Is it normal that i don't believe in love but i want to?

Well I'm 17, a virgin, and never had a boyfriend. I'm 5"2 and 115 lbs and have dark ash blond hair.
Now it all started when I was younger and I thought a boy liked me just as much as I liked him. In the end he told me he thought I was fat and he would never like someone like me. Ever since then I don't believe in love, but I want to believe one day a kind strapping young man will come and sweep me off my feet... But that has yet to happen and I don't know why, I have even recently lost a good amount of weight to enhance my looks. All my friends they would love to look like me, but nobody as is men, thinks I'm pretty... Is there something wrong that I'm doing? I wanna be loved but I don't believe it exists because well people used to be very mean to me... Is there anything I could do to enhance my chances of finding love???

Is It Normal?

  • Dont look for love. Love will find you when its ready. Go to church and find you a churchboy. they are the best kind! Very faithful, kind, and usually well mannered. But dont force it. You've got your whole life to love. Focus on school, finish it. And become independent. Nothing better than a independent woman.

  • I think all you ladies need to grab like 12 gallons of iced cream, pop in some dumb chick flick, and cluck amongst yourselves about all your lost loves.

    Jesus.

  • I am 26 and I have never been in a relationship. you should not worry about it, you are way too young for being obsessed with the idea of not finding love.

    you will eventually find someone who loves you, but first you need to learn to love yourself more than you do.

  • You sound attractive :) but honestly most guys are total jerks! I have dated so many guys and every single one of them was a scumbag. I would love to believe in true love but I just can't. Hopefully you will be lucky enough to find it! Just watch out for guys using you so you don't get hurt in the end.

  • Love finds you when you are not seeking it. You reach out to have fun, and explore what you really enjoy doing, and then most likely you will find someone that enjoys that also. Love usually soon follows.

  • I didn't have a boyfriend until I was 20 as well. I think I had the same mind set as you when I was your age. First of all, you need to decide if you "wanna be loved" or that it doesn't exist. It can't be both. You need to be open to it but not seek it out as previously stated. Also, don't let one jerk ruin your mind set on love. If everyone let that get to them, love would go extinct. lol

  • well first of all ur still young. so i knw ur probably tried of hearing this, but u have plenty of time to find love. i know some ppl make it look so easy to be in and find relationships. the best thing i can tell u is to stop seeking it out so hard. be on the lookout for it, but trust me. Love will find u, it just waiting for u to turn ur back to it so it can pounce.

    p.s. i did have a real leget relationship till i was 20 and stopped looking for it.
