I am craving a relationship - is it normal?

I am 18. Never been in a relationship or done anything intimate with a guy.
Recently, I have been wanting to be in a relationship...not desperately...but I just want someone to be there. The thing is, I am really shy and I just seem to not find anyone I am interested in. And if I do, they are in a relationship.
I don't know if it's because all my close friends are in relationships but I do feel lonely sometimes. Like my friends just seem to be happy in their relationships and I just feel like I am missing on that "young love" that every teen experiences.
Is it normal to feel this way?

    Um... I guess its normal but honestly if your lonely your going to put out a negative vibe that isn't going to help you need to find a way to be happy with yourself and then your chances will be better.

    Are you only looking for guy that are your age or are you open to guys a bit older?

        I'm a little older than you and I've found I need at least 5 years older and about max 10 years or I just can't take the immaturity of guys younger than that. You get maturity and alot more stability. Sure they can't cum 8 times a night anymore but the quality of the intimacy is so much better than the quantity.

        You are in better shape than you think; shyness can work in your favor. You see, getting attention at parties is not really about being pretty or flirting voraciously, it's about signaling AVAILABILITY.

    I would never say it's not normal to want someone to cuddle up with, I wanted it at 18-20.

    I think having that mentality though (especially when you're very young) you are setting yourself up to fail. Most people under 30 are just enjoying being young and un-attached, having casual dates, building careers and friendships, travelling maybe. It's just not a time when most people are interested in getting very settled in with someone.

    It's not to say you CAN'T find a relationship, sure some young people do it. But I think, at this point anyway, it's much healthier to just have some light-hearted dates, get a feel for what you like, don't get too attached.
