True Love?

I feel like I have become somewhat desensitized about the idea of romance and love. I am in no way saying that I don't want to someday fall in love and get married, because I do.  I am pretty sure that my parents think that the fact that I am single depresses me.  I don't know where they got this idea from.  To be honest, I am perfectly content with being 22 years old and having absolutely no love life. For the time being, I am content with focusing on school, my friends, my family, running, etc. 

Lately the idea of having a boyfriend doesn't even sound appealing to me.  Also, when I see couples, either in real life, on TV, or in a movie, I don't even envy their relationship or find myself wishing that I had one like theirs.  I am not sure why I am able to observe these couples in such an emotionless manner though. I used to see cute couples and think "awwww" and now I'm just sort of like "Eh." 

The other day I asked my mom about her good friend Eileen (Wow, how in the world do you spell that name?).  She is my mom's age but has never been married,  Instead, she is the favorite Aunt, who is always taking care of and doing things with her nieces and nephews.  I have met Eileen several times and she seems like such an awesome woman.  Hey, if it came down to that I could totally be the favorite aunt like she is.  

Like I said, I am not saying that I don't want to find the love of my life.  I am simply saying that NEEDING to find your soul mate and needing to find them in your 20's is overrated.  Everything happens for a reason.  Therefore, I am going to just going to continue to live my life and embrace whatever the future has in store for me.  

I wonder how doable it is to adopt a baby from Spain. 
Is doable a real word?
Because it is not marking it with a read line underneath.
