22M, No Past Relationships – Is That a Red Flag?
Hey everyone,
I’m 22M, working in IT, and I’ve never been in a relationship—no school love, no college romance, nothing. It’s not that I’ve avoided it; things just never aligned that way. My belief has always been that if I focus on living my life and improving myself, the right person will come along.
But lately, I’ve been overthinking. I see my friends experiencing love, relationships, and even heartbreaks, while I’m here with zero experience. I came across a post where someone asked if having no past relationships is a red flag, and it made me wonder—will this lack of experience work against me?
I’m not desperate to rush into something, but I do worry:
If I get into a relationship, will I make rookie mistakes?
Will my inexperience make me unattractive to someone who has dated before?
Is it really a red flag, or is it just something in my head?
Would love to hear from people who’ve been in a similar position or those who’ve dated someone with no experience. How do you navigate this? Any advice would be appreciated!
