Ending the strike tags, because I've had enough of them: I agree with, oh, pretty much everything you say there - Lelouch's lack of relationship is down to him being too busy, too focused on other things and too untrusting. Note how, of all three of the major potential love interests, they all find out about certain of his secrets (Zero, the prince thing etcetera), but not because he comes out and tells them. They all find out these things against his will, because for whatever reason, Lelouch doesn't trust them enough to openly tell them. I think it's possible for him to have had a relationship with someone, but I also think he'd probably keep a lot from them. And yeah, he falls into the category of "asexual because of excessive focus on something else", which a number of fictional characters have.
Incidentally, the trust thing interests me with Lelouch; one of the reasons I love the whole Zero Requiem plot is because after almost two seasons of Lelouch not trusting anyone outside a very small circle, it involves Lelouch placing his trust entirely in others. In Suzaku and Nunnally as leaders, but in people as a whole to do the right thing. Yay character development!
