Obviously, the people who dated someone at 19 who they subsequently broke up with is more likely to regret that date. And then there are the people who are still with the person they dated at 19.

Although I guess it is true for me that my worst dating decision was somewhere around 19: I didn't make any effort to date anybody, and now that I have no dating experience at age 33, that ship has now sailed without me.

I'm not qualified to give anyone dating advice, I was single until I was 28 and then fell in love — I still have 0 dating experience.

The only way I can describe it is by brute force. I put myself in bars, hated it. Clubs, same thing. I didn't even meet my now girlfriend by anything other than random chance, and I was just about ready to give up had I not literally bumped into her.

Point being, get into the real world. Take walks, work out, live your life the way you want (just spitballing, this is not a formula). Naturally you will find others who seek to live their life the same way. Whether you make something of it or not is up to you.
