From a guy: Don't be afraid. Just be yourself. When you meet a guy who wants to be your boyfriend, the worst thing you can do is pretend you're someone you're not (unless you're a jerk...then you should pretend to be nice; but I don't think that applies to you). Just talk about what interests you. Or get him to talk about what interests HIM, which always works. If you're worried about romantic stuff, don't be. Lots of people don't get a chance at romance until they're older than 19. I hope you will gain some confidence by knowing that you are a good match for SOMEONE (or several guys) and that you'll eventually run into him/them. The only other advice is to not stay at home. Put yourself in situations where there are other people to meet. And ask your friends if they have anyone to introduce you to. Good luck and have fun! I know you will!

Why ask strangers when you can talk to your parents... ...the best part of life can be discovery and when it comes to love, discovery is so sweet.

join a dating service

Don't worry I'm 20 and never had a girlfriend, never been kissed or anything either. Just remember you and I are still young and we will find the one, but until then just be yourself and live your life to the fullest. :) +4 for the question

stop worrying about it, most of the relationships girls have before adulthood are damaging anyway, you are better off without them. don't identify yourself as a relationship, just role with it.

You hope one will come in time for what? There's nothing wrong with not having a boyfriend. Also, you really don't need to be concerned about being on his level once you do have one. I could answer that part of your question if I knew exactly what you were referring to by "on there level," but in general, I don't think that's much of a problem. If a guy didn't think you were what he wanted, he wouldn't ask you out. Enjoy life as it is now, rather than borrowing tomorrow's worries. Usually, the things you think you will need to worry about don't end up being the real problems anyway, so all the worrying you do ahead of time ends up being over nothing.

work on your confidence

You're pretty hung-up on attractiveness. What you have to realize is that yes, looks are important, but only initially. Those girls who you perceive as less pretty than yourself? Probably less hung-up on the whole issue. When the time comes (and it will) you won't know if you and the boyfriend-to-be will be on each others' level until you try. Relationships often don't work out because of this, but it's no big deal, really. You just have to keep trying to figure out what works and what doesn't, and eventually it will happen. Every relationship that you have will give you more experience, and more insight into yourself & what it is that you want. Just be yourself and relax.

Girl I know what you mean, I'm 24 and never dated, kissed or anything either! Never was ready, but now that I am. . . I don't really know what to do about it. Just be patient is the only thing I know.

NOT TO WORRY, JUST GO SLOW AND EASY, TAKE YOUR TIME, ONE DAY HE'LL FIND YOU OR YOU'LL FIND HIM, BUT ALL WILL TURN OUT OK, AS LONG AS YOU GO SLOW AND EASY. PLENTY OF TIME.

If you want a boyfreind why not go and ask a boy out, why do think that you can only go on a date if the boy ask you our first?

heyy im in exactly the same situation. Im 19 and have never has a boyfriend and have never even kissed a guy so your not the only one. Im not sure why it might be because i've always concentrated on my studies and guys might just think im not interested but really i am. A lot of guys have said I am attractive but thats as far as it ever goes.Im really worried too if someone comes along but im not on the same level as him. but i would say just hang in there and someone will soon come along who will love you for who you are.

well i am a guy thats 18 1/2 and i haven't experienced anything in the same way you have but i know from recent experiences there is someone out there you just have to wait live your life how you want and someone will come along.

dont worry, i am in exactly the same situation and many a time i have felt like a complete retard because ive never had a boyfriend! I have always been quite shy when it comes to guys, and being brought up with restrictive parents meant that when i was younger i thought if i had a bf it would just be too much hassle, it also seems that every person i like im too scared to tell, or i think that im not good enough for them and not what they want, but as ive got older, ive gone to uni and have had some guy attention when i go out (lots of drunken kissing - not good but generally quite fun haha!) and some of them could have turned into something, but each time i didnt let it. I have realised that i can blame the fact ive never had a boyfriend on loads of factors - my shyness, my parents, lack of decent guys, my body issues (ive never been confident about my body) so the chances are maybe we just arent putting ourselves out there enough. Obviously not intentionally, but i think looking back over the years, i very rarely let guys get to know the real me as ive always been too insecure. Away from home and at uni im so much happier, and im now living my own life and doing what i want to do so i feel like i am actually ready to have a relationship, but at the same time i know i still need to work on getting to like myself, because i dont want to rely on someone else to make me happy. I would suggest having confidence in yourself that you are good enough and worthy of having someone love you, but also that you can be happy without a boyfriend, and just having a good time and if guys turn up then give them a chance and see how it goes, thats what im trying to do. I know it sounds cliche but alot of people always tell me that you have the rest of your life for that stuff, i used to hate it when they said that, but i realised their kind of right, if you rush everything now then what is there left to look forward to? Alot of the time when i see my friends and the messiness and often just childishness of their relationships i am quite glad that i dont have those sorts of problems at the moment, but at the same time im looking forward to finding someone eventually, i just hope it happens sooner rather than later! hehe hope this made you feel a bit better or was helpful in some way! xxx

I think that it is a good thing in a way. Would you rather sleep with or kiss a guy who has no meaning to you? I know lots of people who have and believe me thay regret it at some point.I waited until i found a guy i loved before anything physical. You will find someone special....the more you look for it the less it will come your way.Live life and let love find you.Hope that helps and stay positive :)
