This is Normal yes Do you have many dreams and thoughts and wishes and wants and Fantasies of wanting to know how things feel.

This is all normal to .. don't be in a hurry. .. I'm sure your Hormones are driving you crazy... be patient. This is the time to watch and listen to people around you and all the people you know that are in a relationship.

This is your moment to grow. By learning through others. By doing this and paying attention to there ups and downs. And there experience you might learn from them and not make the same mistakes as they have. .

. also don't be in a big hurry. Because. And I really hate telling you this but it is the true. Not unless you are truly blessed but your first. Second maybe third. Relationship. Will fail. Just because both are in such a hurry to feel something.

To prove to others that you are an adult. That you both mess up. And that's ok learn learn who you are first.. and set Boundaries on the way that you will be treated are allowed yourself to be treated and not be treated.


The moment you start a relationship who you are changes because you become a new different person and you will think you know everything. So remember this part. Andvremember who you are. Don't be in a big hurry to grow. This moment in time right now There is so much knowledge that you can gain or not.
By being in a hurry

Here's the other thing When I was your awe didn't have computers or phones so you have the whole world in your hands where I didn't I wish I would have...

There are app that uf you want to know something or experience it you can

I do a lot of role play. And in my day like I said we didn't have that..

So if you need to know something role play it out learn from it that wayvinsteadvof just jumping in to it in real lifecand then experience the heartvbreak

Playground handholding and chaperoned dates are beyond overrated
Trust me, at 17 you’re not missing anything


Your answer however is simple: socialize


You make friends you go out and eventually you meet guys who will make a move on you


You chose the one you like best
You date
You break up (because your first choice will likely suck)
You learn. You grow
And start again


If you’re lucky you chose well early and become “high school sweetheart” eventually getting married
But that’s rare

What would make you think it's NOT normal? Do you NEED a boyfriend to breathe or think for you? No... you're in school... Finish school and reach your potential.

[Ms_Facesitter]

Very normal don't worry about it :)
It's not about when you have a boyfriend. What matters is whether or not it's the right person for you.

[WhitneySnow]

Not weird at all. Some of my friends didn’t start dating till they got to college. I wasn’t even allowed to date till I was 15.

[Berethor]

You are still young, and many guys prefer a girl who had not been with other guys.

@Berethor
what the hell you are thinking no thats not normal

[Berethor]

@internetcop333 where I said that it normal? she sounds like a good girl, it rare nowadays.

[Asker]

What makes it abnormal😅

[Berethor]

I would call it unusual, not abnormal, many girls start dating at pretty young age.

[slatyb]

It's common enough. Don't worry about it. Soon you will finish high school and your dating pool will be much larger.

[HusamRocks]

Why do you want to have a boyfriend anyway ! Not because everyone around you do it means it's right 👍🏻

[BCRanger10]

It's pretty normal, I'd say. Don't necessarily put it off, but don't sweat it too much either.

[Nikki1989]

It is not common among people I grew up with. I can't speak for everyone else.

[nl171]

Not abnormal. I didn’t have a girlfriend until I was almost 18

[Asker]

I think I'm being a little distant

[nl171]

You can dm me if you’d like to talk about it

[Anonymous]

I had boyfriends younger but I just as easily could have not had one until 17 or older.

[In_Trance]

It's perfectly normal you have nothing to worry about

[maj1nall]

Why didn't it happen? Are you a distant, cold person?

[Asker]

cold person

[maj1nall]

I understand you. Not all people are bad. There are still good people out there. You need to break down your prejudices.

[Subtle_Luminescence]

Yes, it's normal. Nothing to worry about.

[Anonymous]

25 here and have only online dated, so yes that’s perfectly normal

[jahaims]

You are a child don't worry about dating
