Is it too late to find a girlfriend at 30?
I wouldn’t worry too much if you haven’t had a (serious) girlfriend by the age of 30. Most young men aren’t ready for a relationship between the age of 20 and 30. Those are the years you have to ‘grow up’, find out who you are and what kind of career is right for you. In short, what kind of man you want to be.
Is it weird that Ive never dated anyone?
Absolutely. It’s perfectly normal. Some people don’t get asked out at all, until they’re about 35.
