I'm not sure why it would be considered reasonable unless one thought Jesus was supposed to be generic or assumed that everyone was married/dating back then.
Jesus did live the life of a human so there are no doubts regarding that.
However, the life of a human is not necessarily tied to the notion of love, romance, or sex.
Those aren't even requirements in our day so not sure why it would be for a time where men could have more than one wife and marriages were routinely arranged.
And to be clear, I'm not saying that Jesus wouldn't be involved in romantic endeavors, only the notion that he likely was or should be involved is a silly assumption to make and especially since any relationship would be temporary.
I disagree that the life of a human is not fundamentally tied to love, romance or sex, those things are a fundamental part of our nature.
I disagree with the notion that romance is a necessary component of humanity.
However, don't conflate things.
I never said that Jesus life was not dependent on love or relationships which is not the same thing as dating or marriage or sex.
However, I have no doubt that Jesus had the self control to keep it in his robe for 3 years since people do it all the time and especially when there is no evidence to support relationships routinely occurring prior to a marriage arrangement during that time.
