im 30 with no university degree and have never had realtionship. i dropped out of uni in my early 20s and took a job at a warehouse instead. got lucky and switched to a less phyically demanding job, though still a somewhat dead end working class job. applied to university now and will start a 3 year program in a field i think will be interesting for me. im a runner and always put running and training in front of social life. tried dating (online) for the first time in my life after turning 30. before that, ive never felt even close to starting any sort of romantic relationship, and looking back it feels wierd that it didnt bother me until now. anyway, im trying to make a change now, its a bit scary and uncomfortable, but it feels fun and exiting at the same time. i believe i have a few walls to climb in the future.
