And my feeling are contradictive.
I'm happy with my other relationships and I'm never lonely, but man, I want sex. I want sex badly. I also want the emotional high of being love. I feel odd being 22 and have had only been in one serious relationship. I'm afraid of never getting married. I'm a women btw.

I don't find there is anything odd with being 22 and having only been in one serious relationship. I have female friends/relatives much older than you who haven't been in any relationships yet. That said, I can understand how after a break up you tend to miss the emotional and physical intimacy. An option that you have is to try casual sex, however I don't know if I'd really encourage it. Seems to me that sex is always best when you are in a committed loving relationship. There's just something about being in love with the person you make love to that is really special, most people find. A different option is that you take more time to learn how to pleasure yourself - to satisfy urges that are only normal for a human being - while taking time to get to know more men (or women - from the post I'm getting the sense you are interested in men but it was not 100% clearly stated) that you can date.

22? How many serious relationships would you expect to have? My nephew first started seriously dating at 24. He is 25 and is serious about his gf but she is his first. He is college graduate engineer and totally gorgeous. I know plenty of people who didn't have serious relationships until later! 22 is nothing!

Are you having trouble meeting someone you like? Are you shy? Do you show interest in guys or do you wait for them to show interest in you first?

I know how you feel, I'm almost 27 and never dated anyone. I'm not really looking for anything serious and it's not really the sex either, I just want to be able to connect with someone I'm attracted to.

I'm 30 and in my second serious relationship... I'm puzzled as to how many serious relationships one can have had at 22 when the word "serious" implies quite a good portion of time.


You have plenty of time, being alone forever is a far off possibility at your age, one you have ample amount of time to avoid.


Please don't drive yourself crazy by creating problems for yourself that essentially do not exist, do not exist yet, or do not even have to exist.


If you want to date, but find it hard, speak up about your challenges, who knows, someone may have some pearls of wisdom you'd find useful when implemented.
