8 Reasons You've Never Dated Anyone Before

- [Narrator] Hey, Psych2Goers.

Welcome back.

So, have you ever dated anyone?

If you haven't,

you may be thinking this is uncommon as compared to others,

but just because someone has dated

many people does not make them a relationship expert.

It just means they have more experience.

And experience doesn't always mean you'll have better odds

at a successful relationship.

Compatibility is one of the key ingredients

to a healthy relationship.

So, many may ask you,

"Why haven't you dated

so you can find your compatible match?"

Well, you have your reasons.

One, you know what you want.

You know exactly what you want in a partner

because you've experienced other types

of healthy relationships that set a good example.

It's not that you have incredibly high expectations,

or maybe you do, but many people simply know what they want

and aren't surrounded by the type of people they feel

they'd be compatible with for all sorts of reasons.

Maybe you're a homebody.

Maybe you want someone who likes certain things

and hold certain values,

but you're never around those types of people.

If you desire romance,

find a way to reach out to groups or communities

that do hold your values and interests and join them.

You never know when you might meet someone you'd match with.

Number two, you don't know how to flirt.

Many people are extremely shy.

Some are just extremely introverted

and don't seek as much social interaction.

But a lot of individuals simply don't know

where to begin with flirting.

Romance can be complicated.
