....by the age of 24, is that okay? How would you girls view that?

By the age of 30? (when my education will be finished?)

At 24, it's unusual and you're probably somewhat socially retarded but you might have a chance still sorta.
At 30, start your cat collection.
It really isn't that difficult to date and attend school at the same time. Well, not physically at the same time, but concurrently.

???

Cat collection? But I'm a guy! What? I don't get the joke here. I thought only Crazy Old Ladies had cats.

*Crazy Cat Lady on "The Simpsons" is my dream woman! How I would pleasure that goddess*

And is it really considered social retardation to have never had a girlfriend by 24? Why?

It's okay..........................

Just don't tell your first girlfriend when you are 30 and finished with your education that she is your first girlfriend. Under no circumstances - do not tell her.

Act like you were a player for over a decade. But do not tell her - ever.

What if she asks me how many girlfriends I've had? What happens if she finds out that she's my first girlfriend?

I'm 25 and never had a girl ask me how many girlfriends I've had. It's not exactly a number I keep at the top of my head.

Do what she is going to do throughout the entire relationship........LIE.

You have not have a girlfriend yet, so you do not know that.

LIE - your entire relationship will be based on lies anyway, and both of you mirroring back the inflated facade of a false self the other person wants to see anyway. So yeah, lie.

I could care less how girls view that. Having a girlfriend isn't top priority for some men, myself included. If it's meant to happen, it will. Besides, given that some women have more issues than NY Times, I'll pass on their belligerence There's too much pressure put on people to be in a relationship by a certain age.

I've had girlfriends, but I wouldn't really call them long term relationships. Don't worry about it man, you'll be fine.

Don't lie. If she's the kind of girl who would dump you because she's your first, she's the wrong girl for you and the relationship doesn't have a shot in the long run. Even if you could keep her for a year or whatever by lying, it would self-destruct in the end. If she's the right girl for you, she won't care.

As a side note, I worry that this is more of an issue for you than anyone else. I also worry that you might be subconsciously lowering your standards, which is why you're willing to let this "fake date" girl walk all over you and treat you like a toy instead of a human being. If you allow her to walk all over you, she'll never respect you because it will be clear from your actions that you do not respect yourself, that you are a little desperate to have whatever scraps of "fake dating" she'll throw you. If you are assertive in showing what you want and are genuine to your needs, you at least have a shot.
