What if I feel attracted to people ( any gender) but if I think about actually doing something with them or having a relationship I I don't really feel interested?

This is completely normal. There are layers to attraction, and it sounds like you’re just experiencing the more “surface-level” feelings that come with being physically attracted to someone without experiencing the deeper romantic urges. Finding someone attractive is one thing and wanting to be in a committed relationship with that person is another thing. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with not being interested in a relationship with someone you find attractive.

It's also possible that you could be on the aromantic or asexual spectrum. Some people who identify as aromantic or asexual experience attraction but aren't interested in romantic or sexual relationships. Just remember that you don't have to choose or use a label, and that romanticism and sexuality can be fluid and change over time.

Do Virgos and Capricorns have good compatibility?
Capricorn here. Recently found out the person that I like is a Virgo, and I can't say I've ever been with one before. It seems like there's some chemistry there when we've been hanging out, but I'm not really sure if we're good for the long-term. We feel pretty compatible emotionally and physically, but I'm nervous of course. Does any other Capricorn here have experience being with a Virgo and want to tell me if it was a good match?
