This isn’t really an AIBU, rather has anyone else experienced similar.
I have a male friend. We met through work about ten years ago and are really good mates. We no longer work together but meet regularly, and he’s part of a wider friendship group, so we meet in a group too. He’s just turned 40.
He’s a good looking, successful guy. He’s got a really dry sense of humour, is laid back, fun and sociable without being loud and obnoxious. Lots of hobbies and interests, and has great chat. I’ll be honest, when we first met I had a small crush on him.
In all the ten years I’ve known him, he’s been single. Not only that, he’s never (as far as I know) dated anyone (before or after we met), had a one night stand, pulled, or shown any interest romantically or sexually in anyone, male or female. He’s never even said he fancies a celebrity, or anything even in passing. It’s like he’s totally oblivious to it.
We had drinks recently and during a conversation about another friend online dating, I ask him if it was something he ever did. He just said no, and if he meets someone, he meets someone, and shrugged. He didn’t expand on it but also didn’t look embarrassed or look awkward, and the conversation carried on about something else.
I want to be clear, I’m not criticising him or saying it’s weird, everyone is different. Just intrigued about whether anyone knows anyone similar?
