Not at all. You've just come out of a relationship, so it's not like you have always been on the shelf whilst life passes you by. Give yourself some time to get over your previous relationship. It's probably had a draining effect on you and the break-up has probably dented your self esteem too. I would hazard a guess that you are questioning many things, that is why you have been feeling as you are. There's nothing to worry about there, for in times like these you learn a lot about yourself.
I'm 28 and I am only just discovering what it is like to date girls and play the field. I don't feel too old at all. I am finding it exciting. Whilst some of my friends are bogged down in unhappy relationships with so-called 30something stress, I feel alive and liberated.
You have probably forgotten that somewhere deep inside you, there is a vibrant and attractive young lady. Trust me, as and when you get back 'on the radar,' there will be many blokes who would just LOVE to meet a single 24 year old girl. Particularly if you have a cool personality and you are interesting. In lad lingo, you will be 'quite a catch.'
When you start working on your self-esteem, your self-confidence will come flooding back, and you will want to sparkle, and show the world exactly WHO you are. You will want to get yourself back on the radar and start dating again.

been single for 24 years straight. I am a little worried since i have no experience in finding dates or relationships. But for your case you are feel worried about dating since you have been in a relationship for so long you are unsure how to get dates/ play the field. yes it is normal to feel that since you are more use to the relationship part instead on dating. Lack of experiece in things can do this to people expecially when they keep hearing the myth you cant teach a old dog new tricks. That in itself is a lie so dont listin to and good luck with dating.

I think this is a case of "bridget jones syndrome" come early! poor you!
let's put it thsi way...if it is too late for you darling then there's little hope for anybody else if people are generally considered on the shelf at 24
it's not like your biological clock is about to go kaput now is it?
I think how you feel is more ado with the emotional exhaustion of leaving this long term relationship- which I may add, did begin when you were very wee.
You should be using this time to do what you want to do, surely there are things that you want to do, places you want to see, experiences you wish you had that you have never explored? perhaps you want to travel, get a new job or study for example...there is so much you could do - seize the day and look at the opportunities available to you...or indeed seek them out.
i wish you every blessing in your grand adventure!

I know the feeling-
God made us singular-
I'm 33 with someone else but not sure if it is a relationship. Weve been feeling it out for almost 2 years. What I'm saying is let yourself have closeness with friends
We came as one human being .
Let us not be afraid to be one sometimes.

You have been stuck in a relationship for too long. It had made you forget that you are a sexy young woman. I felt the same after my last relationship. I went out a lot, not intending to meet anyone, and ended up meeting the man I would later marry. Try just getting back into the pub/club scene first and let the men come to you!!!

It's so normal.
Take some time out, its been six years. Think things thru. Find out what it is you want and what you need. Be true to yourself and DON'T RUSH!
You feel like this because you've forgotten how it's like to play the field, it's gonna take time but you'll bounce back.
GOOD LUCK
