TL;DR: I'm afraid my lack of relationship and dating experience is a red flag that no one will look past
I've almost always been single. I've only had 2 relationships, both in my early/mid 20s, both lasted less than a year, I was not emotionally present or a good partner in either. Dated/slept around in my late 20s/early 30s, then stopped dating entirely. At this point I have not dated anyone even semi-seriously in well over 10 years and haven't dated at all for 6 years.
As I'm closing in on 40 I've been reflecting a lot on my life thus far. I'm extremely fortunate, privileged and grateful to have led the awesome life I have. And while I know there are more great times ahead, my greatest regret/fear is that I've missed out on some of the best parts of life: love, intimacy, sex, romance, adventure, partnership, passion, oxytocin..
Is my perpetual singleness too much of a red flag? Have I spent too long in my own world, and missed the opportunity to be a part of someone else's? Am I overthinking it?
