It’s a uhhh, metaphor. Not actually about housing but about being forced to learn a new skill (in this case, dating.) The more common expression/metaphor would be “thrown into the deep end.”

I’d already moved out of the house by that point but unless you’re really rich or lucky you’re probably still fairly reliant on your parents. Most people these days aren’t getting their own place until their mid 30s

It says right in there that they’re 22.

Text says they’re 22. It’s not an insubstantial age difference but definitely worth a whirl IMO despite the dad’s condescending tone.
