OP, are you my twin? I feel like you make threads about the things that are most directly related to my life/what I've been thinking about most at that particular moment in time I was thinking about this alot yesterday actually. I'm like you in that I'm a "late bloomer". I went out with some friends yesterday and the topic of dates/boyfriends came up. My bffs know that I haven't dated (and it's not a big deal because they're late-ish bloomers too and haven't dated besides their current bfs). However my other friends don't know. I'll give advice sometimes when asked but mostly just listen to the convo. I'm a pretty private/quiet person so I imagine that they think that's the reason I'm not sharing, not because I haven't dated. Normally it doesn't bother me much but right now, it seems like EVERYONE is going on dates. The same subject came up today with a different friend, which didn't make me feel any better
