Software Techie from Kerala — Am I Late to Relationships?

I’m a 25M from Kerala, working as a software engineer. For most of my early 20s, my entire focus was on studies, career, and getting financially stable. I always thought relationships could wait until I “settled” properly with a good job and some stability in life.
Now that I finally reached that stage, I’ve started thinking seriously about companionship and relationships. But honestly, I feel like I’m very late compared to others around me. Most of my friends already have relationship experience, breakups, dating stories, or even plans for marriage. Meanwhile, I’ve never really been in a proper relationship.
It’s not that I never wanted one. I just never had the courage or confidence earlier. I used to think I should first become “worthy enough” — good career, decent income, stable life, etc. Only now I feel emotionally ready to open up to someone.
But entering the dating/relationship scene at 25 feels weird sometimes. I don’t know how people even start nowadays. Apps feel superficial, and approaching someone in real life feels awkward. Sometimes I wonder if I missed out on an important phase of life.

Nudity

I’m 28M, and I’ve always felt more relaxed and mentally comfortable being nude at home rather than fully dressed. For me it doesn’t always feel sexual — sometimes it just feels natural and freeing. I’m curious how women generally see this. Do you think being comfortable nude at home is normal between partners, or does it still feel like a taboo subject for most women? If someone you were dating preferred being casually nude at home while relaxing, would you find that comfortable, awkward, attractive, or something that depends on emotional connection and trust?

I work as a software engineer, and this high libido tendency sometimes distracts me from my work and affects my focus. So, I’ve been thinking about getting into a serious relationship.
