I've never been with anyone either. You're young and still have plenty of time to find one. Really, don't rush things and you'll find someone eventually. In the mean time, don't worry about it so much.

Many teens don't have girlfriends in high school. You just need to remember that high school operates very differently than the real world does. When high school ends there won't be a "popular group" and the "pretty girls" or the "nerds" and the "geeks". Sure, you might tend to hangout or associate yourself with people that you have common interests with in your every day life, but you aren't so confined and sheltered to live by the social norms that everybody tries to live by. You have plenty of time to find the right girl, you don't need to rush things and be unhappy. Just be yourself and welcome the new - things may work them selves out nicely.

If it makes you feel any better ive only ever been in one relationship. It did manage to last 14 months though, lol. But that was when I was 16-17, and its not lame at all. If you havent found the right person or someone you are comfortable with then dont worry. It isnt the end of the world. :)

I've never had a girlfriend either and I'm freaking 19. :'( I really want one.

I'm 17, nearing 18, and I've had one relationship. It was this past winter going into mid-summer.

I truly know how you feel, I feel the same way. You're sitting in school watching all the other guys with these beautiful girls and they all look so happy. They're flirting, kissing, smiling. And you want that.

But listen, I think the biggest problem is (at least for me it is) that you have lived with these people throughout your life. You've gone to school with the same people, same social groups, and they all know you and who you are. There's already an idea everyone has in their mind of you.

I found my ex at my cousins concert, she went to a different school than I did. The girl I'm talking to now I met at a play I went to with some friends, she too went to a different school.

When you get out of high school and join the real world, you'll see that there are people that like you.

The best advice I can offer you is the advice I'm taking myself:

Go out, try new things, see new places. You'll enjoy the experiences and you'll meet new people. You may not date these new people but, hell, it's an opportunity. It seems to be going alright for me and at least you and I have college to hope for. New people, new opportunities.

Good luck and best wishes.
