What if you just don't want to be in a relationship like your parents so much that you just avoid it all together?

But you still get butterflies for people. You go back and forth because the feeling of butterflies takes over a little bit but not enough for you to start a relationship. You just can't stop thinking about them.

You have almost answered your own question! Just because you would like to satisfy those butterfly cravings every once in a while, doesn't mean that you actually have to embark upon a relationship per se with anyone! Relationships carry way too much expectation to be of valid relevance today.
