I can’t imagine missing out on potentially meeting someone more compatible. Can you really meet the most compatible person for you when you’re 20?

Perfect is the enemy of good. If you hold out for “perfect” you will be alone forever.

When I was 20 I was a very different person, I’m assuming that’s similar for others.

Bad assumption. Every human life… every experience is different for everyone. Your lived experiences is not sufficient to gauge ANY other life.

Some things you have to learn on your own.

This is a choice… and not a requirement.
