Is it weird to not want a girlfriend?

[Pulp501]

Sometimes I think to myself "I should get a girlfriend or sometbing" or someone to make out with or something, because I'm 17, and all my friends are dating, but I've never had a serious girlfriend or done anything sexuality with anyone. I'd be open to doing it, but I've never felt like it's important. I've never really cared if I have a girlfriend or not. I don't feel like I'm missing out, but is that kind of weird? I don't think I could get a girl if I tried, and maybe I just subconsciously made myself okay with that, idk. I don't wanna be single forever, and I'm starting to feel pressure to try and date, but when I think about it, I don't care much

Hey Brennon, think it's completely ok. No sense being with someone just because other people believe you should. If it's not important to you now, don't sweat it. Do what feels right for you.

No, I don't think it is weird at all. Love should happen naturally, whether you do or don't want to pursue it at that moment. Let the right person come along. This is actually a good thing, your mind is set on more important things, rather than just trying to find someone to be with. :P

I don't think that's weird at all because I've got the same mindset as you and maybe because I'm not really looking for a girl but a guy anyway that's a different story.

It's not weird. Alot of guys are that way.

I don't think u should be pressured into getting one because then u wont like it then break up and loose a friendship.. girls can be annoying anyways haha :)

You shouldn't force yourself to find a girlfriend. You should wait until you happen to run into someone you -really- like, then go for her (or him, nobody is going to judge you)

No worries dude. I'm not concentrating on one right now. I've got my hands filled with school work, sports practice and games, my volunteer activities to pad my resume for college applications and getting ready for college. I might hang with a few girls while being with a group of friends but most girls require a certain amount of attention and Ijust dont think its fair to them, or yourself. Im not closing the door if I was to meet someone along the way but when you meet someone you will know. Its all about timing. You can't force something to happen.

naw it is not weird at all man

[Babs]

Completely normal! Don't worry about it.

that's cool. you don't want to get into a relationship if you're not ready. everyone is different, some people start earlier than others. nothing wrong with waiting awhile.

if its not important to you, then you shouldnt go out and jump into something that your heart just isnt into because that would only lead to hurt feelings and a bad relationship. dont fall into peer pressure just and that mindset that just because my friends are doing it... whats good for one isnt always good for another. wait until you are ready, then go for it.

No I don't want one either I think sometimes it's just nice to get a break
