I have been single all my life (I'm in my early 20s). I don't know if I have any desire to be in a relationship with anyone at this time.

It may be selfish, but there are so many things I want to do with my limited time and I feel like a relationship will just hold me back from doing what I want to do.

I guess it is a fear of being tied down to something and impose on my current, practically unlimited, freedom.

I mean, do you enjoy pair programming? Would you enjoy "pair programming with benefits"?

That's a very nice to put it !
It's all about tradeoffs. Sometime soon you should plan really far then take those requirements back to hit whatever soft deadlines (although there are few or no hard deadlines, so don't sweat it).
