I feel pressured to get a girlfriend

[TheRedViper]

So I turn 17 in a few days but I haven't ever had a girlfriend, not even kissed a girl. I'm not socially awkward or anything, I have friends that are girls, it's just I don't really put myself out there, like going to parties or talking to heaps of people on Facebook, it's just not who I am. I kind of feel really pressured now, since I was in a group chat with some friends on Facebook, and the conversation got to girls, and while some of my friends haven't really had a girlfriend, they certainly have more opportunities than I do. They use Facebook a lot, and have jobs with lots of girls around them. They talk about getting asked out by girls and it just makes me feel really pressured and upset cause I don't have a girlfriend, and it makes me worried I never will. Even friends I would consider a little nerdy have opportunities. Unfortunately there aren't many good choices of girls at my school, since none of them appeal to me at all. I feel very limited, and don't know what to do.

I feel pressured too...
But hey, I'm actually just 14. So in your eyes I don't need a girlfriend at all yet, right?
There's probably someone older than you that feels the same about you.

Dont be in a hurry to get a girlfriend, cause, in my opinion, you should only be in a relationship to a girl that doesnt make you pressured, dont get a girlfriend just to get a girlfriend.
Mr opinion :D

Only get one when you are ready and when you want one.

Get a girlfriend to be with someone you care for, not just to get a girlfriend. It's ok that you don't have one. Chill out

So you and a few guys you know have not had girlfriends and the choices at school are limited. Maybe look around at new places to go people to be with. but do not feel pressured and dont believe all you mates tell you.

You shouldn't feel pressured. Only get one when you're ready.

Meh. I went out with one girl to find out she is in a relationship next week. In order to avoid tensions, I cut my losses and continued to look for another girl.

Don't worry too much about it, it's not really a big deal. You shouldn't start a relationship with someone just because you feel pressured too. It's not good for you or the other person.

It's not that I'm not ready for a girlfriend. I believe I am very much so ready. I'm seventeen in a few days, and don't just want a girlfriend for the sake of it, but because it would be nice to be that close to someone. I almost ended up going out with one of my best friends last year, but we didn't end up, for a couple of reasons. Now that I think back on it I realise we wouldn't have been very good together, since she would probably ended up cheating on me like she did with all her other boyfriends. My main issue is that there really isn't many options at my school, and simply "going out" to meet other girls I don't really understand and I wouldn't know what to do.

I am in the same situation, there are barely any (out) gay/bi girls where I live and I'm an awkward person in social situations. I would like to have a girlfriend, but I suppose you just have to be patient. Your time will come :)

[DarkHorse4eva]

there shouldn't be any pressure at all. it takes time, some are faster than others, but that doesn't mean you have to find somebody. you'll get a girlfriend when you feel like you're ready.
