For example, I’ve been single for 8 years. In my case it’s more extreme because that also includes no dates, hookups, or anything romantic at all.
I’m curious how people genuinely perceive that. Is it seen as a red flag, neutral, or does it depend more on the reason and the person?
I ask because employment gaps often make employers wonder ‘why didn’t anyone else choose this person?’ and I wonder if dating psychology works similarly.
