Single life

Today, I'm 22 year-old woman, and my entire family thinks something is wrong with me because I've never been in a relationship. I'm starting to believe them. FML

Hey man, I didn't have my first relationship til I was 24, and that man and I have been happily together 8 years now. Go at your own pace, you're only 22, and it's way better to wait for someone amazing than to settle for someone toxic out of desperation. FYL for having a family that makes you feel that way though.

My first relationship was at 22. Married at 25 and divorced and stalked for a year at 28. Screw "norms". Focus on having fun!

Was basically going to say same thing. Everyone finds love at their own pace

That's pretty rough at such a young age, **** that.😥

I was 25 when I had my first real relationship, and, yes, there is something wrong with me. So, in my book, you've got three years to get your shit together or you might end up like me.

fyl because you have a family that believes there's something wrong with you...agree with the other comments, find love at your own pace...nothing wrong with that

I had my first relationship at 26 and didn't have a physical relationship until I was 27 your families attitude towards relationships seems to come from the 19th century. As echoed by others here go at your own pace. Ps my brother has NEVER had a relationship outside of friendship he told me recently that he just doesn't feel the need to be with someone that way. It's the 21st century do what make you happy, try and ignore your family they love you but you know in their own special way. 😉

there is nothing wrong with you. take your time. when your ready you'll get out there. it your worried start with small things

my first relationship was at 21, I married her and we've been together for 9 years. my little brother is 26 and has never been in a relationship. I think there is someone for everybody, but waiting around is not going to make it happen. Try putting yourself out there a little bit

my husband and I didn't get together until he was almost 30, I was/am his first relationship, he's super shy and didn't really ask people out or anything, so I asked him out and he's the sweetest! I think he thought there was something wrong with him, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with him! I'm guessing there's nothing wrong with you either, and I'm sure someone will come along and appreciate you just as you are!
