I'm 18 and I've never had a boyfriend or been kissed
80% Normal
10 Comments

So, I turned 18 in May and I remeber I always thought that for the time I was 18 I would have a boyfriend but I don't. I just tend to avoid the topic because nowdays the fact that you have never been kissed at 18 or had a boyfriend makes you the most strange creature on earth. I used to be so depressed about this when I was younger but now I don't feel so as bad about it, I still want a boyfriend and someone that considers me special but I have learned not to blame myself for not having that special person. However, I can't help thinking that I'm missing an important part of being young. I'm not a geek, I'm a normal girl I have good friends but I guess I don't have a chance to meet new people. My group of friends is very closed and I don't hang out much with them nowdays because they drink and party too much and I don't drink and prefer other type of plans. I started college two days ago so I hope this is a fresh start for me. I guess that the best thing to do is to value the nice things I have, and I'm positive the right guy will come.
Do you think it's normal?

wow that's great to hear i am 25 yrs old man , but i had never kissed or had a girlfriend till now.


it is normal my friend you will get your MR. Right soon..


but just wait for the right moment

hmmm i am also searching for a good girl to be my girlfriend forever.
You should be happy! You haven't been used by some jerk off for his own sexual pleasure and you haven't been emotionally abused so that he could get there! Even if you go through college without a boyfriend (which I doubt) you will be better off than the 99% of young women who lose their virginity to jerk offs!
I think you just haven't met the right guy for you, I'm very close to 18 and I haven't had a girlfriend. This is because I haven't met the right girl for me too. This may not seem as bad as "Divx99"'s case but we all know how fustrating this can be.

Wow stop right there are u dumb or something! Do you really think that a wonderful guy is just going to stroll into your life! God u live in a dream world! Sorry but its up to u! U have to go out and meet that someone special! Plus now you are eighteen be adventurous go clubbing with those friends! Do it or u will end up old and alone with a lot of cats!
Don't be hurry about that. The first time I kissed I have 19 years old (It was 1 month before I turned to 20), and he is being my boyfriend since that. And I'm 23. And I went to college... and I don't like to party too much or drink. You will find the mister right for you.
I also recently turned 18 and am in the same boat. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one.
if you want to find someone the easiest way is to either get involved in a few clubs or go to some of your friends parties you dont have to party all the time but you should get out sometimes this way you could meet your mr right
omg! i have hat same prob. i too kinda lost my friends i had had for like 8 yrs, because of getting older, and they wanted to do things that regular teens do, such as drink, smoke, sex...etc. but i was like thats not me, and im not interested in any of that stuff, so we kinda lost contact. and for some reason i cant find any guys that are interested in a girl like me, i guess what you would consider a "goody 2 shoes", but i just see it as i respect my body, and dont feel as tho i need to do those things to have fun! idk, maybe one day someone will appreciate girls like us. and boys too. hope you find that rite person for you tho. as for now, i've actually become content being without a bf. its never really been a priority to me tho, but maybe one day i'll find someone too.
Although I'm a guy, I match everything in your summary. i dunno if it's less acceptable to be aguy in this situation than a girl, but nevertheless, it bothers me from time to time. I'm quite reserved most of the time, but I endevour to be friendly, generous and tolerant of those around me. I find most girls quite intimidating, usually because they're always in a group!! When I do meet and get chatting with a particularly nice girl, I usually hit bad luck and later find out she's already in a relationship. I get v nervous about actually getting with a girl these days, because I feel the pressure and I've built it up in my head to be a bigger issue than it actually is. I try not to make it a priority, but I do worry it won't happen. I turn 20 in a few months and I think the pressure will only get worse. However, I do thank myself that I haven't had a terrible experience (although i do worry about that in the future!) and have a healthy expectation of women and am not thinking about sex all the time. I just carry on and hope I'll meet the right girl one day :)

Hopefully we'll both find a way!

Good luck
I didn't have a boyfriend until I was 18; and now that I look back upon it, he wasn't so great of a person. It's good that you haven't been boy-chasing like so many young women these days. Just keep your standards high, and enjoy the time you have to improve yourself and grow. Someone will come along eventually.
