writes:Are there people out there, or do you know of any, that don't want relationships? I know of people who don't want children, but even they want a relationship. But are there someone who don't even seek companionship beyond friendship? I'm not thinking about those with a mental disturbance that makes them not even seek friendship, or the asexuals who aren't interested in sex at all. I'm talking normal, regular people with a healthy sex drive, who enjoys friends and regular things... Are there any of those who think that a relationship isn't worth it? Do they get their needs met in other ways (intimacy, sexual needs, companionship through friends instead and so on)?I guess I mean to say, take the stereotype player who doesn't want to committ. Is it because they haven't found someone yet, or do they really want to go their entire lives without committment and a partner? I'm trying to understand this.

 Yes, I knew someone like this. She flirted with men, even got sexual with them, but when they wanted more, she declined. Somehow she did not want a relationship.
I think it's like relationship_master below said. She viewed relationships as getting in the way of her independence, so she collected enough friends and admirers and non-exclusive lovers to fill up her social life, so that she could still maintain her independence. I don't know how she didn't dry up emotionally, but it worked for her.
