To be honest, no I wasn't. I didn't date till I got to college (and most times I feel like the whole business is like flying by the seat of your pants until BOOM there's the one that fits and makes sense lol) but I didn't let the fact that I hadn't dated anyone let me feel less "valid" than others who dated around.

I'm not married nor do I have children, but my lack of experience in those departments doesn't stop my married friends or friends who are moms coming to me for advice or input, and if I don't know what they're talking about I usually try to do some internet search on it. Even if you don't think you HAVE the experience, you know you better than anyone else, and you can have a decent grasp on how you would hypothetically respond/act in situations which helps in those conversations.
