.....before it becomes kind of really weird that he's never had a girlfriend before?
And for a girl, to have never had a boyfriend?
I don't think one can set a specific age limit. It would depend on the circumstances.
If a teenager or young adult is focusing on education and getting a career off the ground, he or she may not be able to fit dating into their life yet.
If, on the other hand, the person is not dating because they are socially inept or awkward, it may become more and more difficult to start dating as time passes. In that case, the person might benefit from some advice from friends or from professional counseling to help him or her better deal with the opposite sex in social situations.

I mean, I'd look at someone who is 22 and never had a boyfriend or girlfriend as a little bit strange. Usually people at least have some kind of relationship by then, even if it's only high school relationship for 6 months.
But by 24, you should have been able to establish some kind of mutual relationship. By 27, it's freakish not to.
I'm going to say 25. By that age you're normally past your dorkish vacillation and have some confidence in yourself as person. There are always exceptions but I would consider it weird not to have some kind of relationship by 25.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
YOU need to get out and meet more people or open your eyes.
There's TONS of guys who have never had a girlfriend by their mid 20s. They may have gotten laid a few times, but no girlfriend. I can rattle of at least 3 or 4 just from the last job I had.
I know a small group of girl friends I went to high school with who are all around 25 and who never ever went on a proper date (to my knowledge), nor had a boyfriend. I don't find it weird because I know they have attractive personalities that would be compatible with a lot of guys. Problem is, they are too picky (or claim to be picky to justify the lack of romantic relationships) and they don't put themselves out there enough. They got it in their head that romance is like a Disney film and they should just wait for the Prince Charming to show up and sweep them off their feet.
I know they are nice girls with great future, but I am sort of worried about them now... so are their parents.
But I digressed.
