Is it wrong to feel entitled to intimacy? A girl I dated for 1.5 years (after knowing her for several more years) still felt uncomfortable with any physical touch. She was the one that asked me out on a date. At the end, she told me that she wasn’t ready for a romantic relationship and wanted me to stop waiting for her to be ready. A girl I dated for 2 months told me that she needed to put her dog down. She had the dog for 17 years. I tried to get her to allow me to do something nice for her (buy her a cookie, flowers, give her a hug) and she basically said no. She also didn’t let me meet her dog. If I am unable to show or receive love and intimacy in a romantic relationship, it doesn’t feel like there is a romantic relationship.

There is a huge difference between wanting physical intimacy and feeling entitled to it. Entitlement is "you owe me this". Nobody owes anyone anything. I hope you find someone that is open to receive the love you have to offer.
