Never Been in a Relationship, Whats Wrong with Me

LegacyUser

24 year old female and the title is exactly what it says on the tin. I've never been in a relationship, never had sex etc etc. I don't know whats wrong with me. How have I managed to avoid this for so long? I have a poor body image, but so do a lot of people so its got to be more than that. No one has ever seemed interested bar two guys over my entire life, one was the definition of a f*uck boy who only was ever interested in a drunken hook up, and the other was basically the same but just a little more subtle about it :P I don't even know how people end up in relationships, I am not actively looking for one, and the only reason it bothers me is cause I am so old now for being in this situation. How do I get out of this odd situation I've found myself in, it just becomes a burdensome fact in the back of my mind, getting worse the older I get.

As a guy i didn't have sex till i was 27, with someone i was fully comfortable with due to issues in my childhood. I ended up in a relationship partially by accident and partially by effort.

There is nothing "wrong" with you, be with someone who values you for "you", then, if and when you are comfortable things will happen naturally. There are many people out there, none will ever be perfect, but there will be some perfect for you.

Talk to people, join clubs you have interest in, pick up a conversation with someone at random, have a bit of fun with someone. Do some or all of these things to express and put yourself out there, but mostly be confident in yourself and don't be afraid of things not working, finding things that don't work will help you find what does work for you.

And that's my philosophical good deed for today

You say only two guys have been interested in you. How many guys have you been interested in, and how did they respond when you made them are of that? Have you ever been rejected?

Nothing is wrong with you. It just sounds like you need to be more open about your intentions.

24 is very young. You'll meet someone special when you least expect it. Don't worry about the sexual aspect. Each to their own, some start at 15/16. A minority wait till marriage, even into their 30s. You don't hear much talk of it but I know a good few. Whatever is right for you as a person.

In this world there is no such thing as 'normal' You don't have to apologize or explain yourself to anyone.
