I'm going to be 26 next Sunday and truth be told I am not really interested in a relationship or dating. I had 2 major relationships in my life so far and I've had enough for now. There's always unnecessary drama and bullshit that I simply do not have the time for. 

 

I'd much rather put my time and energy into my career and education ( once I get my motivation back) than deal with relationship mess. I haven't been on a date in months because I'm just not into that whole thing. I go out and socialize on the weekends pretty much every single weekend and I'm not looking for anything more than hooking up, not interested in friends with benefits relationship either.

 

I had this conversation with a couple of my friends and my co-workers. We're around the same age, between 24-28 and no one is really looking to settle down with someone. It's kinda weird because back home if I hadn't moved to USA I'm pretty sure I'd already be married with kids. Most of my childhood friends are already married with at least a child, some of them have 2 or 3 already. 

 

For me marriage is not even an option, I think that marriage is antiquated and for me personally I don't feel the need to have a legal document stating that I'm in love with someone and want to live out the rest of my days with.

I'm only 21 & grew up in the US, but I know quite a bit of people (mostly my fam) who have gotten married and have 1-2 kids at the age of 23 or younger. All of my older siblings are in either serious relationships or married, and I have a lot of siblings! And all of them are only 22-28!

 

I have no interest in settling down, but it's pretty much expected to get married and have kids in my parents' culture. It is not uncommon to have girls my age already married with a kid or two. I think it's a toxic cycle that needs to stop.

I've never been interested in them. Or it might be I've just never met anyone who'd pique my interest. It also seems like a huge hassle to be in a relationship based on ones I've witnessed. I do have celebrity crushes and sometimes wish there was someone I could do romantic things with but nobody irl pings me in that sense. I have slight autism and aspergers which might explain some of this.

I'm in my early 20's but I really have no interest in a relationship. I can't even imagine having one right now with everything happening in my life and all the things I'm trying to do to snag a job in my career field, I don't think I'd even have time for one. Plus, I never intend on getting married and all the relationships I've had thus far in my life have been quite bad, so I'm pretty turned off by them at this point.

It's tied to your economic status. The better off you are (at a national level even), the longer you will wait to marry and less children you will have. 

 

Check out this video, its very interesting. 

 

I'm broke af and want none of it. My sister is not as broke as me but also doesn't want kids or a husband. Neither does my brother. wife in his case. ohbi.png

 Don't discount the influence your local culture and society has on you. Your desires and what you think you want is heavily influenced by American Cultural norms. 

 

To use a bad example:

"Start a family? Why I haven't even been on a road trip like in that Ford ad yet, how could I start a family?"

 

Another example is, think about KDramas, how to they react when somebody in their early 20's marries? It's no longer accepted as normal, if it happens it's a plot device to get somebody out of trouble.

 

This shift happens as countries live longer and get richer on the whole. You are caught in the wave of societal change around you. 

 

But passing that, don't worry, you are normal, although you sound a little depressed about it.
