    You're fine. Most early dating is un-needed drama anyway. It's better to establish yourself first. I didn't start dating seriously until I was 23... I was married at 29... I don't think that's weird at all. Especially in youth, we want the approvals and affections of the opposite sex, and when that is lacking, we feel that we are somehow broken. That's really not the case. Since the maturity levels aren't there yet... especially for the guys... and hormones are in full bloom... dating in HS and early college can lead to some lifelong regrets...

    Instead of thinking you are missing out, just focus on doing what you love.. eventually you'll connect with someone who loves you for who you are and what you do.

    For some reason I found "I am decently pretty" kind of sweet :D

    That is normal. If you are waiting for someone who actually likes you for you and not materialistic, you're actually thinking better than most. I wish more people like you were around instead of becoming welfare, SSI or child support dependent mothers.

    I think it's totally normal, and that Vexorg is right about the unnecessary drama. It's really only a matter of time before you meet a guy who is mature enough to know what he really wants out of a relationship, and who will love you the way you deserve to be loved. You just have to wait for him to grow up -- most guys your age just aren't interested in the concept of a real, complex relationship with all of its nitty-gritties, and just as (I imagine) a guy wouldn't want to be some girl's boyfriend just because she wants to not be single, I imagine you wouldn't really want to be someone's girlfriend for the sole reason that he wants some girl to hang out and make out with.

    Don't worry. There's someone out there for everyone. I try to tell myself that all the time because just like you, I've never had a bf. I'm 21! I've gone out on dates but it never really turned into anything. I just figure they are the right ones, just not the right ones for me. With time, things work themselves out. Don't be discouraged. Keep living your life and good things will come eventually :)

  • That is totally normal. Just enjoy your friends like I do.

  • Its hard to say what you are doing, or more likely not doing, based on your post. The advice here is good. But I wonder have you met a guy that you find attractive? If not, broaden your circles. If so, what did you do to let him know?

    I'm 20 and have never had a real relationship either. I know a lot of people who haven't. It doesn't mean you're undesirable or that love is something you won't experience; it probably just means you're picky about who you fall for, and/or that you're somewhat shy and unassertive. It doesn't mean that great romance doesn't lie ahead.
