Can someone be maybe older then 20 years old and never had a boyfriend? Is this normal?

Hi! I know it must be hard for you to be over 20 and never dated anyone. I was the same way. I started dating at 21, and was with him off and on for 9 years, then I dated someone else for 2 years. I'm here to tell you that it is okay to be date free in your adult years. You just take your time and date when you are ready. You will know when the time is right, and don't jump into bed with everyone you get with because you could bring children into the world and they not know the daddies. Take it from someone who has been there. It's not fun. Take your time.

Hey there :) I've got a good news for you : there is absolutely no age limit to have a first partner / to be in a relationship for the first time. And everything is normal an ok. There can be plenty of reasons why someone doesn't have a boyfriend/girlfriend/[anygender]friend at the age of 20 or later. 1) everyone isn't ready or interested in relationship at the same age. For some people it's really early, for other it can be later, or even never. It belongs to you and you only, and if you're not ready, or if you don't feel the need to be in a relationship (with a boy, or with anyone), it's totally ok and ""normal"". You're not on a race here. Your life, your choices, your rythm. 2) it's not always easy to find someone we're romantically or sexually interested in and if some people are lucky and fall in love / get attracted at a young age, it doesn't happen like that for everybody. 3) Lots of teenagers engage in relationship to "try" and to experiment, without necessary feeling love or attachment. So, it can be ok for some people to just "try" what it's like to be in a relationship without feeling love and all, and for others it doesn't work like that, so they would have to wait because they just don't find people they're really attracted to. 4) Attraction works both ways : so yeah it can be tricky to gather at the same time 2 people loving / being attracted to each other. 5) Teens and young adults can have a tendency to exagerate and even lie about their relationships, telling people they have been in relationships etc when in fact they haven't. So as a result, it can make you think that you're the only one without any experience, which is in fact asbolutely not true... :/ 6) Sometimes, people can have unrealistic expectations and it can makes it difficult for them to find someone they could be attracted to. Or we can feel bad about ourselves and it can shows on our behaviour and our way to relate with people. It can play in it, but it's not by itself an explanation of any kind. So well, even if the norm (meaning : the statistical majority, not at all "the way it should be for everyone) tends to give an age of 15-17 for first relationship (or first time having sex), it doesn't mean you HAVE to fit that norm to be "normal" and ok. Some people never get into relationships., some people don't before age 30 or 35.. The only thing is : if you're suffering from it, and if you need to talk about it, people here are there for you, to listen to you and help you find out how you can feel better. Feel free to contact me if needed :)

Of course this is normal! There is no right age to have a boyfriend. Perhaps it is the pressure of society, friends, or family that is telling you that at a certain age you have to have a boyfriend to have a full life. I will tell you that cannot be more false. In this life what matters is how you want to live your life. Take care of yourself first and do what you want to do whether that be going to college, working at a job, traveling, etc. When you are able to take care of yourself and be confident in who you are, someone will surely come along. There is no right or wrong time when this happens.

Yes, this is very normal. Every person is very different, and it is a choice for every person. Some people have found it very important to be in a relationship very young, maybe because of pressure from their friends, social media or other factors. The truth is, some people that are in relationships when they are younger have aren't actually in love, and might be looking for a relationship just so that they have had a boyfriend. This will most likely hurt them more than what they gain from it. Truth is, relationships come when you are ready for it and when you have found the right person. With some people that can happen when they are 16, and with some when they're 48. It doesn't matter if you've never been in a relationship; it comes when it comes, and the ones that aren't forced are usually the ones that last.

This is perfectly normal. Many people are in the same boat as you. There are also a lot of people who don't feel romantic attraction to others. This is called a romantic which you can look into if you think it describes your situation. Maybe you just have not found anyone worth dating and that's okay too. Sometimes it's better to wait for the perfect person rather than dating around and going through breakups. If you are looking to date someone but don't know how to go about doing that, it might be easier to start with online dating. I find that it's much easier to flirt with people online than in person.
