To be 28 and have never had a relationship

NC for this. I'm 28 with a 5 year old daughter and have never had a relationship. DD was conceived after a one night stand at a party and her father has never been involved. I have focussed on bringing up DD and improving our circumstances and not dated since she was born. I had a couple of other sexual partners before DD's father but they were not relationships. I feel a bit pathetic about this :( I am 28 with a child yet have no clue what it feels like to be in love, or even just be in a relationship. I think people around me find it a bit odd too. Wondering if it will ever happen for me. :(

I think it can be hard to find enough potential candidates (for want of a better word) to give a good chance of mutual chemistry. I'm married but if hadn't got together with DH when I did I don't think I would have found anyone else.

Are you otherwise fulfilled with friends and hobbies? I want to believe in someone for everyone but don't think it's realistic. I mean you could try online dating and see if you get on with it.
