Does "Never Dated" = "Gay" in peoples

i think it does, i'm 23 too, i've never been with anyone (not sure of my sexuality) and usually keep that to myself by fear of people assuming that i am a lesbian.

 

Only if you was 60 years old maybe
You could say I have never met the right person yet (!)

 

Ive dated two girls, never was really into it, and at 15 found out i was gay, well i am 15, so yeah, i think dating does have a factor

 

Also 23 and I've never dated anyone.

In the past whenever my family asked I would make excuses about focusing on my studies, or I'd say I just haven't found the right one yet. That worked just fine until my parents started playing serious matchmaking (that's what finally made me come out to them).

Extended family still asks whenever they see me. However I think I've done a good enough job at making convincing excuses that they don't really get suspicious. I don't really match the gay stereotype so that probably has worked in my favor as well.

 

I'm sure if I wasn't so damn ugly people would assume I was gay. I've never dated anyone, and yes if you are in your mid 20s and have never dated people will assume things.

 

I remember eight or nine years ago, my parents were dealing with a client, and afterwards I heard them remark: "He's in his 20s and he doesn't have a girlfriend. I wonder if he's gay".

But for the most part, I was under the impression that never dated = alien.

I'm a few years older, and remember dating a girl in high school (for two weeks) and then another girl for a few days once I'd left (who wouldn't leave me alone, and cried when I broke it off) I always use the line than I have no money to go out, but in reality I just don't have the friends, or the confidence, to make something happen.

 

One of my cousins used to live in Texas and he never dated until he was in his junior year of college. Before that time, some people thought he was gay since he was never dated. I think it depends on where you live.

 

To be honest, I've never felt emotionally ready to date until maybe a year ago, so I don't think it has to be related to sexuality. That said, I think coming to terms with my sexuality was the reason I became emotionally ready, but I'm sure there are straight people who go through the same thing.

 

You need a Fag Hag, to take the heat off you Lol
I am still not sure if that word is appropriate but I have asked on here before & I was told it was

 

In many circles, yeah, that's what people think, stupid as that is. When I was in college, I KNOW some of my extended family thought that about me, because they all but said so. I'm also a private person so don't talk about that much to them anyway. In my entire adult life, they have seen me with ONE girl. They may still think that about me, and now, well...

I really don't understand why everyone believes that each of us HAS to be "coupled."

AlamoCity, you could tell them you're focused on your studies at the moment.

 

I think it's a factor but some people I know are just not interested in dating. But no matter how old you are, you will always be straight in the eyes of a religious nutjob. Therefore, yes and no.

 

If you're not ready to date yet, then don't. That is your call, not someone else's.
If you are, go for it. From your photo and posts, it's obvious that you are a nice-looking, intelligent guy. If I knew someone your age down your way, I'd introduce you.

 

My cousin is decent looking, has a good job, a nice home, and a nice car. He just doesn't date women. He's out with the guys frequently. It does make me wonder if he's gay.

 

I have one or two in the family about whom I've wondered the same thing. I would never ask because it's not my place to do so. At the same time, I wonder if they feel everyone in the family would condemn them. I'm struggling with that myself.

 

This made me realise that I'm the only single one out of me, my sister and my cousins. Sad times... :bang:

 

You will find someone. There's a nice guy out there who is probably in the same situation you are, and you just haven't met yet.
