Is it a red flag if a guy in his late 20s hasn't had long term dating experience?

Question

HelloImGoodThanks · Accepted Answer

No why would it be a red flag. There are heaps of people who haven't had long term dating experiences and they went on to eventually meet the right person and get married and have a family. I know someone in their 50's who had little history of dating and they are now in a committed long term relationship with someone they are in love with and who is in love with them. They have now been together for years now

Sometimes life gets in the way and it prevents someone from being able to date. Other times it could be they themselves just weren't ready to date because they weren't emotionally ready.

Yes a bit of a red flag. I would definitely be questioning him why he hasn't dated anyone long term yet

Generally speaken I would say no unless he´s only single because he prefers hook up culture more.

In all the other cases never forget there are also shy and overthinking guys and he might haven´t had the guts to ask out a woman in his early 20s or younger years so it could be that he just different priorities in his life because of it.

No, he could have been busy with school, building his career, worked out of town or traveled a lot for work and it was a low priority.
Or he lives in his command post in his parent's basement and plays games 20 hours a day, or anything in-between.

It could be a RED FLAG however in my book it isn’t & I look at it like the person hasn’t met the right one.

Avicenna · Answer

That's for you to decide. There could be many reasons for that.

JosyJosy · Answer

Nope. It's not because he hasn't had dating experience, that he can't be an incredible partner.

No if you want to be his next short-term relationship

JSmuve · Answer

No, of course not. Y'all women honestly come up with the stupidest stuff to call "red flags".

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

Yes, it could be a red flag but again maybe it's the woman's part of not being faithful to him so he has short-term dating?

HippieVeganJewslim · Answer

Probably not. Many are asexual or just really socially clumsy like myself. Is not having any relationship longer than one year considered long-term dating experience? Nu, if so, then I am one.

I hope not. If he is in medical school or law school, active military, it could happen. If he is in a band always traveling banging random chicks

Tomsta · Answer

Only if you take it at face value, if you stop and start to wonder why and you know talk to the guy maybe you'll find out. I didn't get my first girlfriend till i was 26

Shy_Steve · Answer

No, It's pretty normal and it can be pretty common. He is only 20 years old and you are already judging him on his past.

exitseven · Answer

even I had long term dating history by then. I guess it would be a red flag.

Anonymous · Answer

not necessary its more common for guys to have less dating experience than girls but of course depends what the reason is

Anonymous · Answer

No. Unless he's not looking for anything serious and you are

EnglishEuropean · Answer

It probably just means he's not looking for a relationship.

Fromdusktilldawn · Answer

Oh so I'm a red flag because I hate dating
