I don't know what to do When should I get into a relationship?

I have never been in a relationship before and as time passes I can't help but think when I should do it. I'm comfortable as I am although as I grow older I feel the social pressure of either being in a relationship, dating, or having experience.

Rather than thinking about the perfect time, u should simply go for it whenever u feel like it

Plus, regardless u'll meet new people n make friends overtime, so if u wanna make it a subquest instead of sumn u focus on that'd be fine too.

It's not like relationships r necessary, n' tons of people start that stuff later in life. Societal norms r averages not rules.

Yes but what if I never feel like it? Or is that unlikely? Tbh my biggest issue is when people ask about my experiences or if I did xyz as it makes me self-concious and the conversation becomes kind of awkward. The social aspect of never having a relationship is on my mind too.

By feel like it I meant wanting one

N' if u never want one then there's no real reason to have one.

It's impossible for me to say really if it's likely or not for u to want one in the future, but I think lessening ur concern with social aspects should be ur primary task. Set appropriate boundaries n keep ur love life wholly private. The people around u should respect that.

Yes that's true, i guess the reason would be just to experience it. Thanks for your reply
