Do you know anyone who hasn’t been in a relationship?

[IStoppedBelieving]

Or had sex?

What are they like?
How old are they?

And also, would you judge someone who hasn’t?

Yes, my sil. 46, never had a boyfriend or girlfriend, she's never had a friend either, never had a job so no work colleagues. still lives at home with her parents running around after her. She's a nasty piece of work who thinks, when the parents are gone we will take up the reins and help her out - not a chance.

Thank you for your perspective.
Some times (most times) it’s easy just to see what is lacking and romanticize relationships.

@WheresTheLambSauce
Minus going on dates and being older, a lot what you wrote, I can relate with.

And to anyone saying that they wouldn’t judge, thank you so much.
I’ve felt so bad about my situation for so long, that you can’t believe how good the nicer comments felt.

One of my oldest friends. He is lovely, kind and caring, good house and job, handsome. Just never seemed to meet anyone, male or female. Our circle of friends is made up of straight and gay people, at one point all willing g to set him up with eligible single people but he was too shy or polite to say he wasn't interested.

My brother has had a couple of close female friends who he called girlfriends but I think they were more like friends. He's very eccentric and a bit of a loner. Always lived alone. Had a few jobs but lives on benefits now

@olderthanilookapparently, sounds like we share the same bil. I have one who still lives at home at 58. He stammers and so does.not like to speak except to close family. Got job as family friends gave it to him, could not do interview. He won't speak on phone at all. Painfully shy but has been kind to his nephews. We don't know what will happen when his Mum, over 80 eventually dies.

Yes. I know a couple. One has special needs and the other elected religiously orientated life (not officially - only as a lay person). The latter absolutely hated whenever the media went on about a named suspect (who was later found to be totally innocent) of a murder being a virgin - as if it was a blot on their character. So much for respecting other people's choices in life.

Yes. I have a friend who is 70 and I have known her since primary school. I don't think she is assexual as she had all the usual teenage crushes and I think she would have liked a relationship. I wouldn't ask her but I think she has probably never had sex. She is quite shy and has just never been asked out. We used to go to church and youth club and have kept in touch.
She lived at home and had a quiet job with mostly other female employees.
At thirty she made a radical change in her life and moved away from home and went to University.
She has an interesting life now with hobbies etc but regrets never having a family. In those days you sort of waited to be asked. She was quite pretty but in a reserved sort of way.
I have another friend who never had a relationship too, physical disability being a factor.
They are both nice women.

Yes, I work with a lady in her late 40's who has never had a relationship. Dont know about sex but I would strongly suspect not...She keeps herself to herself and does not really talk to anyone at work unless she has to
