I am a 28 year old, single, straight, male. I have never had a girlfriend and I never really had female friends either. I currently do not have even one female contact. None of my friends really know any girls and most of them are single like me. I have absolutley no real experience with relationships and that means I haven't even experienced my first kiss yet. I was discussing this with someone today and they said I was quite bizarre, however, I believe the majority of those my age are in the same boat. Only one of my friends has a girlfriend and he is getting married next year, but he is the only one. I know I shouldn't make broad generalizations based on anecdotal evidence but it's all I have. People say, "Just because you don't know many people in their twenties in a relationship doesn't mean it's rare." Well I say just because they know people at this age in relationships does not mean it's common. Same logic right?

I really don't think it's the same logic. Maybe it's common to meet people in their 20's who aren't in a relationship, but at least they have experienced something with the opposite sex, your situation is rare and you trying to consider it as normal is not helping matters. I mean, do you like your situation or just want o keep it that way because for you it's common?

Hi, I'm way past that age and that's why I'm answering- cause I have the experience- not that I went through the same thing but just to say that you should not be in a hurry to be in a relationship- be happy with who you are, what you are and the friends that you have- LOVE will eventually come to you- meanwhile enjoy life- have fun- you'll have time to settle down. :-)

Your status is unusual, but certainly not unique. The strange part is that you seem to have surrounded yourself with men who have the same issues. This may be a self-reinforcing group, you give each other permission not to take chances and meet new people.
Branch out. Find an activity that you don't share with your friends and stick with it. You need new contacts.
