Ready for marriage but completely inexperienced at 25, anyone else?

Hi, i am 25 and have never like ever been in a relationship also never texted a guy or anything. Sometimes i feel like i am so behind especially when i look at my muslim friends who are younger and do have spoken to men with intention to get married. I feel like i am now ready to open up to get married inshAllah but i just don’t know where to start and how to meet someone and i am not a fan of datingsites. What can i do in this situation as i do want to complete a big part of my deen and grant my parents grandkids. Maybe i have been too focused on my studies, as i am currently still on my masters degree? I also feel so inexperienced and am afraid because i am already 25 so i feel a bit embarassed. Other then that i do am very happy in my life and content with all i have achieved Alhamdoulileh but i am just a bit stuck i think in that aspect of my life, any advice? Thanks!!

Background info: i did grow up in a non muslim all white village&school what made it a bit harder to open up when i was younger
