I ask this because it's come up in conversation countless times in my work life that I'm a virgin and that I've never had a partner nor gone on any dates. I'm 21 so I wouldn't have thought it'd be that wild and outlandish of a thing, but I've had people look at me like I've grown horns.
These are the reasons I've noted; lack of opportunity post-school bc I wasn't social at all outside of school growing up and nothing ever filled that void once I left, lack of social experience as a whole comparatively to most people my age, little desire for dating or pursuing anyone, and I'm pretty sure that I've been depressed for at least a year or two and passive suicidal ideation is a recurring thought in my life.
Suffice it to say, I do not believe myself to be ready to start dating at all. I have made an effort to start socialising more lately, but I still think that dating is not on the cards for the foreseeable future.
