I'm 25F, and I had not been in a relationship ever in my life until I turned 24. I met a guy last year, and fell in love. He was my first boyfriend, my first kiss, my first everything. I'm not going to lie, there were certain things I was awkward and inexperienced about, but I'm glad that I had found someone that was patient with me at the time.
Recently, we broke up. It was my first intense breakup. I felt like everything in my life was falling apart. I felt so alone, like I would never find someone who would love me ever again. HOWEVER, being single for so long, it was MUCH MUCH easier to bounce back. I already knew who I was, and where I was going.
Having my first breakup just showed me some things I could improve on, but I had already built myself up as a person that I don't feel like I need someone in my life to be happy. I know the feeling of loneliness creeps up, I know sometimes you feel like you have a longing to be with someone. I know you feel like life would be better having someone by your side. But when a relationship falls apart, it makes it so much easier to pick up the pieces.
In the end, I'm so glad I didn't date until I was in my mid 20s. I have so much perspective, and I was able to make more mature decisions within my relationship and after the breakup. I felt so utterly alone after my breakup, but now I feel so at peace being by myself.
So it's absolutely okay, you're not strange for never being in a relationship whatever age you are. You will be in one, trust me. And when that time comes, you will know who you are and what you want in life.
