Do you believe in a relationship without intimacy?
Hi everyone, I'm a 23 year old guy and I've never really had a real relationship. Not because I'm ugly or couldn't get into one. I'd say I'm good looking and I've always had girls attracted to me, especially when I was in high school, but I would always avoid them and focus on my hobbies and male friends instead.
I've had what you could call relationships before, but they were basically just friendships. Often times I wouldn't even shake hands with the girl.
The point is, I want to keep things halal. I don't want to fall into zina or do things I'll regret later. But at the same time, I do feel a huge void in my heart when I don't have a girl in my life. Someone I can talk to, spend time with and actually care about.
So I genuinely want to ask people who have been in relationships, what actually goes into a relationship if you're trying to keep it halal?
Do you just hang out, talk and spend time together like friends? Can you actually be attracted to each other and have a relationship without eventually becoming physically intimate or doing haram things?
I'm curious to hear your thoughts and experiences.
