I hope I’m not too late in my response, but it is not “weird” or “a failure” to have never been in a relationship at 24. Perhaps you just haven’t met the right person who shares the same vibe as you.

you said that it seems like every other woman you know is or has been in a relationship. But you don’t know the back stories of how they got there, whether the relationship is worth being in, or even if they are happy.

life is not defined by having a boyfriend or sex. it’s by how happy you are with yourself. If you feel that having a sexual relationship with this current guy will make you happy, then go ahead with it. But if you are only doing it to satisfy what you think is required in society, you might need to reconsider.

Finally, you can be more assertive and talk to guys whom you are interested in, instead of letting the conversation die off after a few texts. We are all so wound up in the dating “game” that we sometimes lose out on real meaningful relationships because we wanna seem popular / cool. I’ve found myself in great relationships with people only because I pursued it, otherwise it would’ve died off after a couple of texts.

Good luck in finding love!
