Is it normal to be 18 and never had a boyfriend!?

Okay, my problem says in the title! I have never ever been asked out, and said by a guy that I am pretty or hot! I have never had a boyfriend, never been kissed and so on...!I would say I am pretty not ugly! I am slightly curvy not fat as I am a size 10 uk!But i am very unusaul looking, as I have a nice caramel skin colour with thick brunette hair and i am 5ft3! I am not shy at all, I hang around with guys and girls. I am worried...why does no guy like me?? I always show interest with them even if I am not interested at all! I smile all the time and say funny jokes? I see guys checking me out why don't they say anything? Can you give me any advise?? :) I feel so out of it when my friends talk about what they are getting for Valentine's day and what they get up to and stuff! They all go on double dates! They ask me if I have had a boyfriend and I lie and say yes! Only a few friends know and they are really surprised! I get really down about this subject! Please help!!

    Guys get intimidated.... find a guy you actually like and go after him... that's what I did.. I met this guy 3 years ago and he absolutely hated me.. but I was like you, I was outgoing and flirty... I sometimes thought he liked me but could never tell... this past summer, I became really good friends with that guy and was still the same, outgoing girl I was and guess what? He's my boyfriend now ;D Go after a guy.. don't just sit around and wait for one to come by... that'll get you nowhere..

    why do we have to be in a relationship? if u just want to be in a relationship because other people tell you so, then its wrong!!!!

    and remember, when ur older, it will be so much better!!! everything will get better. one good relationship is worth more than a thousand lousy ones!!

      People don't try to be in relationship becuase people tell them to, they try to be in relationships because it's nice to be in a relationship and have boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife figure in one's life.

  • I wouldn't say they feel...intimidated, unless what I'm about to explain comes under intimidated. It seems to me that you're a very non shy away from things type of person, which is a good way to be, but alot of guys might be overthinking scenarios in which they ask you out, and since you're very upforward they see themselves being told no when they ask you to be with them in a relationship.

    I'm nineteen, pretty attractive in my opinion, I haven't been in a proper relationship, never properly kissed a female, nor have I actually asked anyone to be in a relationship. I hink there are quite alot of people out in the world and even on this site that probably are going through the same thing, some see it as something they must overcome, while others don't care much for it, they might have to deal with it later on in life. Don't feel as if it's something tragic, it just means that you're a late bloomer to this type of thing, just like many others.

    I really think you need to stop thinking about it so much. What, is there some law that says you have to have had [x] relationships by the time you're 18 or else you're not normal? I don't think so. If you have the time, please take a look at the relationships section of this site. You'll find lots of people just like you who are asking exactly the same questions. You'll see the answers are all the same.

    YOU ARE NORMAL.

    Just have fun and live your life. It'll happen when it happens. It sounds like you're pretty and outgoing with a sense of humor. Someone will inevitably come along and think you're the shit. Until then, don't worry. You're only 18!!!!

    One question. What does the female friends of yours think about your appearance? Ask them if you haven't done it yet, and tell them to be perfectly honest with their answers... Can you tell me that, please?

    Maybe if you were totally honest with those who know you that you've never had a boyfriend then they could help you. Honesty is key; loads of people meet partners through their friends helping them out, but yours probably don't realise that you'd appreciate help from them. At the very least they'd be more tactful discussing their V-Day plans around you if they knew. You'll be less down once your secret is out to all your friends because it'll seem like less of a burden.

    Also, is it possible that you seem "too friendly"? If you hang out with guys a lot they might see you as friendship not relationship material, so they won't bother to ask you out for fear of being friend-zoned by you. Other guys who see you flirting with guys will probably be put off you because they perceive there to be too much competition. They might even think you are a slut if you flirt with guys you don't even like.

    Maybe you should make the first move. In a conversation with a guy you like, cross your arms, and if he crosses his too, he's probably interested!

      Just going on my fairly good knowledge of the psychology of human body language; echoing back the movement of another person is normal; whether they are interested in you or not has no impact. Try this in a conversation with almost anyone and you'll be likely to see them copy you, in theory. Also, crossed arms is a sign of being closed off from you, i.e. not interested.

      Just sayain'.
