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

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?

Kill me now if that's the case! I am 32 and I have still not had a relationship for more than a couple of weeks, and that was a very long time ago. I guess that means I am going to say you are not screwed, but I am obviously not an authority on the matter.

I don't see why you would be. If anyone you'll date cares about that, then don't waste your time with them.

No, you're not screwed. Don't do anything that you're not ready for. And for some people, romantic relationships might not be their calling. I say, don't go looking for romance too actively. Let it come to you, at the right time.

I don't think you're screwed, but your peers who've been dating will probably have a better idea what they want and thus be less willing to spend time/energy just giving something/someone a try than they used to be. Alternatively, they might be much more willing because they're worried about ending up alone. One of the two... probably depends on the individual in question.

This doesn't sound good....

No, you're most certainly not screwed. I'm currently 26 and I've only had one real relationship, and that lasted 2 months (long story, won't share it now). I know that there's potential for me in the future. With the rise and rise of online dating, you never know what fish are swimming in the sea of love.

No, absolutely not. But, you are screwed (actually, you wont get screwed) if you don't go out and try to meet women. Work, is not the best place but there's a reason why office romances are so common. Spending time with the opposite sex all week well tend to do that.

Other than work, your best bet would be online dating sites. I heard there's dating sites for people with SA. I know other members on this forum have more information about that.

Ok. That sounded wrong. I mean, I wanted more than a physical relationship and he didn't.

I am 32 and have not had a serious relationship, I would like to think that I am not screwed forever.
I am not stuck up or picky I just want a kind and honest girl who i can love and who loves and respects me for who I am. I hope that a girl like that exists and that someday our paths will cross. I don't want to spend all my life alone and the thought of doing so makes me feel unbelievably sad.

I wouldn't say you're romantically screwed at all.
Actually, I think it's quite refreshing when people haven't spent all their adult life either chasing or being in a relationship.
There's more to life than relationships, if somebody has spent their 20's doing lots of other cool stuff besides trying to catch somebody of the opposite gender, then I think that's quite attractive personally. Independence is sexy. Desperation isn't.

I can relate. I'm 28 atm and never had a relationship. The problem is the "crossing paths" with someone. since i'm so solitary and lack so much self confidence i can't really see myself trying to make things happen. I hope none of us are screwed, and i sincerely hope we can all find the right person in time, but on a personal level, i've accepted being alone for the rest of my life.
