I haven't had a crush in a long time. normal?

I'm a teenager (girl), supposed to have the whole raging hormones thing, but I don't have a crush on anyone.
I can't get past the 'I think he's quite nice/cute' stage.
I have had crushes before. I had one boyfriend when I was 12, doesnt really count I guess :). I fell in love with my best friend and he fell in love with me. We stayed that way for over a year, but he migrated and it all came to a sad halt. It's been more than 1 year. I think I'm over him but how come I don't like anyone. I'm alright with guys flirting with me, but if someone tries to get a little too close I feel sick. Like literally, I just don't want to go there because I'm not interested. I haven't been interested in anyone in a long time. I can care a lot about my guy friends but nothing more. Weird?

    I'm the same way. I feel awkward for not having a boyfriend when I'm a teen, but I can't find anyone exceptionally special. It seems like the guys I do get close to, end up liking me when all I'm looking for is a simple frienship, and I hate it.

    I feel as though I don't need a guy. Personally, I'm pretty pleased being independent, and I know that's intimidating for guys. Adults keep saying that I have my whole life in front of me to look for a guy, and I believe them, even though I wish I found him sooner. haha.

    I'm sure the same'll go for you, us girls have our whole lives ahead of us. [:

    It might not be because you're not over the guy you were with (although it may be that).

    I haven't had a crush on anyone that I knew in person for a year, but then again, I used to have really deep love for some guys. I liked a guy about 2 almost 3 years ago. We don't talk anymore, but I really loved him, even if we barely talked, I got pretty depressed when I never saw him. Now I still know I'd do anything for him, so I may not be over him, but I don't think about him much anymore. Sad that it took nearly 2 years to accomplish that, haha.
    Then I got my heart...sort of messed with by a girl, but that's a different story and the results still aren't clear.

    But I still haven't really liked anyone. In my mind, it's like that because no one is worth it. I don't think about the people I used to love when I'm looking forward, it's just that these people aren't smart enough, nice enough etc. So too for me, I can't get past the 'aren't they nice stage' (Some more than others).

    Actually my bad, I did see a girl last July while walking home, I said hey and we had the usual generic convo a guy has when he approaches a girl, I gave her my number, she whatsapped me the next day we talked, eventually I found out she's 3 years older than me. We hung out a few times but I'm not the kind of guy that breaks hearts for fun, she's keen on marriage and I was just looking for fwb (friends with benefits) ....it wasn't ideal for either of us. Good thing is there wasn't much time wasted about it.

    With that being said. Don't rush yourself into a relationship. If you're like me and you haven't seen a girl you fancied in quite some time, in your case a boy then don't panic. It's nothing bad at all.

    Lol I'm a boy , but I'm similar, I haven't had an actual crush or been into someone in almost a year. Since me and a girl I was seeing and talking to since late 2013 split up in the early part summer of 2015. She had a petty attitude constantly going on about unnecessary shit and I'm not a therapist to keep giving advice to someone that won't listen. But since then, I haven't actually seen a girl on social media or real Iife that I actually wanted to holla at and talk to. So yeah, in my opinion its perfectly fine. You'll soon probably see someone and fancy them, all in good time. Don't worry.

  • I think your problem is that your not over your friend. Like I like this guy he is my brothers bestfriend and wen he isn't at school it makes me sad I have liked him for like 2 years now and he has never had a girlfriend before
