Listen, I am 30 now. Not too old, still missing plenty of experiences in life. But I know what stuff I do not like, and I won't force myself to try and like them.

I hate sports, I tried liking it, did not work out (heh pun intended).

I hate cooking, I try it every other day, I will never like it.

Its okay not to like things.

In order to be sure you don't like something you have to try it a number of times before you can sure you dislike it. But its also important to assess what you dislike about it to ensure its not peer/societal pressure based or other potential assaults on the self rather than core to you.
