I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but when I overhear people talking about their relationships with their boyfriend or girlfriend, or relationship issues in general, I get a little awkward or embarrassed. Like sitting in a classroom before the start time of the class, I kinda wanna get up and leave. I'm not sure why, maybe it's because I never was in one so I feel out of place. It's the worst when someone asks me about mine, I'm not sure what to say. I don't want to lie and make up something, but I'm also embarrassed as heck to say I was never in one. I just want to end the endless cycle.
Any thoughts?

It's normal to feel akward in those conversations. I find the more you know the person the less akward it is though. And don't be embarrassed because you were never in a relationship, i think its kinda sweet.

I feel the same way. Sometime back there was a group of us at work and they were taking about their significant other and all I could do is keep quite and hope they wouldn't involve me in the discussion. Thank God they didn't.

When I was single I felt the same way. I'd just say , Im single n lovin it. Eventhough I way lying. Now adays Im a similar situation because I don't have kids. I just say we are having too much fun or we are too young. All lies. If it not one thing it's another. People look for your weaknesses.

I completely understand how you feel. I am so tired of being the only person I know who has not been in a serious relationship. It embarasses me, and I don't know what to do to get into a relationship. I hope that one day you will find the person for you. I hope the same for myself. I understand, and I am here for you.

I know how you feel. I also get a little jealous too.
It makes me feel like there's something wrong with me. You're not alone!

Thanks for the replies.
It's good to know there are other people out there like me.
