I do not know if I am the best person to answer this...I am a bit biased being 22, single, never had a boyfriend, never been asked out or kissed. I do not think it is weird, it just sounds like you (or the person you are describing) has different priorities than others.

Not weird, not because I'm one in that group, but because I know there are many others who are in the same boat as well :). But I don't want to justify my current state either. I'll just try to enjoy as much as I can. LOL!

It is not necessarily a weirdly thing if not kissed even by 31 years age.Why put life in somebody else's hands.Its your chance.Generally right things should happen in life at the right age.But the world is not the same as it is sometime ago.Its changing fast,priorities are changing so are the choice and chance for pleasures.

Yes, I think peoples' priorities have changed. And I guess, even though people have different cultures, we're becoming this one global race where practices are no longer as different from one country as the others. Like, before, in some cultures, women are forced to marry at certain age. But, now, women are getting more and more freedom to choose whom to marry or whether to marry or not. Thanks for your response!

i dont think its weird, unless you just want to be kissed for the sake of saying you've been kissed.if the right person hasn't come yet then he/she is definitely ,most probably knocking at your door. if he ain't , give me a ring , id be honored to be your first kisser :-)

Being single is not bad. You do not need to be loved,You have brains in your head.
Of all the people you will know in a lifetime, you are only one and will not loose. Being single at 30, wow! cool.

I don't think it's weird.I think being single is a blessing.you don't have to be answerable to someone.you can enjoy lots of time to do things you want.what is weird for me is when you are 31 yet you are still living an unstable life (in between jobs,no investments,etc.).but being single at 31 is completely ok.there isn't any law that states that by your 31,you should be in a relationship.

i dont know... i beleive its not... your not the only person who is single at 30.. think of it as a blessing.. God has prepared you for someone better that you think...
when i was in college and was a member of NBSB (no boyfriend since birth), i was worried i might become an old maid.. waaaahhh... i had guys who asked me out though but i rejected..
i know somebody who is single even at her 40s, and another got married at 50...
just pray for that man.. and you'll be surprised...

hahah...I had this funny Korean student before who told me that in their place, a woman over 25 who is not married is considered an old maid. I did not quite agree because I, too, have seen women who married at age 30 and up. They actually say that, it is, indeed a blessing to marry at a later age when you're stable - financially and emotionally.
Yeah, but I guess for picky girls, there aren't too many "qualified" men to suit our fancy :)

Yes it is WEIRD. Because each one of us at some point in our lives had this opportunity to be asked and be loved. It's a matter of choice

Hmm..given that weird means being different from the majority, maybe, it is really by choice to be so. Because, rightly so, there are the opportunities, but it is for us to decide on them.
