Can there come a point in life where you're too old to fall in love for the first time? If a person misses out on a childhood sweetheart, doesn't get the teenage thing of sleeping around or the first tentative steps into a real relationship thing in thier early twenties, can that person become too burnt out, jaded and underconfident by lonliness and rejection to ever have anyone in a healthy, balanced relationship?

Nonsense. How you experience love depends mostly on who you are.
Teens are known for torrid affairs probably because they themselves are energetic, and emotionally charged. But I also know sixty-years-olds like that.
Middle agers have more cautious and reasonable relationships because they themselves are more cautious and reasonable. But they are not the only ones like that, either.
And so on and so forth. If you want a certain kind of romance, you have to BE the kind of person who has them! If you want healthy and confident relationships, do your best to be healthy and confident. You'll probably attract other healthy and confident people at that point!
Good luck!

Yeah I might be in the same ball park as you. I did have a serious girlfriend in my early twenties but since then it has been hardly anything. I am not the kind of guy that "needs" to get laid so finds a warm place to stick it without so much as caring about who it is. I generally find women to be way, way too sexually liberal nowadays (I mean giving a BJ is like no big thing to them anymore, you got to be kidding me!) So I am 29 and all the women my age are either married, divorced or have kids, or all of the above, which I want no part of, and I feel like a perv if I date a much younger girl. So I guess I just need to hope it comes around, but I am not depressed by it, it is what it is, so to speak. But just because of all this does not mean I cant find a healthy relationship, or you either, just dont look so hard and you will find it...its always the last place you think...

Its only too late when u die. I didnt have a high school sweetheart and I do regret that cuz I was too shy to ask out the girl I liked then. Im 23 now, just came out of a 4 year relationship and I, too be hones, feel emotionally tired but its not the end of the road for a love life (I hope!!). There is hope for everyone as long as they have fun and enjoy themselves!

you're not to late.. you in head of your time! just a step to quick maybe you skip for a reason because you don't need the first love etc.. ever thought seeing it that way? first love is overrated anyway if you ask me..just a learning process just an example how you don't want it to be so than you go to the next and the next its all an experience every jar got a lid? its the journey that takes you that's worth all not the end the destination... its the journey what makes the world move and gives you exatcy..

I don't think it's ever too late. I do think it's easy to get caught up in the day to day mundanities of life and forget the romance, but that's true for everybody. It is probably wise to build confidence in other ways and areas before contemplating embarking on a relationship. If you are unsure, you just risk bringing your insecurities with you. Once you feel good about yourself and what you have to offer, the rest will come more naturally.

It's all a state of mind, if you think you will be lonely the rest of your life that's probably what will happen. You need to keep that belief of something better there, much like how people idealise love where as love is quite overrated as a word and love isn't all you need to make a relationship work there must also be trust and honesty.

You sound like me. No, I don't think it's ever too late to find that one special person it's just harder when you're older. I do think that you can become jaded and untrusting if you've had a few failed relationships tho. It all depends on how badly you want to find someone and what you're willing to compromise w/yourself on (past failures, trust issues, lonliness). Good luck!!

NO! Absolutely not. It depends on you, and the right person for you. If you don't find the love of your life when your young, it doesn't mean that you won't find your love as you get older. You or whoever your talking abt still's got a great chance!!!
