Never been in a relationship

NewMaker · 09/03/2025 19:14

I am a 24 years old a shy boy who has never been in a relationship before. So, is it a normal thing in these days? I mean even the kids who are younger than me have been in relationships, even they have had sex too. I have never had sex with someone before. Thinking about this has made me sick. Are there any other people like me or people who have been like me? If so any advice?
I really like to meet other people and have enjoy with them, but since I am an introvert, it is hard for me to find some new friends physically. So, I would like to have some friends or someone to at least talk about this and their experiences. Any suggestions or advises?

Makes you sick because you are jealous or the thought of sex makes you sick?

No, I am not jealous about them. I am really happy about them because they have a life I don't have. But it is true that my thoughts of sex make me sick. I don't deny it. What to do, it is who I am.

Not everyone is sexually attracted to other people- I’m sure there are plenty of people the same.

You can lead a fulfilling life without following the same path as other people. Is this what you mean?

It can be hard meeting people in real life these days, whatever age you are in this online world.

I know you are an introvert but have you got any hobbies or things that you can do to meet people?

I don’t think you should put yourself under pressure to have a relationship. I’m not sure quite what you mean by sex makes you feel sick. Do you mean with anxiety at the thought of it?

Thank you for ur kind words. Actually what I meant is I also like to enjoy the life as others do. But, since I am not like them, it is a big problem for me

I like watch movies, play games and stuff. But those are also indoor activities.

Yeah something like that too. I mean, when I see others enjoy their sexual life, I feel like I want to do the same. But since I don't have someone to do that, I feel sad about that. Also, sometimes I try to imagine things, things like that how would I have sex with someone in future. When I do that, I don't feel like I have confidence to do that because I don't have any experience about that except the porn/. I am afraid that, what will happen if I couldn't satisfy my partner in sex in future. So, it makes me worry about that and again it makes me sick about that

Do some activities where you can meet women. Clubs, societies, classes, sports and join some online dating sites. Try meetup.com and see what's going on in your area.

If you can afford it, I would suggest having some counselling to identify what is holding you back and to work on a plan to boost your confidence and start meeting people.

Channellingsophistication · 10/03/2025 22:15

I think you just need to get out and meet people. Everybody has worries around sex but honestly when the time comes you just have to be natural about it and not put pressure on yourself. I think you need to boost your confidence.

Another man comes on to a predominantly female forum and asks about relationships yet it quickly becomes apparent he's overly focused on sex and wants us to give him information. It's a regular occurrence on here and always follows the same pattern.

Definitely not alone. Before I was married, I had a boyfriend who was 33 and a virgin. He’d never even kissed anyone. Sometimes I guess it just takes a while to find someone, you’ll get there.
