Not interested?: Without more info, it's impossible to say. Are you concerned about your disinterest in romantic relationships? People's timetables for these things are very individual. You may be in a time of life where you're simply more interested in other things. Or you could be dealing with a loss of some kind, and avoiding further involvements. Many more possibilities too . .

RelationshipDisorder: One question to ask is "are you bothered by it"? If you say you are "not concerned", they you probably don't have a disorder. Usually the criteria for a disorder is that you are bothered by it or it causes significant difficulty in your functioning in life. There are a couple personality disorders where this condition may occur. You could talk with a psychologist to see if there is something.

Relationships: Not necessarily, issues in all our lives can make us back away from intimacy. If it is chronic however it probably needs to be addressed with the help of a mental health professional. Best.
