Is it normal that ive never had a girlfriend and im 18?

im an 18 year old male and ive been thinking a lot about my virginity lately. the thing is that im only getting older and older and ive just been watching all my friends get into relationships while i stay single. my friends and family have been telling me for years now that im gonna find someone and it just hasnt happened. another thing that bothers me is fact that just got my first kiss last summer but thats it we didnt go any further. so am i normal

    Don't worry, it's normal. I have kissed a few people, but I've never been on a date or much less had a relationship with anyone. It does worry me slightly. All of my friends have had relationships and then there's me. When I was in my early-mid teens most of my friends had been in relationship. This really bothered me Then, but now, not so much. I've realised that I shouldn't give up hope or stress out about it. Eventually, I'll find someone for me and so will you.

    I sujest you watch the 30 year old virgin with steve carrel in it. It's very inspiring.

    It's very much normal. You'll probably thank yourself later. Especially when you get older and everyone else around you seems pushed into relationships they weren't ready for because of things like sex.

  • Honestly, for me, it isn't normal. I have been dating since 6th grade. The first girl I held hands with was in kindergarten and my first kiss was in 6th grade. I have been with so many women, its ridiculous. I'm not trying to gloat either, im just being honest. There is nothing to be afraid of really.
    i have finally met the perfect girl for me. I'm not much older than you either, so just go for it man. For all we know, we only live once, so make the most of it!
    Good luck!

    No offense to you OP, but I'm really tired of seeing these kinds of stories. I'm 19 and I don't give a flying f*ck if I die a virgin and neither should you. Just because you feel pressured from society 'because everyone is doing it' or 'your friends have a girlfriend or boyfriend' does not mean that you have to. Just saying.

      Agree!

      People losing and wanting to lose their virginity is just overrated in my opinion. People really don't look past the sex/lust these days. Come on, don't you want to have someone to love and "actually" love.

      I'm not saying sex isn't great though.

    Being single just works better for some people. I always say there are fighters and then there are lovers.

  • Never had a girlfriend, never had a "proper" kiss, and I'm a virgin. I've never looked for a partner, and the only reason I would want one is to have a child, which I don't plan on having for a while now.

      What reason would you have for wanting a child if you didn't also want a partner? Just to continue the family name or something?

      • Continue the blood line. My want for a child will make me want a partner, and I will try to keep it a real family setting, a father, a mother and the child. If I see a rise in single mothers, then I might just adopt, I'm won't risk having my child taken away from me justbecause the other person is the mother.

          I can understand that. It's good that you want to keep a family setting for the child. Too many children now days don't have that...
