Im 25 and I have never been in a relationship before. I'm thinking more and more these days about trying to have more meaningful relations with dudes. All my friends have been in and out of relationship since their late teens and it just never happened for me. It's not that I never wanted to be in a relationship, but with my social life going through highs and lows, I hardly ever meet dudes who are interested in more than dating and sex. Should I be worried about my love life @ age 25?

Of course you should not be worried. The fact that you have not had so many relationships means you have less 'baggage' and you may be more mature to handle it. Of course you may also be somewhat more nieve then the other you will have a relationship with. But dont worry about it too much.
Remeber that people start relationships all the time at all ages. Even people in their 80's and up are falling in love and getting into relationships all the time. 25 is young my friend, 25 is young indeed.

Don't worry! I thought a lot of that stuff when I was 25 too. (I'm a lesbian woman, by the way. i know the avatar is confusing.) I never dated in high school, or college. I didn't come out until moving to a city when I was 21. I had crushes, strange relationships with "friends", blind dates, etc. but never a Relationship. I also met a lot of girls at bars who only wanted to drink and hook up, and I wanted to meet someone at a library or something and have a wonderful life together.
Trust me, it will happen. I was 26 and finally met someone. I could have been 30 or 40 or 50, it doesn't really matter. There are times when my communication skills with her aren't the greatest, because I've never been in a relationship before, but it's ok. You may meet someone who has never been with another man before, and that makes the experience new for both of you. Or, you may meet someone who's very experienced and loves you as the unique person you are. A LOT of people find someone who hasn't been in many relationships very charming! it means you give it thought and consideration.
don't try to hard. focus on yourself for a while. love yourself, build up your self confidence. go out and do all the things that YOU love to do, with other people. then when you meet someone, it will be when you are really confortable and really shining at what you do best. sorry this is such a long answer... but I (and everyone else I'm sure) wish you the best.

You should not worry about your love life, especially at the young age of 25. Most people meet and fall in love when they are not looking or even trying. At your age, you are reaching the maturity level where true love will find you in a lasting relationship. The others may have had relationships when teenagers, but how many of them are still with that one they first fell in love with now? Probably none. Trying to seek out a relationship is like shopping at Wal-Mart. You never know what kind of deal you are getting into until it is too late to exchange it. Keep in mind that even though opposites attract, does not mean that you can not find a relationship with someone who is almost a carbon copy of yourself.

Nope, not at all. My partner and I didn't hook up until we were both 30. It's been ten years and still strong.
What's funny is I wasn't even looking for a realtionship when it just kind of happened. I was focused on my work as an artist and simply didn't care wheather or not I ever had another relationship. I was good having close friends and a couple of "bed-buddies" but a relationship was something I thought would actually take more energy away from my work than I wanted to expend.
But, when it does happen, you'll know.

No. My other half had never had an actual serious relationship before me and we met when he was 44.

Your chances are better now than they will be when you are over 40 AND STILL have no one.
