I am 17 and never had a boyfriend?

First of please no stupid comments! I'm 17, going to be a senior, and have never had a bf or had a guy interested in me. I don't consider myself "ugly", and I do cheerleading so I'm active and stuff. But, is this normal, all my friends have recently been getting boyfriends and I always feel lonely, none of my friends can do anything anymore because of their bfs. Do you think I'll ever have a bf, or get married I'm terrified of being lonely all my life, and what other things could I do without friends, since I'm bored and it's summer?

    I am 19 and turning 20 in August and havent had my first boyfriend yet. Its not strange or wrong at 17 that you havent got a boyfriend. Usually when your in your teens not many get boyfriends or girlfriends.

    People start meeting the one after school eduacation is finally over. You see at primary, junior and high school you see young couples, but have you found out that theres not that many couples? Only crushes happen and end quickly. Only a few from school stay strong, but not many.

    So your still 17 youve got many many more time to meet someone, it doesnt have to be during your school years. Maybe you will be lucky after graduating high school.

    Usually relationships start to begin when you get into adulthood. Another thing if you want to get a guy, go and join sports clubs or classes where you can meet and mix with all kinds of people, plus make so many friends. So think about that.

    You should not think too much about wanting a BF fast. Because if you keep thinking about wanting a boyfriend, the chances a low. So the best thing to do is, forget about all the boyfriend wanting thing and just enjoy life and do things you love. That way some day or you never know maybe next month you will bump into a nice guy. That usually happens when you forgot about all the boyfriend stuff.

    So the waititng game is the best, that way you will get your special guy. I am the same i am not thinking about the all boyfriend thing and just enjoying my usual life and waiting for the one to come along.

    So the waiting game is the best. If you worry or think too much about getting a BF you wont get one fast, instead you will take longer to get one. So forget about all BF stuff and just enjoy life and when you stop looking your special guy will come along.

    So dont worry.

    Hope i helped?

    I'm a 44 year old guy . I never had a girlfriend in high school ! I was suicidal !!! I had to wait until I was 18 or 19 to have a relationship !! & the first relationship I had was just sex !! The only way I can have sex these days is to buy a hooker !! I feel like absolute crap !! So don't worry - you're young !! You have your whole life ahead of you !!

    I had a car accident !! I was in a coma for 3 months !!

    I'm 21. I got married in June 2012 after I graduated in May 2012. I have 2 boys . one born in March of 2013 and one born in Jan of 2015. I'm a stay at home mom.

    OK. The reason for telling you that. Is all of that happened in a matter of 3 years. I love my husband and my boys more than anything in the world.

    BUT, I do wish I would have went to college to do something for MYSELF. Now me and my husband are in a financial crisis and I can't get a job that pays more than minimum wage.

    I'm asking you as an INTERNET friend. THINK ABOUT YOURSELF. You are only 17. Don't worry about what your friends have. Like you said, they can't do anything since they have boyfriends. But YOU are free to do whatever you want! Do for YOU. And I'm going to be COMPLETELY HONEST! I SO WISH, I would have waited to have sex for the first time. I wish I would have saved myself for my husband. You hold so much past regret when it comes to "ex lovers". Just be you and do for you. The right guy will come to you!!!

  • Ok, so education systems in America are different to Uk so let me explain something, in England we leave school at 16 and to basically 'less intelligent' go to college and the 'academic' go to sixth form. I go to the sixth form and I must admit that I am not a Virgin however I am very alone in that respect at sixth form, everybody is super intelligent and not interested in having sex or having a boyfriend they are more interested in ambition and going to university and having a career. Meanwhile in college it is a competition to see who can get laid, what I'm trying to say is - once you have left high school none of it matters, no guy in college is going to look and say 'not going with her she is a Virgin' but they might say 'wow a 4.0gpa that's hot' my advice stop worrying and focus on achieving and being ambitious because there's nothing attractive about a women with lots of notches on her belt but there is for women with a diploma in her hand

    First off there's nothing wrong being single. Don't let that bother you. You're just fine. You may be a bit intimidating to some guys because you're athletic and such. Get Involved more with coed activities and try to go out more.

    Be the best you that you can be and love yourself because if you dont, you won't know how to let anyone else love you.

    My advice is not to define yourself by whether or not you have a boyfriend.

    About half of the adults in America are single, You're perfectly normal in that respect.

    You're fine, You may need to find a hobby to occupy your time while your friends are chasing boys, but don't worry, you'll be fine.
