Yes, it correct Ross halted his dating life because of his career. In an interview with Cosmopolitan back in 2018, he confessed,

“For a long time, I made a conscious decision not to date. I think you need to take time to focus on yourself, especially in your early- to mid-20s. I wanted to be emotionally set and get my career going before I got into anything serious.

Butler has since established in the industry, so has his views on dating changed? It seems like the actor is more than ready to be in a relationship. In the same interview, he stated:

"I think I have a good foundation, and somebody I bring into my life could teach me things and help me branch out.”

Became An Actor Against the Wish of His Mother

Ross grew up in a household that prioritizes academics; thus, the thought of acting never crossed his mind. Like any other teenager after high school, he joined college. However, after spending one year at Ohio State University, he realized this life is not for him. Thus he dropped out of college and moved to L.A. in a whim.

After coming to Los Angeles, the 1.9 m tall actor worked as a D.J. and model for a living; however, he was yet to figure out what he will do in the future. It seems like fate wanted him to be an actor. On his birthday, one of his friends gave an acting course as a gift.

After the sucess of that show, many opportunities came rolling. He was cast as Zach Dempsey in "13 Reason Why" and  Reggie Mantle in "Riverdale." Both shows became a worldwide phenomenon and were renewed for another season.

Sadly, the filming dates of these two shows clashed, and he left Riverdale for "13 Reasons Why." He was replaced by Charles Melton in "Riverdale."
