I feel a lot of pressure to move forward in this department but I haven’t had a boyfriend since freshman year of high school 😢 I know I’m not super popular and outgoing. I’m chill and shy. I’m like the cute nerd that’s naive in the whole boy/relationship subject and so I get taken advantage of or ignored. I’m almost 26 now and I feel like it may never happen for me. I’m just worried. Any suggestions? Advice? I do go out and try to be social with the small group of friends I have and when I meet guys I like, I’m not too shy to not ever try. But it never works out. I have tried just forgetting about guys and just focussing on myself but when I do, like now, I get flustered and worried about my future when I see people my age and younger married with kids. 😫

Is it okay to marry and have kids later in life? Am I stressing over nothing?
