i just want to let ya’ll know i was never asked out to a school dance in high school and have never been on a date in all 24 years of my life. i’m not mad about it, just trying to normalize it.
I was never asked out in high school either and I was in my twenties when I started dating. I’m glad I’m not the only one who wants to normalize that. It made me feel like I was a freak/unlovable for the longest time and if someone were there to tell me “it’s ok you’re not weird for that” it would have made a huge difference to me.
I spent SO MUCH time in high school trying to figure out what was wrong with me. Even the weirdest dorks I knew had dated each other at least. I thought maybe I just put out a bad vibe or something until finally my senior year a girl I was friends with mentioned that she’d never had a boyfriend. And she was so… normal? She was pretty and nice and funny and had lots a friends. I was like ok… if she’s never dated anyone and there’s nothing wrong with her maybe there’s nothing wrong with me either lol
