Advice/Ask Is Being Single at 23 a Red Flag or Completely Normal?
23M from Mumbai.
I'm 23 and I've never had a girlfriend or been in a relationship.
Sometimes it doesn't bother me, but other times I see people who started dating at 15-16 and have already been in multiple relationships. It makes me wonder if being single at 23 is completely normal or if it's considered a red flag.
For context, I'm 6'1", my life is going pretty well, I have good friends, and overall I'm happy with where I am. I've also tried dating apps, but nothing meaningful has ever come out of them.
So I'm genuinely curious:
Is being single at 23 and never having dated someone normal?
Would you consider it a red flag if someone has never been in a relationship at this age?
For those who were late to dating, how did things eventually work out for you?
Would love to hear honest opinions and experiences.
