I (24F) have never been on a date. My lack of experience did lead me to get into a not so great FWB situation about a month ago, but aside from that I have zero experience. I would like to try and get into a committed relationship, even if it doesn’t last long due to life being busy and a bit chaotic. I’m quite extroverted and I don’t really have any issue making new acquaintances when I’m out and about, but I’m not really sure how to turn that into a romantic pursuit. I also don’t really experience physical attraction at first sight. I need to develop an emotional connection with someone and then the physical attraction comes later.
I’d be really happy to get any advice, learn your personal experiences, or maybe get some insight into strategy. I really would like to experience mutual love at some point, but I don’t know where to start or how to build something healthy.
Edit: an ongoing issue I’ve always had is that people are interested in me… for sex. I want more than just sex.
