My thoughts are that you shouldn't be pressured to be in a relationship and honestly I think it's fine being single at the age of 23 or any age because you get to focus on your own goals and what's matters is focusing and working on yourself as a person.

the pressure to lose your virginity at a young age is insane. I’ve had “friends” endlessly tease me and make jokes about my “innocence” and lack of experience. It made me feel like there was something wrong with me and that I should have done all these things by 18. Now that I don’t have ppl like that around me anymore I’ve become comfortable with it. Everything happens for a reason, how it should and when it should and I will never settle :)

I met someone when I was 27. We have been together for a year now. It did drive me a little crazy before we met, I kept thinking if there was something about me that just wasn’t attractive. And the constant uneasiness that I’ll be alone for the rest of my life. But, I have realised that 27 years being alone was such a luxury that I’m so grateful for today. I spent a lot of time focusing on myself while I was single. I had time to build deep relationships with family and friends who are my biggest pillars of support even till today. I got used to being comfortable with spending time alone. I had time to understand my strengths and weaknesses, my triggers and what heals me. And all that 27 years of being alone, helped me to build a healthy and fulfilling relationship with my partner today. This time we have with ourselves is magical. The most important chapter of our lives is this time we have alone, because it will shape everything else. Be so rooted in yourself that nobody’s absence or presence can disturb your inner peace.

One thing that bothers me about the couple culture we live in, is often couples tend to ignore the other relationships in their lives. Friends and family get pushed aside for a stranger who often leaves you stressed and more alone then you felt before. While in college I decided to do the opposite and prioritize the non-romantic relationships in my life and found that I learned more about how to create lasting bonds with people more than my friends who dated around. Now at 24 I'm a year into my first relationship with someone who treats me with the same respect and love my friends and family do and I couldn't have gotten here if I didn't take the time to learn about myself while single.

I'm 22 now and I still have never had a serious relationship. I have been debating if I want to try dating apps but I'm mostly okay with being single right now. I just graduated college so I'm still trying to figure myself out. Also we're still in a pandemic so meeting people feels weird.

I was single for 24 years. I even thought I was a lesbian or going to be that rich aunt. I had suitors but no one felt like the right one. So I became single for more than two decades. I enjoyed my singleness. But it came to a point where I honestly felt stuck, as one of the things I wanted to have in life is a lifelong partner and a family of my own. I didn't want to ruin that by biting the very first cake I see. I had a great job, I was doing things I want, I had freedom, I traveled, but there came a point where it felt like there is something missing and I had all of this but it felt like I am going to nowhere and all these achievements is for nothing. But.... Suddenly and unexpectedly, my path intertwined with Jun (my fiancee now). I am so grateful I waited and didn't rush things, because I am so happy with our relationship.

It’s sad more people don’t realize how common this is and that there’s nothing wrong with you if you’ve never had a relationship well into your 20s. Society tries to rush people wayyy too much and most people are NOT emotionally mature enough to handle a relationship in their teens. Forget sex, the fact teens are pressured to have sex is a mess on its own. All these loud people making others feel bad for never being in a relationship have A LOT of baggage from all their failed relationships that they rushed into just to have someone and be “normal”.

@@dawnarxtic When I started dating my partner I considered him kind of a "starter boyfriend". We had been friends for months. I liked and trusted him, and he was pretty flirtatious with me. I figured that the best way to get rid of my anxiety around dating was to try it out with a really nice person. I assumed we'd go on a couple dates, realize we were better off as friends, and that would be the end of it. But our feelings for eachother grew and our lives totally meshed. I don't want to set false expectations that you'll click with someone that quickly, or that you'll definitely find someone you want spend your life with. But I think there's no reason to worry about commitment before you've started dating. And as you your question about if I've wondered what it would be like if I were with someone else: yeah, totally! I wonder who I'd be if I had made a ton of different choices. What would my life be like if I had asked Doug out instead of James? What if I had gone to college across the country? What if I had run for student council, or taken up an athletic hobby? What if I had been bolder or braver? In any of those cases I'd be a different me living a different life. But I'm not concerned that the choice I've made is a mistake. I'm happy with the life I've have. ...

I don't have much confidence in being in a relationship and I've become anti social. The older I get, the more people think it's weird for me to be single.

This is so true! I'm 23 and last year I was in a relationship with a guy. Since I'd never had a boyfriend before I was so terrified of losing him that I tried hard to please him and be the "perfect" girlfriend... After eight months he broke up with me, showing no respect for my feelings for him (because I did love him, but I'm not sure he loved me back... Maybe I was just a toy) and for me in general as a person: he stopped texting me and on our ninth month together, after weeks of me asking what was going on, he just said that we were friends and that he kept ignoring me hoping that I would have understood our relationship was over. It's been a year now, but I still feel like he threw me away like a broken toy... Maybe he didn't care about me the same way I cared about him, maybe I was just something he wanted to get rid of as soon as possible. Never thought a heartbreak would be this painful. The fact that I am the only person I know who's still single at the age of 23, while all my friends and relatives are already talking about getting married and living together with their partners, makes me really upset sometimes. I know now that there's nothing wrong with me, and that the right time and the right person will come for me too, but still I really hate it when people make assumptions about me and started questioning my sexuality just because I don't have a boyfriend

Not having a relationship doesn't make a loser (nor am I saying that having a boyfriend would reduce your chances to acomplish anything you want), it just gives you more time to pay attention to other important aspects of your life.

Yesss, another member of the club! ✌🏻I’m 26 and have never been in a serious relationship. I just haven’t came across the right person yet. There’s no use in pushing myself to be with someone that I’m not wholly attracted to just for the sake of being partnered.

This makes me feel happy, I'm 19 and only dated someone when I was 15 and it just lasted for a week and never had my first kiss and everything. I'm in college and all my friends are experiencing their first but not me, I feel that I'm unattractive because no one wants a serious relationship with me. But because of this vid I feel heard and included because of this. Thank you

I never had a boyfriend until I turned 23. I remember stressing about it a lot when I was younger. Now I think that it was silly, there is time in life for everything and even if one stays single forever, it can still be a great and fullfilling life. Just don't stress and enjoy the freedom (and free time) that you have 🌼

I've been being asked multiple times if I'm asexual when people find out I've never been in a relationship, which made me question myself if I'm actually am and if I should found someone to find that out or something. For now, I consider myself as someone that is not actively looking for a relationship and feel comfortable alone. 😌

I’m 27, my first & current boyfriend and I met 2 1/2 years ago. I love him, but I do miss my single days as well because relationships are STRESSFUL. People will make you feel like there’s something wrong with you for not dating/having sex when you’re in your 20s, but my advice is to ignore the haters and enjoy your peace lol

Everyone has a different story but my experience has been completely different. I was at an extremely low point in my life when I met my boyfriend. I didn't even like him that much when he asked me out but I just said yes because he was the only decent guy who asked me out, and I just didn't want to be alone anymore. But with time I got to know him, saw the parts of him that makes him the most beautiful human being. It took years, we have been together 5 years now and even now I find out new things about him that makes me fall in love with him even more, much more than I thought I was capable of. I was completely broken, I didn't love myself at all. He carefully picked me back up and literally glued me back together. I could lean on him for support. He definitely helped my self worth.It might not have been fair to him I understand that but he did it of his own free will. I gave him the option to leave me many times but he stayed. It just stayed and it made a world of difference. I guess not everyone can be as lucky as I have been.

Omg I was literally starting to be anxious about these topics and your video was suggested to me on YT. Thank you for making this video and talking about it. As a 27 yr old woman who hasn't even gone on a date. I have literally been okay with it and if I don't date anytime soon I am actually comfortable with that thought but the Societal pressure of having a set liner life timeline was really getting to me today. Reading other people's comments made me feel so much better. I totally agree. I finally wanna do things for myself and lead a life I am happy at and Marriage is far away from it. It's SOOOOO NICE KNOWING I AM NOT ALONE. Just reading the comments lifted my anxiety. I never comment on videos but how could I not share my emotions. I want to say thank you to all the women who shared their story. Appreciate it.

Same. I turned 23 at the beginning of the month and never had a boyfriend too. I would love to be in a relationship, but honestly? Just never had the feeling of "I want to date him". Don't get me wrong, I had some crushes, but somehow I didn't want to commit. Probably partly because I was to shy to even try and partly because I had the crushes in the past 5 years and didn't want to consider someoneelse in my life plans. I moved quite far away for university and with the beginning of next year I'll move again. (And I would have no interest in a long-distance-relationship). I think I have this internal fear that a relationship would hold me back in some aspects. Maybe that's not true. But yeah, my feelings just told me "he's not the one/this is not what you want". Oh, and the last thing I want, is to be in a relationship "just because".

I’m 26 and never had a boyfriend. I think most of my friends felt quite insecure growing up because they were always either persuing someone or trying to make someone jealous with their looks. Whereas I had no one to impress but my DAMN SELF so I was always comfortable with the way I was. “If you don't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?” Love ya RuPaul!

As a 32 yr old woman and virgin, I just discovered 4 years ago that I belong to the category of "aroace". I'm actually the type of person where my head rules my heart and I'm obsessed with privacy. I'm also not emotionally needy and not craving for any attention. That's why I cannot date at all. Dating is not really for me. My advice to 20s and under 20s women out there, if you're not really craving for male attention, you just want to date because everyone else is dating, and lastly you're craving for validation, then DON'T DATE. don't gamble yourself. I know many colleagues before who have a long dating history, but they ended up being damaged. I understand there's no perfect relationship. If you feel like you will survive the life of being a "girlfriend" then go ahead and date.

I needed this video so much! not everyone talks about it mostly because its normal to be in a relationship at very young age. All the media shows it too. Everyone finding love at a very young age and having a lot of boyfriends and having lots of sex. This does put a lot of pressure on young girls to jump into relationships they are not ready for and get seriously hurt. I have never been in a relationship before so the anxiety and self doubt that comes with the "no experience" thing have affected me a lot. This video and the comment section definitely helped me feel better!! 😊❤️❤️

I'm 18 years old, never had a boyfriend, never been on a date, never had sex, never kissed someone. Although a few guys have asked me out, but I never accepted because I honestly have never been attracted to the guy, (fictional guys?? yasss, the list does not end) and also I didn't want to invest my time on a relationship that I never saw developing into something real. I'm not saying that I am too good looking but I feel like guys only ask me out because of how I look, not because of how I am, you know what I mean? I want somebody who likes me because of my personality and not just because of my looks. I see everyone around me dating, going out, meeting new people and it makes me feel like I'm missing out on something. Everyone I know has had atleast one boyfriend and in every conversation the question of boyfriend comes up. Sometimes it makes me wonder whether something is wrong me or its something else? Are my standards too high? Maybe I'm expecting something that doesn't happen in real life??

Omg sameeee. I turned 18 in November and it really hit me that all the guys I’ve liked have been fictional characters in movies, shows, and books. Honestly the whole reason I watch anime is so I can find a guy I like and then look for fan fiction on him. And now it’s been stuck in my head. What if I never like someone irl? And Ik for a fact I have an avoidant type personality so I tell myself some times it’s good that I’m not dating anyone and wasting their time knowing I’m not gonna be able to open up to them emotionally or even physically yet. And to this day I just can’t get over how my coworker asked why I wasn’t spending time with my boyfriend on my bday

Socially awkward 31 year old here-- today I'm going to call a guy who took me out on a first date last Friday and tell him that I we're not compatible. Why am I doing this after only one date? Because he was pretty much pushing commitment the entire evening (he's also almost a decade older than myself) I was going to talk to him now, on my lunch break, but I have to say thanks for this video, I'm feeling much more confident about this conversation later today.

The main reason why I'm single, no kisses no, hand holding (...) at 23 Is due to insecurities. I don't think I'm pretty enough for anyone, if anyone shows interest or compliments me, I always disregard that and deny. Because, how could anyone actually mean that? They're saying it out of pity or haven't looked at me long enough. I hope one day I'll allow myself to be loved. Because up to this point, it feels like it's for everybody else but me.

I said it once I’ll say it again; you alone, and your existence itself is enough!!

Broooo if I'm even gonna entertain the idea of a relationship I want it to be one that I do not have to force. You got to add value to my life and inspire me. And match the type of energy that I give myself. I also want you to be your own person and not need me for your validation, or your attention or your happiness. I want to enter a relationship from a place of abundance not from a place of lack or need. Sure being single can be lonely sometimes but you know what's worse being in a wrong relationship that does not add value to your life.
