I'm 22 years old and i havent had a serious relationship or proper boyfriend yet. I started dating when i went away to college at 18. I've been together with 4 guys over the years. 3 of them lasted 3-5 months and one was a complicated on/off relationship for a year. None had titles, but we were exclusive that we were only with one another and met eachother's friends and so forth.

I've had hookups as well (mostly makeouts and a little further)- i've talked to a lot of guys as well. I just can't seem to find the right guy.

I'm grateful as i got to experience amazing things with these people and shared wonderful memories. I also have shared stories of my life with them, experienced intimacy, s*x, and have been in love.

Idk i guess i feel silly that i haven't had a long, proper or official relationship yet at my age. Is this all normal?

At 22, no. There's no rush. Date, decide what you like in guys and what you don't like. It's better to decide that before getting into "a long, proper or official relationship." Enjoy your single years but don't be afraid to couple-up when/if the time is right.

22 is still young. Still in Uni or just finished.

Wait until you are 28 and then you might be on to something.

If you look on this site you'll see several guys who've never had girlfriends. Why don't you talk to them about it?

Don't worry about it. When the time is right and the right man comes into your life, it will happen. You still have a way to go in the game of life. Just make sure when you do meet someone that wants to be your boyfriend, that you stay who you are.

But that is all your future problems.......be young and enjoy the single life.

use it to find out who you are.

Don't sweat it you are only 22.....go out with a guy to have a good time the rest with evolve naturally.
You may get your first serious relationship in a year, 3 years or 5+ years, that doesn't matter.

Keep putting in the effort and going out with guys. If you don't shoot you can't score. And sometimes good things take time.

It's normal. People don't really do official anymore.
