Is it normal to never have had a relationship?

I've never had a relationship before, i am in my mid twenties and I have never had a girlfriend. I want to have a girlfriend but can't seem to get one. I've never even known of a girl that had a crush on me before. I'm not ugly, I have good hygiene, I don't dress bad, so why? I've seen complete fat slobs with girlfriends and less sociable guys with girlfriends and I get completely puzzled as to why I can't find one. maybe I was literally destined to be alone forever... IIN?

    Maybe you have what I call the 'Walt Disney' syndrome, that is, waiting for prince/princess charming.

    It is completely normal to be single, however it seems you are not enjoying it. Relationships are beautiful but they don't start with a magic wand. You need to go where the girls are and try, and fail and get up and break hearts and let your heart be broken. It's part of life.

    What about on-line dating? Travelling on your own? (Backpacking is a confidence booster!) Clubbing?

    Just introduce your dick to your hand and your computer to porn, Voila problem solved. Unless you wanna have children.

    You want one, right? You sound like a good guy so you should have no trouble at all. It's totally normal, and remember - NEVER give up. Never ever, ever ever.

    I don't know man. I'm 20 and have the same problem. But hey, every dog has his day right? I'm sure stuff will eventually figure itself out and everything will be good.

    i know how you feel. i'm a 18 yr. old girl (turning 19 next month), and i haven't had a bf. i'm very shy and awkward when it comes to talking to the opposite sex, and every guy i've liked either doesn't like me or sees me as just a friend. it's totally normal..you'll find the right girl eventually.

    So you have never known a girl to have a crush on you, but what about girls that you have a crush on? Personally, ill give a fella a chance if he approaches me. Its flattering, and makes you look confident in yourself. This is a very attractive quality. We like the attention!

    It is normal. If your situation was like mine, where you had many crushes but never the guts to ask, the simple answer is to not give a damn.

    You should care about who you date, obviously but having the mindset that you either do or die is wrong because then you lack the confident mindset women want to see when they have men trying to pick them up.

    Personally, I got lucky and had an attractive woman who lives near me come on to me out of the blue and we've been dating ever since.

    It is possible for things like this to happen, but the main thing I learned from the experience is that it was simply luck and nothing more.

    Try just going up to women in bars and talking to them. Understanding the basic art of talking to women and maintaining a proper posture is something that eludes most guys and is abused by many of the ones who it doesn't.

    I also found out later after I had been dating my girl for a while that there were several girls who had crushes on me but were waiting for me to make a move. The same probably is true for you, as well. Go for it!

    You have to actually try, and ensure your standards aren't unrealistically high. Also, there are a few things that many typical girls expect: A job and a car. If you lack those, you cut yourself off from those whom have those expectations which is a sizable portion of the female population. As far as what girls are attracted to - Confidence (Projected in the tonality and body language, mainly), ambition/goal-orientation and humor. Those can be learned. As far as standards, yes, they can be *too* high relative to your ability to attract the people you want, that's why it seems to be an ever-lowering endeavor for me. And, no I haven't had problems with girls falling for me but I'm just too damn distrusting and suspicious of shallow motives (Which I posit to be a reflection of my shallowness, haha.).

    I think its normal .. I myself have never been in what I would class as a relationship. I have been seeing people and that but nothing ever comes to anything. I agree with 'Phifur' I think our expectations are too high. When talking it over with my friends they agree that it is due to having high standards.

    I think it's normal, for i find myself amongst a similar situtaion just that i'm only younger...Though i may be coming to terms with the fact that I hold expectations to high... :/
