Is someone who hasn't had a relationship by 27 screwed romantically?

To be honest, i'm not sure if i could even cope with being in a real relationship. I got my heart broken once and that was enough to put me off for life.

I also got my heart broken, and that set me back a bit, but I'm now ready to get some closeness with a girl again. I need to let it go.

I'm sorry you got your heart broken. It's a truly devastating feeling.

I just got out of a 2 year relationship and was told I was socially awkard and needed to fix myself....must be so nice to be so perfect! Who needs a relationship!

My brother had his first girlfriend at age 14. She left him for his best friend. He didn't have another relationship until meeting his wife at 30... ten years ago now.

By contrast I've been in relationships almost constantly since my first at 16, but the longest I've been with anyone is five years, and most of them were only two.

So who's screwed?

i am 30 and the last real relationship i had was when i was 21 (met her on AOL... yeah that long ago). i've nearly given up trying to find someone on dating sites i'm just not the catch every women is looking for. loves to travel, 5'10"+ tons of money, mature, basically outgoing which i'm not. i have 2 months left on match *crosses fingers* :thumbup:

I've been in relationships b/c I always felt I was supposed to be. I just realized that. I've had some good ones, sometimes I tried too hard to make them work...b/c I wanted to be normal with normal social experiences.

I'm wondering if that is the case, though of course there are exceptions, and while I probably have answered my own question at this point, I'm simply looking for input. Thoughts?

im 27 and have never had one. i hardly see people i don't know. you're not screwed up forever but it is a little harder to catch up with others. lets remain positive though. theres someone for everyone,,so i hear.

I've actually tried POF. Haven't had much success on that site, although it's probably due to the area I'm in. "Must be: Caucasian, tall, athletic, charming/funny but not to funny, outgoing, assertive, able to sweep me off my feet."

It's like, hell, why don't I just call Brad Pitt and tell him your looking for him.

Oddly enough, all the reasons you just mentioned, mate. Well, to some extent, anyway. Cannae really give ye a better explaination. Since am still single... and content with things as is.

Though, ye can pay for sex - if ye so desire (ie desperate) and huv enough dosh (money). :bigsmile: Just sayin'... and only slightly jokin' about the hooker remark I just made. Though, I've got a funny feelin' am now gonnae get a load o' s**t fur sayin' that now...?! :idontknow: :bigsmile:

Human nature, i suppose. As humans we gravitate towards acceptance and in time intimate relationships. It's part of who we are.

But you do make a good point. I do think at times we just want it (relationships) since it's what everyone else gets up to. I have to say, i've fallen in that trap. at the moment i'm not made for a relationship, so i think it's best to not want to be in one until its something i can realistically achieve.
