> if I was 40+ and met someone who hadn't experienced that in this day and page it's probably more likely they had also had some social hang up that you just haven't learned about.
Can confirm. Am 35 and never dated and had MAJOR issues.
The part that sucks is it also basically means I can never date. I'm much healthier now and could probably be a decent partner (part of the reason I never dated before is I was aware that I wasn't in a space to be a good partner), but nobody is interested in a 35 year old woman with no experience so it's not going to happen.
We're in a situation where people should date even if they can't handle a relationship because if they don't, they'll be too old and locked out altogether.
