YES!
I know our own hormones, society, and loneliness all push us, if not into a relatioship, at least into the sack!
A relationship, romance, whatever you call it helps fill a want or need.. but that doesn't mean it is wise!
First off, you want to figure out a way to be happy and complete ON YOUR OWN! A relationship should be an "add on" to an existing complete life, not a solution to one!
Second off, you are young enough to be working on figuring out how YOU are, and what YOU want.. sure is a lot easier to do that on your own without someone telling you that!
So yes, it is OK, and for a long long time beyond 20!
Before you jump into a "relationship", try just dating, making friends, building a life.

I have friends that are 23 and never had a bf. I wasted my first bf from ages 19-21. If someone told you that you have to be in a relationship when you're in your 20's they're just trying to play on your insecurities. You're 20, you've got plenty of time and lots of life to live!

Of course it is okay...there are no rules to when or if you ever have to be in a relationship. There are plenty of people out there who prefer not to be in one and who are just as happy all the same. Don;t put the pressure on yourself...you'll know when the time...and that special someone is right!

It sounds like maybe you have certain standards, and that's a very good thing. It's ok to be doing whatever makes you happy - age has absolutely nothing to do with it. I think it's better to wait for that special person to come into your life, rather than just date for the sake of dating. Although that's fun too! Hey- you never know- you might just meet "the ONE" when you're out with someone else- happens a lot. Hang in there!

um... are you serious?
Your 20s are probably the BEST time for you to be single. No one is really awkward on the dating scene anymore. Everyone knows the routine and knows what to expect. Being 20 and single is a damn good time. Live it up! (but be safe)
so... in response to your question... YES - it is 100% O.K. (if not encouraged) to NOT be in a relationship in your 20s.

You're much better off, than most. And you have the good sense to ask the question. At your age, the men,that you would Date. Only have one thing on their mind. Or,their Bodies mind, at least. Start looking into what would make your perfect mate. Not Looks, and money. His likes, beliefs, hobbies. And then see if he has respect of others. That'lleliminate alot of ones,that you meet today. it may take time. But it'llsave alot of grief and pain,on down the road. Good Luck. And great question!

It is always acceptable to not be in a relationship if a person hasnt found someone worth exploring that with but our society too often make a person feel guilty for not being "hooked up" with someone when it really means that they simply have not met that person to hook up with or are more interested in other aspects of their lives for the moment.

Yes. I just turned 20 and I am single. You have a long time to find the right person. In the meantime, enjoy your friends, family, and work towards achieving your own personal goals.
