So.. I havent ever had a boyfriend.
Ever, never been kissed.
I just really want a boyfriend.
I know everyone says, eventually I will find someone, and that I'm young.
Because there are a TON of people that have boyfriends and girlfriends at my age.
I've just been thinking, what is wrong with me?
I look decent, I care about people, I'm creative and artsy. Why cant I find someone?
Is it because my standards are too high?
I dont want to make them too low.
Has anyone ever felt like this?
And - I am quite happy.
I dont need a guy to make me happy,
its never healthy to need,
but to want is another thing.
So whats up?
[thoughtful answers please,
not stubborn arrogant cocky ones.]
There's nothing wrong with YOU. A lot of people think when they don't have a boyfriend, or haven't had their first kiss yet that there is something wrong with them. And sweetie, that is not the case at all. I'm sure you're a wonderful and beautiful girl, inside and out. Sometimes it just takes longer for some people to get their first boyfriend/first kiss. It has nothing to do with you. It's just how everything is planned out.
Lots of people your age haven't had their first boyfriend/first kiss yet, either. Don't think you're the only one, because you aren't. Everyone takes time for something like this to happen. Some get their first boyfriend when they're 12; others when they're 16 and some even only have their first boyfriend when they're 18-30. It just depends on the person and if they're ready or not. It doesn't really matter if you didn't have your first boyfriend, yet. You're only 16, hun. You have tons of time for boyfriends, believe me. But, I promise you in time, you'll find that special guy. You just have to give it some time. For now, enjoy being a teenage girl and having fun with your friends; you only live once.
