I'm 23 and have never dated, kissed, etc. and there was only one guy I thought I might have liked (I still have his number but we've lost touch).  Lately I seem to be obsessed with romance.  I want to know how normal people kiss and how it feels to make out and like reading things like this on the internet and it's been taking a lot of my time.  I've been told it's normal, but now I feel like I have a problem.  Do I just want to know about this stuff or am I unknowingly trying to get some sort of stimulation?

Fool. Probably just curious. I don't know what you mean by stimulation. You can try masturbating and see if that helps a little.

I think that's normal. Sometimes I feel the same way--I think everyone probably goes through that phase where they just really wanna be in love. Good luck!

Only you can truly answer whether you are genuinely curious. But I'll help you find that answer.

 

 

I personally am curious about romance. I never dated or kissed, and this sounds corny, but I sometimes end up adding romanticism to such thoughts. It used to be something I thought about all the time. Eventually I wondered if I was doing this just for stimulation. Just to "feel" alive. But then I realzied, and at Xemnas, masturbating doesn't really solve anything because it's simply pleasure. Pleasure fades. I would wonder if the feeling of romance lasted. To be "happy". Sometimes I think I just think about this stuff simply to consume my spare time. Other times, I think I just want a special person that I can hold on to.

 

 

This doesn't solve your question, and I don't know the answer myself, but it's just a thought I had for a while that I figured could relate.

Well, when you see it plastered all over the place and shoved in your face constantly, of course you'd be curious about what all the hubbub is about.

 

Don't feel like you're on some time limit.  Anyone who says something like you should have a boy/girlfriend or spouse by age [number], won't give you a logical answer for why that should be.  I think things like this is something you should take on your own time, on your own pace.  If you're legitimately curious about things like this, by all means, start pursuing.  But don't go into it feeling like it's some kind of requirement.

I think you're just curious. If you ask me, romance is an honor no one should dream of. Yeah it's great if it happens. but being in love also kind of sucks. I'm not sure why people cling to it so much. Like Dracozombie said, it's not an expected requirement. Love is more like a gift, not a right or rule. That's just my opinion.

Maybe you crave some romance in your life, but if you're not sure if you are craving it, then it's mostly unlikely.

I know this feeling all too well...

 

Curiosity can be a very funny thing. But from the questions you posted, the others here have a point whether or not you're interested more for the stimulation or genuine curiosity. If you're wondering what it feels like to kiss, what it must be like to be lost in someone else's touch, where for that one moment it is just you and that special someone and nothing else, what it must be like to be in bliss if not just for that one moment, to experience what words on a computer screen fail to describe, then yeah, it's curiosity...

 

Otherwise, you could be seeking stimulation
