Is it that unusual for a 30 year old man to have never had a girlfriend?
I am a near-30 year old man and I have never had a girlfriend or even experienced my first kiss yet. I have been quite busy with my career and getting an education for the last 10 years or so, leaving precious little time for me to devote to dating, etc. There is nothing "wrong" with me as people have suggested. I am employed, educated, decent looking and a nice person and straight of course. Why do some people find my being single so hard to comprehend? People are very dense sometimes. Additionally, I don't appreciate it when people try to set me up. I am not exactly ready to begin dating yet and when I am, I will do it on my own thank you very much! Some people look at my being single and look at it as being a disease rather than a blessing. Why is that? If you can take both these questions, that would be great! Thanks!

- Yes and no it depends do you know how to talk to girls or if you do you have a problem
- I wouldn't say being single is a blessing, but I don't think there is anything wrong with your situation. You obviously chose a road that many don't. You went out and got an education for the last 10 years and just didn't really have time for a relationship, maybe not even dating. You've been flying solo for such a long time and have had no need for a partner, like you said you will begin dating when you feel like. I know a few people who haven't been in relationships for YEARS. One of my friends recently go into his first relationship at 28 yrs old. He was in the same boat as you, although he didn't spend 10 years in school. He was just out in left field when it came to women.
- your situation is like the 40 yr old virgins you should watch it unless you have already haahaha
- well kinda yes because it is human for people to have relationships with each other at an earlier age than 30 and kiss and all of that stuff you don't want to be the next 40 year old virgin do you?
- I don't want to be mean buddy, but think about it...you are 30 years old...that is 30 years without kissing a woman! I am only saying that it is just a little unusual. You need to get out there and start taking whatever you get. If someone wants to hook you up with a woman, that is a totally fine way of meeting woman. You need to use whatever kind of chance you get to your advantage! Start going to bars and/or clubs more often, most women are single in those places and are looking for men. Just gain some confidence! Women love a confident man. You can't be so timid! Just walk up to an attractive women and start talking! That is the only way...if you don't talk...then there's no hope for you! You have to make some moves or nothing will work in this situation. Have a conversation about things you like and dislike, where they're from...anything! If you do this and have a good conversation just say "can i get your number?" and i'm sure she'll give it to you...once you have the number you're golden! then you need to call her a couple days later just to talk or to plan a date! This is necissary to date someone. After that you can start dating and become a "normal" guy!! haha well i wish you good luck and just do it! it's never to late to start!
- It is truly unusual to be that age and to have never even had a kiss. Most people aren't that easily distracted by their careers and education. BUT...if your okay with it, then friends and family don't have a right to pry and try to set you up when you aren't comfortable with it. I don't see that there is anything "wrong" with you, but again, it is unusual to be that age and "choose" not to have even had a kiss. You must be tired after all that hard work for the last ten years if you haven't had time to even kiss someone.
