Well, as you said yourself it is pretty rare for the main characters of a shounen manga to have a boyfriend/girlfriend. Aside from that, both Gon and Killua are very young, and have lived cut out of the world for most of their lives (Gon on Whale Island, where there is only another child his age, Killua secluded in his home where he was trained to avoid forming bonds with people and kill them). Upon passing the Hunter exam, they have always been roaming the world. Not going to school, neither of them has ever had a chance of befriending kids their age. Furthermore, both have unique, extremely peculiar personalities, so it is not weird that they are not interested in normal people. The main reason, though, is still linked to the type of manga.
