| Is it odd to be 19 and never of had a boyfriend?

University is a great place for this. Being someplace new, totally disconnected is very frightening but also quite empowering. You leave everything behind and can start fresh and make a conscious choice to be who you want to be, not who you were.
You are quite cute and seem sweet. I'm sure you'll meet someone :) | |

Posted: 11/6/2006 9:21:41 AM | | Hey, I'm 28 and I've never been in a long term relationship. It's not as uncommon as you think, and you're totally still young and have plenty of time. Don't rush it. | |

Posted: 11/6/2006 10:34:50 AM | 19...nah...I dated a girl in college who was 21 and I was her first b-friend. I was 19 at the time I thought it was odd at first, because she was a little older and had a small following of men wherever she went. Turns out she hadn’t dated because of her convictions. We just happened to get to know one another and soon we were inseparable.
I wouldn't sweat it.
If you're just trying to get a feel for dating...find a guy, show a little interest and see what comes of it.
Ask yourself why dating is now a concern for you? | |

Posted: 11/6/2006 5:42:21 PM | | Think of the movie Never Been Kissed with Drew Barrymore. She was like 25 before she had a real kiss.... and she got it from one of the hottest guys in Hollywood! Might only be a movie, but it is a grand thought none the less. | |

ok you say it is not odd to have never had a bf at my age, well then is it odd that I have never even been kissed at this age?
Same woman as I mentioned before...other than a friendly peck, she had nadda till we got together.
Either way I would worry too much about comparing yourself to others and worrying about how "odd" you are.
Be comfortable with where you at, because...well...that's where you're at.
The only advice I would offer to you is too not let that "Odd" feeling overwhelm you. While it may sound cynical of me, that "oddness" can very quickly put you in an awkward situation. In short, don't let someone take advantage of your ignorance about the matter.
When a guy does come along (and one will), decide beforehand how far and how fast you want to go, then stick to it. Be flexible where you feel it will be fair, but unbendable on things that compromise your integrity.
You've waited this long...no point in rushing into a relationship and no point in rushing through on when you're in one. | |

The guy before me gave you good advice. Don't stress about it. I was older than you before I even met a bloke I wanted to be involved with. It does not matter at all. | |

Posted: 11/7/2006 1:05:21 PM | I never dated or kissed anyone until I was 22...I was too busy with school and work and the guys my own age I found rather boring 
When I did start to date, there were plenty to choose from and many were glad that I didn't have "baggage" of previous b/f or ex's to deal with. Don't stress over it OP-when the time is right and yes, when you least expect it, someone may come into your life.  | |

Posted: 11/7/2006 1:38:02 PM | | Don't feel odd. Even at 35, some people have never married, only because they decided it is important to build a career first, and then start looking. You have your whole life ahead of you. Do what you choose, and enjoy it. Go out and volunteer, work, hike, learn, and be creative with your time. | |

Posted: 11/7/2006 1:57:59 PM | | Hey MetalQueen.....we ALL don't wish to control women. A lot of us 'guys' just want to have fun....and then, some of us want to spend our lives waking up with the same woman at our sides each morning. k? To each, his/her own..... | |

Posted: 11/7/2006 3:22:27 PM | Not weird at all. You look like a doll. I'm sure you're just being picky. I'm 20 and on the same page as you. So, I don't think it's odd. If others think it's odd, then just screw them. | |

Posted: 11/7/2006 5:53:08 PM | | Ok, so university is a great place to meet people, but what if you're out of school and working in a career, fairly confident in yourself, and are still having the same problems as our dear HeyFrog? And you're only 2 years older than her? | |

Posted: 11/7/2006 9:49:12 PM | I think my first real relationship was when i was about 18..and in fact i know a few girls who havent really had a "proper" bf who are my age as well.
Dont worry, it takes time, it comes down to whether you want one or not in reality.
Next, once youve answered that, then look for places for meeting people, im sure this was mentioned down the line, but university is a great start..you meet a LOAD of people during frosh week...i know absolute squat on dallas but it is a large city so you should be ok for findin people your age.
Hope this helps..and good luck. | |
