As the years go by, many people settle into relationships and start families, leaving some individuals feeling anxious about their own love lives.
A man in his late 20s recently shared his concerns with The Standard about never having been in a proper relationship.
Despite being successful in his career and having a good group of friends, he worries that he may never find someone to share his life with.
He admits to being hesitant to use dating apps due to fear of rejection and the stigma associated with them.
However, a recent response to his concerns suggests that he may be overthinking things and that dating apps can be a viable option for finding love.
According to the advice, there's no stigma attached to using dating apps, and they've become a huge part of dating culture.
With so many options available, it's about choosing the right one for you and being open-minded.
Even if you don't meet 'the one', you might have a few great dates and get used to meeting people and having conversations.
As the advice suggests, it's essential to focus on yourself and not compare yourself to others who may be settling down.
After all, most people don't meet their life partner until at least their late 20s, so he's still at the start, not the end.
