So, I (21 F) have never had boyfriend or anything close to a relationship. And to be honest some days it bothers me and some days it doesn't. Most of my life I just figured it would happen eventually. But is that a naive way to think? And most of the time I'm so busy with my own things I kind of forget about trying to date or anything. I understand that nothing has to happen by a certain age. And I'd say I'm pretty secure with myself. The only thing I'm majorly insecure about is my acne scars because I suffered from severe acne for 11 years. But besides that, I'm happy with who I am.
My mom says I'm still single because "I don't give anything chance." And I don't think that's really true. I've been on a few dates but just never really connected with anyone. I will say that I have not given online dating a real chance. I had Bumble for like two days. One guy I messaged asked me for nudes. And one guy acted super clingy right away. So, I deleted the account and everything. I don't know if I'll try it again. I guess I always thought I'd meet someone organically, so it's hard for me to even picture myself online dating.
I work on myself by going to therapy for anxiety. I got a job at my university for the next year that will definitely help me in my profession. And I'm going to start going to the gym.
I know I'm young. But I really would like to date and eventually meet someone. I do go out with my friends and go to different events when I can. However, I'm concerned that my lack of focus on dating and my passiveness about it will keep me from meeting someone. And I'm not sure what to do about it? Has anyone else had this problem?
