I have never had a girlfriend or did anything beyond go on a few dates and kiss a few women. From the way people put it, it seems like my 20s were supposed to be about getting experiences, being in relationships, learning how dating works, all that. So am I able to date around and have fun now that Im in my late 20s and make up for what I missed out on? Or do I have to focus on settling down and skipping all the fun and worthwhile moments?

Just date. If you find someone you want to settle down with, do that. Keep dating until you find your person, don’t put a lot of pressure on yourself
A lot of people nowadays don’t plan to settle down till mid thirties, it’s all about what you want, need, and feel ready for. Don’t feel ready to settle down? Don’t. Want to gain the experiences you didn’t have in your twenties? Do it! You’re still young, there’s no rush and no “Have to”
Dating is a chance to figure out what you are looking for. Some people do not need to date much to figure that out. There are people who married the only person they ever dated. There is no set rules so do whatever and when you run into the right person you will know it.
You can do whatever you want to (within reason) at any age you want. And it’s going to be hard to settle down if you don’t dedicate a little time to dating!
You do what makes you happy. Life is not a race.
