I am a sophomore in high school and never have had a boyfriend ,because I don't want a boyfriend like he is an object just to brag like that is the best thing ever. I'm quite cute too and have even heard boys from my school say I was cute or hot. The thing is that only the guys I don't want end up trying to test me by touching me to see if I was easy, I don't care for the girls that have a boyfriend a month or feel inferior,because I'm not as insecure and falling under peer pressure to have a boyfriend. I could of had "4 boyfriends or more" and not even be a virgin. Instead I chose to wait for the right guy for a real relationship and realize I'm still young and have a whole life to date and follow my own choices. Are you so much brainwashed to think you aren't normal ,because you can't say you have a boyfriend. You should feel special their are girls right now having babies your age, so young. I know how you feel maybe a lonesome feeling and wish you could have a guy to spend time with. I am eager for a boyfriend ,but know I can get the best if I cam wait until I can find the right person and not just the guy I won't even be with the next year. Guys will like you ,but be smart.

Don't worry about it too much. My sister's on her way to graduating from COLLEGE without having had a boyfriend. You just have a different way of interacting with guys than most, or you're one of the people for whom dating is more than just an in-the-moment thing.
Don't worry about it too much. You're a different person than your friends. It's just becoming apparent to you earlier in life than most people. And there's nothing wrong with being different - I'm quite happy being different. You'll date when and if you're ready. I see no reason for you to date someone simply for the sake of dating.
I am 24 in high school I didn't have a boyfriend I think its cool I had a good time just hanging out with friends. In college I met a guy we been off and on for 5 years he was my first guy to be intimate with it was a big deal. Totally up to you have a good time in high school
First of all, if your friends make fun of you for not having a boyfriend, you should get new friends! :) Real friends don't do stuff like that, they support you and build you up no matter what.
As far as never having a boyfriend goes, don't worry about it. I went through high school never having a girlfriend and I'd like to think I turned out ok. If anything, not having a girlfriend allowed me to observe how other relationships functioned so I could take mental notes on things NOT to do when my time came. I know the majority of high schoolers on here would disagree with me, but I kind of think that high school is a little too early to get deeply involved with someone. Neither you nor the boy is really mature enough yet to make things work. A friend of mine went through countless girlfriends throughout middle school and high school, and now he's in college and regrets it. Some of those girls caused serious emotional damage to him, and that affects his ability to maintain relationships now.
In short, don't worry about it. Going through high school a bachelorette is completely fine, despite what the media and your friends tell you.
High school is a great time to have a small, fun relationship with someone that you have a lot of commonalities with. Very rarely, though, will it develop into true and lasting love as you grow up. So, it's not bad to date around and test things out, but it's also not bad if you don't get into any relationships in high school. Enjoy the time and figure out who you truly are, and eventually that will lead you to meet someone who is truly in sync with you. You're not gonna miss out on that just because you didn't date in high school.

hey don't worry about about not having a boyfriend during high school. its not really all that important because 90% never last. I have been dumped in high school 4 times and when someone gets dumped you become the most popular student for the day and you get teased so I wouldn't bother going for anyone during that time if I were you.
the same exact thing is going on with me.
but as long as your happy, its not a problem.
you'll find a boyfriend at the right time.
