17 years old and never had a real relationship.

[Menzis]

Hi I am 17 years old and I never had a real relationship. I had when I was 11 or 10 or something, but that doesn't count in my opinion.
I have good hygienes and am not unpleasent to be around as far as I know.
I should tell you im straight but curious sexually. I have had feelings for girls before, but never for boys. I kissed a girl once on a party, but I was drunk at the time. (In the Netherlands we were allowed to drink at 16 at the time, this has changed since 2014 to 18)

Is it normal that I never had a relationship..? I have had these feelings for a girl in my class, but she turned out to like another guy. Whenever I talk with girls, I just see them as friends and I never know when they are into me.
Questions for the girls:
Do you have any male friends?
When you talk a lot with a male friend does it mean you are into him?

It's completely fine. I'm a year ahead of you and I'm in the same position. I had a few "flings" when I was a good bit younger but they were very brief and I don't consider them relationships. It's really nothing to fret too much about at your age, or mine. Perhaps now just isn't the time, and it's very difficult to get in a good relationship as a teenager anyways, most relationships at this age don't last very long.

So, in short, don't worry. You most certainly are not alone there.

There's nothing wrong with not having an actual relationship at that age. And to answer your questions, yes I have guy friends and no me talking to them a lot doesn't mean I'm into them.

Big deal. You'll fine someone eventually. Don't worry. It's fine to not have a girlfriend yet

As Hollywood said you are not the only one, it's pretty common.

And I'm like ImAurora, I have male friends but me talking to them doesn't mean I'm into them.

It's not that hard to know when a girl likes you, check if she often looks at you, if she smiles to you, if she acts different with you than with the others, if she try to see you as much as possible, if she's flirting with you!
And if you really are not sure, your move: flirt with her. Same things, smile at her, talk to her, ask her questions et show interest to what she likes, see her when you can (without being intrusive of course), propose her to go to the cinema/bowling/etc.

Pay attention to the signs, you'll feel it. (:

(sorry for my english!)

It's perfectly fine, there's no rush and everybody is different

I have had one relationship for 4 motnhs and it wasnt the best relationship to imagine. Most of my and her friends just said we where friends. Dont worry about it your time will come :)

[JamesSuperBoy]

Yes its normal not have had or be in a serious relationship at any age.

Its cool do not pressure yourself.

[Menzis]

I'm 17 too and I've never been in a real relationship either but I'm not letting it get me down and you shouldn't either. Need to find the right person; think about personality as well as looks - don't try to get into relationships too fast and just base it on looks because you will never know what you're in for as 1. they could be ugly behind the makeup and 2. be extremely sour and cause you a lot of problems because of how stressy they are. I've found the right person but it's a girl and I know I like guys a lot more - and this is purely based on personality what I'm experiencing here and she likes girls a lot more in the sexual way so we're not trying to take it any further than friendship.

Don't worry, it'll happen eventually and you shouldn't throw yourself into anything. It's better to be friends in my opinion - less things can go wrong and I myself would never say things about myself like "slim" and other things, that's the opinion of the other people; all I say about myself is I'm a chubby autistic kid with some slight emotional problems and let other people decide the rest - not that this really counts for anything much. Friendships are definitely better, until you get to know someone enough to know that you will both be able to stick at something, and that's one of the reasons I myself am taking too long. :rolleyes:

same boat buddy, but i don't care to be honest lol.

You asked if girls had male friends and if we did does that mean we like them like that. Well, I mostly have male friends. Some I have liked, some not. Most of them though we are just friends. If a girl likes you, you'll know. pay attention to what she says. If ya'll are texting or whatever and the conversation comes to sort of a standstill but she continues it, then she's probably into you. And don't get discouraged on not having a relationship. Most people these days are just in a relationship to be in a relationship. I know numerous people, 19 and older that have never had a relationship. It's not what defines you

[dreamofdante]

I'm 18 and haven't kissed anyone or had a relationship. I guess there's people out there like you man.

[highschool]

I haven't been on here for a while, but yeah it's totally normal! just because other people are doing things, doesn't mean you need to be. We all go at our own pace, and i'm sure you'll been in a relationship soon:)
