Maybe you're just not ready for it. Love is a crazy, painful, euphoric, strange, strange thing. When you experience it, it'll be scary and great and amazing. But that doesn't mean if you haven't, it's a bad thing. Not everyone is meant to fall in over right away, and that's okay. That means more time for you to focus on yourself, discover who you are :)

Everyone is different. There is a little something labeled as "Aromantic", where the person in question, does not experience romantic attraction towards others, but will still feel sexual attraction.

You might be aromantic? Maybe google that and try to cconnect with the community to see if you can relate to them. Or maybe you haven't met the right person and this is also fine. It's okay if you don't feel romantic love, you don't need it to be happy. Surround yourself with people you care about and do things that make you happy, that's what counts the most.

You are an aromatic person. Aromatic people means those who are unable to feel romantic love. I think people assume aromatics to be inherently inconsiderate of other people's feelings or selfishly motivated. They equate someone saying, "I want nothing from this relationship other than sex," or, "I just want someone to watch movies with but not kiss," as saying, "I am a people user. You're no good to me other than serving this purpose and this purpose only." It's not like that at all. Not wanting a relationship to the extent that a romantic does doesn't make me a bad person. Why is it considered selfish to only expect a little bit from relationships? Why is it not considered selfish to expect someone's attention, time, affection, and gifts at all times of the day? I am also aromatic.

Perhaps you haven't found the right person yet! No one has made you feel that special warmth in your life. Don't give up.

Some people have a difficult time feeling love, while others need a very strong relationship to feel it. Some people will feel more of an emotional attachment to a person that romantic love.

This could be down to multiple factors. Some people just aren't very romantic people, and don't get those connections often. Some people are naturally more romantic than others. Problems with apathy can also sometimes be a cause. Aromantic is a romantic orientation where you don't feel romantic love for people. It could also be a cause. Whatever the cause is, you're valid, and not feeling romantic love isn't as uncommon as you might think it is.

Being in Love is a beautiful feeling. We have a set of notions about romantic love, how when a girl sees a boy immediately there is spark and they are smitten by love. Well love is something which has to be mutual and it has to be nurtured. It may not start as love. Continuous interaction with a person and understanding can lead to love. Physical is one aspect of romantic love there is much more to it. It is behavior, personality traits that attract people to one another that may develop into a romantic relationship. You need to focus on who you are and be confident of yourself. Be good to yourself. Love yourself and you shall find what you are looking for.
