Does using yet in a sentence mean you expect something to happen or it may happen?

Like when you say something hasn't happened yet, does it mean we expect it to happen or think it may happen?

Like if someone says I haven't tried skiing yet, does it mean I am expected to try skiing?

Or if I say "I haven't fallen in love with a german girl yet" does it mean I am expecting to fall in love with a german girl or just saying it could happen?
