Instead of stressing about our relationship history, we're here to chat with Sydney Lotuaco about how she ended up engaged to her first real partner at 30 despite her past relationship inexperience. We discuss trying everything from being on the apps to being on the Bachelor (spoiler alert: this isn't where she met her fiancé), the struggles that come with being a late bloomer and losing your virginity "later in life", and how you can recognize a good thing when you see it even without having other relationships to compare it to.
