I'm over 30 and I've never dated a girl ever. I used to have a crush on one girl, but she rejected me when I confessed it. I also turned another girl down as I had no feelings for her. So, to my understanding, you need a mutual crush, which should be very rare, for love to work. But I see people get into a relationship all the time. How come? Are mutual crushes really that common?
