Is it weird that at 26 I've never had a girlfriend?

Question

So, I've lived for 26 years and for all those years, I've never been in a relationship with a girl/woman, is that weird or it's no big deal? And no, I'm not a virgin.

Actually, that is pretty normal. You don't need to be in a relation to be considered normal.

A great number of people are not in a relation by a given age and that does not mean anything about them or their capabilities to be in a relation.

You just had other priorities in life and if you are happy with the setup, then it is all to your advantage.

No relation means also no risk of cheating, less risk of health issues due to STD/STI as long as you are not a womanizer and go left and right to get what you want.

If you could be without a relation till now, why not continue in the same direction? There are nothing but advantages to be single.

@Curiousnesshmmm Of course not. The real good ones are the ones that do not prioritize togetherness because they know better.

The people that have other priorities in life do not let themselves be tied down by a relation but enjoy life. But that does not mean that because you are alone or single you are going to be lonely all your life.

I am celibate and enjoy every single minute of it because I have no one to tie me down and I am free to do whatever I want whenever I want and I don't have to adapt to someone else's schedule or idiosyncrasies.

its no doubt more common than you think, a lot of people just will lie about it or just won't disclose it out preventing embarassment or lowering their self-esteem
