What's the not-PC answer for the minimum age to have a girlfriend?

I'm in my 20's. I've never had a girlfriend. I'm getting this subliminal feeling that it's a red flag just by the way people react when they hear I've never had a girlfriend.

The other day I was walking with some people I met, and I asked one of them if they were dating, and then another person was like "Have you dated before?", and I was like No, and there was this cold, awkward silence for a few seconds.

I feel really sad and what not, but I'm trying to keep my head high and keep my confidence up. I asked some friends about this but they were like "Nah you're good don't worry about it", but I know a lot of that is bullshit. Can someone please tell me the legit answer? Don't be politically correct please. Be real with me.

At what point are you fucked if you haven't had a girlfriend yet?

Analogy:

In college, people say you don't need an internship. You will be just fine if you are job hunting without an internship. But that's the "woke, feel-good, politically correct" answer. The raw hard truth is that your resume will go in the garbage can if you don't have one.

My question - At what point do I need an "internship" (gf) such that I can get a "job" (future gf's)? For an internship, it has to happen within college. What's the answer for dating?

Consider investing in a reliable ready reference you can pick up and study to better prepare yourself for engaging the opposite sex. I'd suggest that you get yourself a copy of Doc Love's "The System: The Dating Dictionary". Doc Love, also known as the late Tom Hodges, wrote a weekly advice column that's archive is mirrored on several sites and a podcast. While his media is a bit pricey, it's a solid foundation a guy can branch out from, but I would also suggest you review his advice column to decide if his view on dating and relationships is aligned with what you aspire for yourself. To save yourself a search, give this scribed link a gander to find out if his book is something you'd like to add to your library.
