Question Posted Wednesday October 26 2005, 8:06 pm
I'm 16 and I've never been in love. I'd just like to know if anyone else out there has ever been in my position, because I really feel alone. All of my friends throw around the word "love" after having a 2 hour bf/gf relationship. But, I'm scared when I'm older that I won't ever have that one person to wake up and want to be with everyday! It like scares me. Had anyone else been in my position?
bigJ2009 answered Friday October 28 2005, 3:58 pm: its okay some people just take a while to find that right one......thats why girl dates alot because they dont know if "he" is the right one, you just got to put yourself out there try hanging out with girls, call them and ask them random questions, tell them what u think of them after you've hanged out with them alot!! or even ask their best friend what she thinks of you!! hope that helps [ bigJ2009's advice column | Ask bigJ2009 A Question ]
angelndisguys answered Friday October 28 2005, 12:57 am: Calm down sweety you're only 16. I'm 20 almost 21 and have never had a boyfriend or been kissed for that matter. The most important thing is not to obsess over it because the more you do the less likely it will happen. Focus on other things and remember most importantly that you have the rest of your life for that. Enjoy being 16 while you can because you'll look back a few years from now and wish you could have it back. You're so young. It will happen one day trust me. If I haven't given up hope yet then you surely shouldn't. Hope that helps!!! [ angelndisguys's advice column | Ask angelndisguys A Question ]

BeautifulMadness answered Thursday October 27 2005, 10:30 am: Me! I know exactly what you mean!
I hate it when people say 'I love you' so soon...they evidentally don't mean it!! I am sixteen in just under a week and I have never been in love either, in fact I don't think I've even LOVED anyone (other than platonically). To me loving and being in love are two very different things as well. I am a firm believer that you should never say 'I love you' until you are absolutely 100% sure that you do...so many people need to learn the difference between holding hands and falling in love!
You will find someone to fall in love with eventually. You have your head screwed on and there will be many guys (I am assuming you're a girl) who appreciate that. Right now though, they're just immature and petty. Don't give up - you will find someone you cna really love soon! [ BeautifulMadness's advice column | Ask BeautifulMadness A Question ]
xRoOxiSxBlOnDex answered Thursday October 27 2005, 10:03 am: First of all, it's SMART that you aren't / haven't been saying you love everybody that you like, or date. That's intelligent of you. And if you haven't been in love, don't worry! It'll come eventually, and you'll be glad that you waited to have those special feelings. Good luck!

lulabelle answered Thursday October 27 2005, 1:40 am: My boyfriend didn't have his first girlfriend until he was 25. He is one of the most amazing men I have ever met. He has had some of the most beautiful women fall head over heels in love with him. I guess what I'm saying is...don't worry so much about it. It will happen a lot quicker if you relax and just let it happen when it happens. You see, one of those murphy law things is a watched kettle doesn't boil. As long as your worrying about it it won't happen. what I'm about to say is a hard concept to get, but, here goes. When you worry and stress yourself about something people pick up on this. They see you are stressed and perceive you as uptight. People don't want to be in a relationship with someone whom they feel is uptight. This repells people. Relax, don't worry about it. Know that it will happen. Work yourself up a group of friends who are periodically in and out of relationships or single like you and go to the movies. Do things together. Enjoy life. When you are enjoying life most and you have that special light that is within you shinning through...they will be there.

irishgal000 answered Wednesday October 26 2005, 10:23 pm: I'm not exactly in your position, as in age wise, but a lot of people in my grade are dating and I have never been in love or dated at all. I'm waiting for that perfect guy. My time will come, so will yours. You just have to be patient. As for your friends, as I said, a ton of people in my grade are dating as well and all my friends are affected by it, but they don't talk about it too often because there are people like you and me who has never been in love. If you want make a joke out of it..in a good way. My advice it be patient......again like i said, your time will come. [ irishgal000's advice column | Ask irishgal000 A Question ]
Razhie answered Wednesday October 26 2005, 9:24 pm: At 20 I had never told anyone I loved them. I had had several long term relationships but had explained that that word was very important and weighty to me and I wont use it lightly and would appreciate if they didn't either. None of them did.
Fear is normal but your patience wont be for nothing. The only difference between you and your friends is that someday you will wake up beside someone who shares your feelings of the importance of the word love. Putting that kind of value and energy into your relationships won't hinder you, it will help you to find a partner like you. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
metawidget answered Wednesday October 26 2005, 9:13 pm: At 16, I'd never really been in love. It took me seven more years to pull together a good attempt and eight to run across my present beloved, but it was worth it. It took a couple of months from first meeting for me to be sure enough of love to tell her, and even then it was important enough that it was terrifying. One thing I've learned since then, is that the word "love", being out at the end of a spectrum, will probably need to be redefined — ratcheted up — even if you're careful about it, after a while with the right person.
The prospect of a life alone is a little scary, but not so bad. It's usually when you're OK with that that you get surprised by someone really worthy of spending the rest of your life with. [ metawidget's advice column | Ask metawidget A Question ]
cjAdvice answered Wednesday October 26 2005, 8:46 pm: Hey im not 16, but every person is different, and you will adventually fall in love. Dont worry, alot of people dont fall in love untill they are 18-26 you just havent found someone yet! I hope this helps you out ,
HectorJr answered Wednesday October 26 2005, 8:35 pm: Hmm. I think I can almost relate. Don't even worry about that now. You are relativley young, probably going to live to what, 50-70? Nobody said that you have to be in love while you are in high school, or find your significant other this early. Really, how many people find a relationship in their highschool years, and then stick with it for the rest of their life? I'm guessing its not too many.
Is there something wrong with you because you have not been in love or been loved? No of course not. I consider that a plus: your friends and special someone will value you to be of the few who are...I guess you could say 'good'. No thats never a bad thing. I actually respect that, and not the 13 year olds who go as far as pregnancy and stuff. I mean, I was in the position where I was always asking myself: why not me? why don't I get a share in this whole 'love' thing? Don't give up hope - after so many years of waiting, it did pay off for me. Good things come to those who wait. Hope that helped and good luck. [ HectorJr's advice column | Ask HectorJr A Question ]
fall_to_pieces answered Wednesday October 26 2005, 8:24 pm: its not something to worry about
there is someone out there waiting for you right now, asking the same questions and wondering the same thing.
i know that people say that they 'love' their bf/gf but it is not really the love that you seek. it is more than a friendship love and that is why it doesn't last that long, if you know what i mean.
i have never been in love and i am almost 17. i don't think its something that i should worry about, even though i do. it is a thing that all people ask.
love is right at your doorstep, it is just waiting to be let in
hope i helped [ fall_to_pieces's advice column | Ask fall_to_pieces A Question ]

MissJessicaPaige answered Wednesday October 26 2005, 8:11 pm: Your so young most people think they are....i'm smaller than you are and all of my friends that have boyfriends or girlfriends they're like 'i love you!' but it just sounds better than saying 'i like you sooooo much'. you'll have someone i know you will,...dont worry there's so many people out there and i know you'll get lucky and find the perfect or not so pefect person that you'll fall in love with...;) [ MissJessicaPaige's advice column | Ask MissJessicaPaige A Question ]
Vendetta answered Wednesday October 26 2005, 8:07 pm: Yes, I have. It is better to be that way then to think that every school-girl-type crush is "love" in my opinion. Plus, most people haven't felt "real love" by the age of sixteen. [ Vendetta's advice column | Ask Vendetta A Question ]
