Is it normal to not have romantic feelings for anyone as an adult

I have had these feelings before, but haven't had them for a few years now. I also find it hard to define both when and if I feel sexually attracted to someone (that too was much easier before), but I do have a sex drive physically. I dont think its the people around me who are necessarily unattractive or unsuitable partner (it would be weird if everyone was), I wonder if I actually lost the ability to feel these things. But at the same time I like the idea of being in a relationship someday, but realize that wouldn't really work if I cannot feel the right thing for them as a person (of course they need to like and feel attracted to me too)

    Would it be that weird? I don’t think you should be beating yourself up because you don’t happen to find anyone in your current work place and social circle attractive. Especially given how socialisation has been severely limited over the last 18 months I don’t find your situation particularly surprising and suspect a lot of people are in the same boat.

    It’s ok to not fancy anyone right now, you’re not obligated to and it certainly doesn’t mean you will never meet anyone you’re interested in ever again.
