Is it normal that I've never been in a relationship?

I'm an 18-year-old girl and I've never been in a relationship... ever. I do well in school without being a "nerd", I take care of my appearance, and I do have a good group of friends, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. It's beginning to be embarrassing, especially since all of my friends have had boyfriends since they were 13. Is it normal that I've never been romantic with anyone at this age?
Do you think it's normal?

It's okay, don't be embarrassed, different people have a different relationship view on things.
You don't need to get a boyfriend, until you're ready for it.
You probably just have higher standards than most, or maybe you don't seem as approachable as other girls do.
Totally normal. You're probably just waiting for the right one to come along, so it will be extra special :)
Someone people Establish RelationShips After School during college and some even Start their RelationShips after College.. you just dont need to worry or hurry things up..
Some People*
psh screw that i'm 18 and a guy and in the exact same situation and i'm hella insecure but i know it'll come enough eventually xD
Its completely normal. you just need to think about what your waiting for, or maybe you have not found someone attractive enough to just step up to the plate and talk about it yet, everyone has a special someone out there. you'll find yours someday. Talk to guys (if you don't already) and see how you feel around them, you could ask how they feel about you too and you never know if something special will spark
Hey, so I'm the author... this is my first question so I'm not totally sure how this thing works.
Anyway thanks for all the feedback. I do socialize with guys, and have several close guy friends. There have been guys I've been interested in, but none seemed to share the same feelings. I guess there's not much I can do but wait. What really hit me was what Jen said about having high standards. This is definitely true, because I don't want to feel like I'm settling for just anyone. I guess I should try to be more open-minded, but then again, i can't force myself to be attracted or attract someone else. I've always been proud of my independence, but the lonely nights are really starting to catch up with me.
