Considering I’m 21 and haven’t dated I’d say yes lol.

According to my developmental psych class it actually used to be fairly abnormal, which is why you may see things implying that it is in movies. However, in recent years, people have started dating for the first time later in life, and is no longer uncommon to not have ever dated through college.

it is! everyone goes at their own pace and some people just don't have much interest in that sort of stuff I know plenty of ppl older than 21 who've never been in a relationship and they're all happy people and not lacking in anyway bc of it

Everyone has a different path. There’s no shame in that.

Personally I agree with the other commenters, though. Going at your own pace is what’s most important regardless of when it’s the average age to do something at.
