Attractive/Attracted

[ThatScience]

I can say that someone (of either gender) is attractive. However, I have the hardest time becoming attractED to them.
It's weird. It's like I assess people's traits on a formulaic level but never quite connect them to an emotion.
I got to the end of this year and realized that I have had a total of 0 crushes.
It shouldn't be hard... I mean, not meeting the right person is fair enough but 18 (nearly) years and not even unreciprocated feelings for another human being. I want to be with SOMEONE but it appears that I'll never decide who that someone is.
It's not like I have rediculously high standards. Just someone nice and easy-going.
It just strikes me as odd that Ive been unable to think of people as anything other than friends.

First off, it seems that your not conforming to sterotypes. Straight guys are not supposed to be able to tell if a guy is hot. But they can, its complete BS when they say "well I just dont check out guys!" when you ask them if that guy is hot. Same goes for girls, girls know when another girl is hot, gays know when a girl is hot, lesbians know when a guy is hot, but they all say they lack this ablility (Except for girls and gays) to conform to their sexual orientation

You sound asexual, Do you experience sexual attraction at all? What about emotional attraction?

Your going to find better answers at Asexuality.org

Search asexuality IN HUMANS ( you may end up finding losts of sites on self replicating bacteria if you forget the humans part) it might tell you something useful coz id say ur description there definetely describes traits in asexuality

I experience sexual attraction in a sexual context. So I don't get sexually attracted to people if they are doing something non-sexual. Naturally, this tends to exclude everyone I encounter in my daily life.

I also experience emotional attraction but in a more amorphous, ambiguous sense. The concept of an intimate emotional relationship is one which appeals to me, however I never feel the desire to persue it with anyone.

I don't get attracted... That's not to say I can't but that I've found it quite difficult.

From everything you've said it seems that it's more likely that you just haven't found anyone that you can connect with on a base level. You like people and you can form relationships but don't know how/or find it difficult to form more serious relationships because of the lack of connection. Sound about right?

I've had a total of zero crushes in 16 years 8-/

I really hope so. It'd be a very lonely lonely existence if it werent.
