my mind at all and romantic stuff isn't on my mind either.

I just don't understand! Am I a broken human being who doesn't know how she can be romantic? Like seriously! Its annoying as everyone in this world expects us to be romantic or sexual when I feel like I am probably the only one who doesn't understand it!

Does this mean I'm asexual and aromantic?

Relationship can be as innocent as 2 good players enjoying chess in a chess club.

Or it can be business partners working together to earn money, with little to no sexual overtures.

And of course, romantic relationship has many flavors nowadays.

But if you don't need sex nor romance, then stay single as you are.

Keep to other forms of relationships that revolves around hobbies, business and charities.

Until you need sex and romance, don't think about them.

If you want to be in a relationship then you need to start asking women out:)

why do you want to be in one if sex and romance isn't on your mind?
