+1 yIm 16 also. I have had many boyfriends.
Just let me say that sometimes I wish I was like you. Innocent.
I'm ashamed of how many I've had. I'm so young. but mind you, I've never done ANYTHING sexual. That's my rule. It's never worked out because guys want those things, and I'm not willing to do any of it.
So my simple solution is that I feel that guys would LOVE it if you aren't experienced having a boyfriend. It makes it easier.
Ex. You and your future boo could discuss past relationships.
Often that leads into huge, ugly arguement.! [[less stuff to worry about]]
But you also have to watch out because some guys are dogs and they take advantage of the fact that you don't kno what it's like having a boyfriend.
They could treat you like poo, and make it seem as if it's normal when it really isnt.!
Dont be in a rush either though.! Stay sweet and innocent for as long as possible.
I kno that being single can make you want to go out and just find any ol body, and call them your bf.!
Set your standards high, and keep them that way.! Good Luck.!20 Reply

+1 ytake it as a blessing that you are single.
i started dating my ex at the end of my freshman year of high school and we didn't break up until the end of my freshman year of college...yeah we broke up a lot but that's when we broke up finally.
its so hard to keep a relationship going plus school and afterschool activities and friends...
also at 16, you definately get your emotions mixed up...one of my friends just turned 16 and "falls in love" with every guy she dates...and that's keeping her from getting a good guy cause they all think she's too "clingy"...
but I'm 20 and I HATE dating...its too much work...
so feel blessed...the right guy will come when he's ready :)00 Reply
+1 yGod, not at all. You're so young. What age are you supposed to get asked out? Like 9 1/2? No hun. You're not weird and there is nothing wrong with you. I didn't get asked by a guy until I was 18. And I guess I'm attractive because I'm a model. And not getting asked out doesn't mean that guys don't want to. With your age guys are shy and scared and embarrassed and terrified of rejection. They are horrible at expressing their feelings.

many guys (such as myself) won't ask you out, because they know its illegal (im 20, ur 16)... its also probably that you're looking in the wrong places...if you are, then maybe ur putting out a bad vibe, I dk, I'm not around u, so its hard to tell, haha, being 16 and never have been asked out, is more of a good thing than a bad thing, just because ur not viewed as (even if you didnt/dont have sex) slutty. also, it looks bad when youve been through a lot of relationships because it makes it look like you can't stay in one for the long run
age is just a number, and a mindset, if you don't let it get to you, then you're on the right track, you will find someone in due time, but trust me when I say this, me being 20 and all, try to stay young and innocent as long as possible (youll probably read catcher in the rye) soon, you might like it00 Reply
+1 yAbsolutely not! My wife went on her first date at age 20... most guys will like the idea, that you haven't been screwed over by another guy and that you will be more open minded. (and no, I don't mean that in a sexual manner.)
You probably need to figure out why guys aren't asking you out. Are you sabotaging potential guys... do you have some really bad habit? Ask some girlfriends what you are "doing wrong" (understanding that it is quite possible that you haven't found the right guy yet, and you might not be doing anything wrong at all.
I wish you the best.

16 is still very young, in fact aren't you in 10th grade? Most women don't get into relationships until college. Only a small percentage start to really date in high school. Besides, it's better to wait because you're more mature to deal with dating.

+1 ygirl id tell you right now,10 years from now when you have more experiences about relationship,been or have hurt someone already...YOUWILL soo wish you are 16 again when you did not have boyfriends..
thast all id say...its really tough tough days when you're heart is down so beware and research more before you get to dating...10 Reply
+1 ynot weird at all. I think the little middle school relationships are really stupid.
i got my first boyfriend this year in may and I'm 15 and turn 16 in june. my boyfriend is 17 almost 18. he's home schooled and is very repectful. I'm only his second real girlfriend.
waiting for the right guy is def worth it.
dont say yes to some guy askin you out just because you wanted a boyfriend.11 Reply- +1 y
Yes, def do not say yes because you want a bf... it ends up sucking majorly- speaking from experience, seriously
+1 ythere are 25 year olds in your position. you're really young. I don't get why 16 is suddenly too old to be boyfriendless. what the hell happened? back when I was growing up, 16 was the year you JUST started dating. I don't know why things changed so quickly
12 Reply- +1 y
Yeah, I wasn't allowed to start dating until I turned 16... I didn't even feel I was missing anything! lol
- +1 y
Exactly! kids are in such a rush these days. if you haven't kissed by 6 years old, you're a loser or something, haha. relax! live life and get to know yourself before you try and fall in love.
+1 yI was 21 before I was asked out on a real date. I'm not saying that every guy will be totally okay with you not having dated before, but not every guy will have a problem with it either. You just have to find the right kind of guy, which can take some looking, but it's possible.
10 ReplySweetie, its not weird at all. I didn't get kissed till I was 18. And I am glad I waited for that long because the guy that kissed me first, we still are "together" in a way. but that's another story. It is best for you to wait, because you wouldn't want to rush into something anyways. Don't worry you will get your chance. :) Best of luck.
00 Replyno it is not at all chica! lol I am 16 and I just got asked out this year. Have you tried talking to any guys you are interested in? I am the shy type so it was difficult but I eventually told my boyfriend I had feelings for him. Your prince Charming will come eventually :)
00 Replywait, you're asking if its weird? Hell no! If they did, then what am I?! Chopped liver? Spinster? God, I'm 20 and I've never had any BF's and no guy had asked me out, too despite this look and sharp wits. Girl, if you think there's something wrong with it or if guys see something wrong with it, then I must be INSANE in their eyes. If that's the case, then I guess that must mean the world will crumble if people still have integrity, dignity and self-respect.

+1 yseriously, you're ONLY 16. you have all the time in the world
I got asked out when I was 17 or maybe you don't know a lot of guy friends
make guy friends or ask your friends if they know anyone who wants to go on a date or something , if they know a guy who's looking for a girlfriend
don't worry about it, I'm sure you'll find the one for you
^_^00 Reply hey, I'm also sixteen and never had a boyfriend, the only difference between us was that I have been asked out .. but were still young and we still have a long way to go. don't worry about it I'm sure there will be guys asking you out and no it's definitely not weird. and just enjoy your life being single, hey that's what I'm doing right now
00 ReplyI don't think its ever weird never to have been asked out regardless of what your age is.
if you want a boy friend and never ask any guys out you might seem very shy, but lots of people are shy, so that's not really weird.
not having a boyfriend by the time your 16...not weird at all imo.00 ReplyNope. if they are attracted to you they will ask you out. I did not date until I was 20. I was shy but as soon as I came out of my box I found out many girls liked me but thought I was just not interested in them. Some of us are slow at picking up on the signals.

+1 yits definitely not weird at all. You can't force these things. What happens a lot of the time is when you're looking for a boyfriend you won't find one, but as soon as you stop looking and caring he'll come along. Don't worry about it :)
00 Reply
+1 ynope. happens to plenty of ppl. all the time. I didnt' have my 1st boyfriend til I was 17, and, prior to him, I'd been asked out a whopping total of once, as a joke. yeah... anyway, its all good, most guys won't care. :D
00 Reply1.1K opinions shared on Flirting topic. Perfectly normal, and you should not be worried at all. High school is too precious to be thinking about who hasn't dated you or if you've been asked out. Enjoy it. Boys will come sooner or later.
10 Replyno absolutely no. I was 19 when I was 1st asked out. there's no set age for these things. just let things happen at their own pace, don't rush it because then you'll probably end up in a situation that you aren't happy with.
00 Reply
+1 yNO! Its completly normal. Don't rush into anything or somthing like that just because of this. I know people who are 25-30 and just got their first bf/gf. Its a lot more common then you would think.
00 Replynah its not wierd. if it is then I would be even wierder than you. I'm 18 and have never had an actual girlfriend. but I've heard of older and its not wierd. Someone will find you, don't worry :)

+1 yHell no-- tons of people aren't asked out by then. Some people wait til college, and that's totes cool. Whatever works for you.
00 ReplyYou're 16 relax, besides what would you want to be wasting time with a dumb 16-18 year old guy anyway, don't get desperate.
00 ReplyIve never been asked out...im 20...lol anyways I don't think its an issue hon...wait for the right guy right time will b soo much funner if you do...

Anonymous(36-45)+1 yIve always been pretty well liked. I'm actually really pretty. I didn't have my first kiss til 17 and boyfriend til18. Id say you are fine. Don't stress about it. When you are ready you will start taking more chances and guys will start taking notice. Just stay true to yourself and what YOU want, not what any guy wants.

Maybe you impress them too much or you turn them down (a fame of "turning down" goes around too) Or you don't look at the right guys for you.
