Is it normal to not have a date at 17?
Probably a stupid question but It's been asked anyway. I cannot say that I'm physically attractive in the least, but I've heard from about everyone I know that I don't look totally repulsive. I've asked everyone, and I've never managed to make people hate me. I've never been fantastic in school but I've never failed either. I don't mean to took my own horn, but I'd like to imagine that I'm nice to just about everyone I speak too, and if I haven't been they won't let me know. And on top of all of this I am popular at school. It's easy for me to talk to just about anyone from any group and they won't immediately reject me. And thanks to this, I have many friends. But I'm still so fucking lonely.
All of my friends, and I do have droves of them, tell me I have no reason to be lonely because I have so many people to talk to. But I feel empty in an area right below my heart, and it aches whenever I think about never even going on a date before. Like, every single person I know has at least had some sort of relationship before or do now. Most of my friends have their boyfriends and girlfriends, and some of my friends even got together through their mutual friendship of me. My 10 year old sisters have boyfriends, which is too young, but that's when my peers started dating as well. I'm the only person I know who hasn't found anybody for them. Is this normal? And sorry in advance for this bitching I had to say it somewhere.
