Is it normal to never have had an actual relationship at 25?

Sparing any personal details, I'm very eccentric and live a lot of my life in my head. Some could even say I'm agoraphobic, except the afraid of the outdoors bit.

I've felt undesired my entire life and it has left me with a quiet bitterness.

Is it normal for a young man such as myself at 25 to never have had an actual relationship?

    I'm 18 and I've never had a real relationship last year. I thought I found something real last year when I fell in love for the first time, but she rejected me. If I haven't found a relationship by your age, I'm just going to kill myself. Being single my whole life has been horrible and I get really lonely and depressed from time to time.

      That's kind of drastic friend don't you think? I mean I get that loneliness can be extremely annoying, but honestly, relationships aren't the single most important thing in the world. You'll find a girl someday man, we all will find someone to love someday. I don't know you, but I know you'll find love. In the meantime focus on improving your life. Start with your perspective on life, the world isn't such a bad place man. It's not always happy, but it most certainly isn't always sad. Find what makes you happy man, but please don't kill yourself over loneliness. Have hope man!

    You are a bit like me in a way, I don't like leaving my house and I only do so when I have no other choice ... It's not easy my friend, I know how you feel. However the internet is a nice place for people like you. You can meet interesting people while being safely in your own house.

    I'm quite shy and have real issues with talking to interesting people in real life. Which is why the Internet is such a perfect place!
    I've almost met all my dates/boyfriends/ONS through the internet. One of my friends turns 27 and has never been with anyone either so you aren't alone.

    You also shouldn't want a RELATIONSHIP. you should find SOMEONE that MAKES you want a relationship ... Don't take the first best thing on two legs :c

    Yes but start looking at reasons why you havent. Do you want relationship? If so then try and work towards that

    Maybe its not your time. Everything happens in perfect timing and maybe its just not ur time to find love. Ur still very young. Most ppl i know regret the years they spent dating and having wild sex/relationships. So just consider urself lucky. I consider myself lucky and I am 19 and I am a very beautiful young girl. I am waiting patiently for god to send me a soulmate. I have loads of gentlemen callers but I prefer to wait for the perfect one. Don't worry and don't go out and do something stupid. I thought something was wrong with me so I went out and got me a boyfriend and got taken advantage of so bad and it left me depressed for a year! It was because I wasn't ready and I was rushing it and now I am just waiting patiently for the right guy becuz I refuse to go through that pain again.

      Better to have loved and lost than to not love at all.

        That is one of those things that people say that is just not true.

          Why's that?

            Because it's a generalization. It does not work for everyone.

              A lot of things said are generalizations, but if it doesn't work for then alright. But I think that saying is pretty true personally. But I meant no offense when I was saying it towards you.

    You sound like me! Only, I am not 25.

    Plenty of people are in your shoes, myself included (although I'm younger). Honestly, the best advice I can give would be to put yourself out there. If you see a pretty girl talk to her; don't try to get in her pants, just see if you guys have stuff in common. If you guys have a lot in common then perhaps the relationship might grow into something more, otherwise, you've possibly just made a new friend.

    Not normal. Maybe try to have the agoraphobia cured?

    It is very normal. Lots of people are faithless chickens. Grow a spine, stop the self worship and constant masterbation. Avoid thinking ugly chicks are a choice - they. Will reject you. Try for a pitty offer from a 43 year old. It's a start. In ten years you will be alright.

      I think this is kind of harsh. Your heart was in the right place, but I think you made a lot of bad assumptions and insults. But, like I said, you're hearts in the right place.

      Side note: I'm no excerpt in advice giving, it's just that I feel for the OP and can relate to him so when you started giving him "constructive" criticism it just sort of hurt cause I felt like you were saying those things to me.

    • Lots of assumptions here. Guess it's my own fault for not providing more details. Thanks for the reply!
