People are shocked that I've never really had a boyfriend.

[Anonymous]

OK so I've never really had a boyfriend and everyone that finds this out is shocked or doesn't believe that it is true and I don't know why. I mean I don't find it hard to believe that I've never had a bf. I have a lot of friends and I know that a lot of guys like me and think I'm hot. I've never gone around saying that I've had a boyfriend or that I currently have one, if someone asks me I'll tell them that I've never had one but everyone is always super surprised that I've never had one. A lot of them thought I had one but I don't. Why are they shocked or why do they find it hard to believe that I've never had a bf?

I never had a serious boyfriend until I was 18, as I was waiting for the right guy to be in a relationship with - I'm 21 now and I'm still with my first boyfriend - being picky pays off! .. People were surprised, but it's not like one needs a boyfriend/girlfriend to live a fulfilling life. Maybe they just figured you seemed likeable and assumed you've had previous relationships - hence why they were surprised.

In any case, who cares what people think, just do your thiiing! :)

ha I just got that today, all though I have had a bf. but single now since like damn highschool! sometimes I am so sad I feel like I am wasting my good looking years lol but I can't find a guy that I truly like. I had my first boyfriend at ur age, I mean obv. you are good looking if people are surprised, if you wan't one y don't you start flirting with the guys and just get one if you want. I am sure there is a guy out there that cought your eye? lol

Because you're attractive.

Everybody expects the nerds and the fat unattractive girls to be the ones who have never had a boyfriend/girlfriend.

And on the flip side they expect the attractive people to have had plenty of ex girlfriends and boyfriends.

Why haven't you had a boyfriend anyway?

Are your parents strict and never allowed you to have a BF. Or were you just not interested in having one?

Mom wouldn't let me at first and then I don't know why. I was already having fun with my friends and didn't see the need for one. Now, I mean I sorta want one but the guys don't tell me that they like me til months or years later..and I don't know how to really tell if they like me or just think I'm hot anymore

If you've never had a boyfriend, the guys around you might think the reason is that your standards are super high and that they have no chance at all with you.

Its pretty easy to know when a guy likes you. A combination of nervousness, trying to impress you, and wanting to be around you. Are the signs.

But my standards are really super high. And I hang out with them a lot, so wouldn't that mean something I don't know lol

[colt1819]

I think having high standards is great. But at your age you won't meet many guys who meet your standards.

To me girls with high standards have a harder time finding the guy they a want. I would say stay with the high standards but open up to more opportunities. You never know which guy might be right for you.

Guys when they talk about high standards. That usually only means they like hot girls.

Probably because you are good looking and you have a personality that carries you well. I don't know for a fact but that's what I'm guessing. People tell me that all the time too, well I guess its because I'm in my 20s >_<. Oh well, if you want a boyfriend, at least it shouldnt prove difficult to get one.
