Have most 28 year old guys had girlfriends yet?

I am a single, straight, 28 year old guy. I am decent looking, educated, employed and secure financially as I still live at home with my parents and other adult siblings. I have everything to offer a woman, but I never had the opportunity to get into a real relationship. I went on two dates with two different girls when I was 23, but that's it. I haven't even had my first kiss yet. Some extended family members, friends and coworkers say this is unusual. But I don't think many people as young as I am have been in real relationships yet. Yes, there are always exceptions, but what is the real deal?

    Honestly, most people this age have had some sort of a relationship -- may not be "the one", but something. Also, they have definitely kissed, made out, etc. by this age. I think there are three things preventing you from having a relationship -- (1) You live with your parents. If you're financially secure, why don't you move out and get your own place, even if it is a studio apartment? Girls are attracted to guys who can take care of themselves; (2) You don't know where to meet girls -- to solve this, attend as many social events as you can (happy hours at work, friends' house parties, etc.) and even go to bars. Although you probably won't meet someone good at a bar, just doing all these social things and putting yourself out there will get you in the mood of talking to people and particularly, girls. Also, try meeting girls online. You're just trying something new -- don't think too much about it. (3) You are probably self-conscious that you haven't kissed yet. The next time you meet a girl, just psyche yourself into believing that it is not a big deal - because honestly, it isn't, even though most people have done it by now. Be completely confident and go for it. What do you have to lose? NOTHING. What do you have to gain? EVERYTHING. Good luck brother!

    I'm a girl and so, we're in the same boat... I had some casual relationship but didnt go that far. I think as you get older you get to be more selective what you look for a life partner.

    This is what others have given me for an advice: STOP LOOKING for love and let it find you... Meaning, if you keep on searching and being desperate, it will get harder and you wont find that ideal partner you've been looking for... Love will be found until it wants too. It's weird but that's the truth.

    I hope in time that the girl you've been seeking all your life may crossed your path. Just go on living your life (cause it's really short) and enjoy the activities you‘re passionate about. Sooner or later, you will bump into the girl who shares the same beliefs and values in life. Best of luck!

    Most guys/girls nowadays usually have their 1st "real" boyfriend/ girlfriend around high school. Some even have a BF or GF in 8th grade! Maybe you just haven't met a person that you really liked enough to go out with or maybe you should ask more people out. My friend (he is a guy), when we are at the mall or something, asks lots of girls out and 9 out of 10 he asks will say no and 1 out of 10 will say yes. Don't just ask one girl out. You need to maybe show your personality more too.

    Its unusual, but it happens so dont feel bad. I think you first need to move out on your own, especially if your secure financially. Living at home at 28 might make some women have second thoughts about you. Good Luck

    It's not abnormal for 28 year old guys that live in there parents basement to never have had a girlfriend.

    My advice would be to move out your parents house and experience independence. Take things from there on by meeting girls and maybe bringing them home. If you don't snag a girl now, chances are you never will. Best of luck!

    yes, hun, they have, but that doesn't mean you have to if you don't want to... if you don't find someone you want to go out with, then fair enough if you stay single! i wasted 9 months of my life with a complete a**wipe who messed me around, was getting with 3 other girls behind my back, and generally treated me really badly, so I wish I'd stayed single then... but now am with someone who's great and treats me really well so am really glad am not single... so if you're going to find a girl, make sure she's someone who's going to treat u well and make u happy!

    um duh. Most have had real gfs. Real deal? What do u mean relationship? I sorta agree, but actually they are, and they are married at 23-28 so yeah, no. Never had the opportunity?
