Do you think that Lelouch loved someone romantically in the end?There have been hints with C.C., Shirley and Kallen.Personally i think that the staff was going with C.C. and Lelouch in the first season and in the second they took the route for Lelouch and Kallen.Shirley was in school and it was hard in the first place.
What is your opinion?

I don't think it's wrong to think Lelouch might be asexual, but I don't think it's the only explanation for him not being into dating.
I know guys who are attractive and/or reasonably popular with the opposite sex who didn't date and/or lose their virginity until they were relatively older (early-to-mid twenties), but who have expressed a seemingly typical level of interest in sex. Some simply had self esteem issues, or were holding out for the right person, or were really distracted by life/work/school/bills/problems. Some people reject dating as a practice, seeing it as childish or not worth their time, regardless of sex drive (I myself am not fond of dating but I'm not asexual). I can see that last one applying to Lelouch very easily; I imagine his sixteen-year-old self would rather be gambling over chess than meeting some girl for coffee.
Again, if the creators ever came out and said "yeah he's asexual" I probably wouldn't be shocked. It makes enough sense. But it's just not how I interpret his actions/words/thoughts as shown in the show and I don't think it's the only proper interpretation. (Also, I don't think you were saying that Lelouch=asexual is the only proper interpretation in your comment, although I have seen that sentiment expressed enough times by others to become a tad irritated with it.)
