Crushes
I haven’t had a crush since I was in year 7/8, is this normal, I’m now at the end of year 13 and I’ve never once felt sexually attracted to a man even the one I dated and the one I dated wasn’t because of a crush , rather I liked him back in year 7 and he broke my heart and I have this thing where I’m quite prideful and I like to see how many of the boys I talk to will fall for me which is horrendous. Anyway I don’t see my self ever developing a crush but even the ones I spoke to and got close to and was really compatible with I just couldn’t develop a crush and I don’t know why this is

It's normal to not have crushes or feel attraction toward people 🙂 Sometimes you just want to be friends with people and not go further, and you shouldn't be worried about who you are attracted to/not attracted to. If you're looking for a label (and believe me I know how that feels) you could be demisexual or somewhere else on the ace spectrum. Of course, it's your choice whether you want to define yourself or not, but in my experience labels help to ground you and find other people who agree with you. Either way I'd recommend doing some research/self-reflection. Best of luck ^^

If it makes you feel any better the only time i've had a massive crush was when I was in yr8 to 9- 2nd year of uni now and still haven't properly felt that way since

i wouldn't go crazy with overanalysing completely normal behaviour or even seeking a label it. generally a crush is a sudden infatuation with someone from afar. you seem to describing feelings developed over time with compatible people and that is usually called love. its normal basically and if you are simply testing guys to see whether they make the grade, it could be that their is something specific you are looking for in a relationship which you have not found
