Young Love

Hey,

Have been thinking about who of my mates I can talk to about this for a while, and don't really feel comfortable talking to any of them, don't know why though, so I decided to post on here.

I'm 17 and a half, and I've never ever had a boyfriend, and I just feel so so lonely. It's only over the last six months or so that I have felt worse about it, all my friends have boyfriends/girlfriends, or at least if they haven't got one at the moment, they have had one recently. I know people will say to me, don't worry, enjoy single life and whatever, but to be honest I'm just downright miserable and don't want to feel like this :frown:

I feel that I'm never going to be loved, and it's really depressing me. Everything on the tv seems to have couples in it, and most of the music on the radio is about love. :frown:

Sorry for the sad post :frown:

Love me xx

I think you are worrying too much. You're only 17 so you have plenty of time to meet someone. A lot of relationships at your age never last anyway.

you dont have to have a partner to define yourself, i know sometimes it would be nice and all but learn to love yourself 1st, love from some one else will follow, things get a hell of a lot easier when you dont care about them, so be happy with you and you as an entity in itself rather than a potential girlfriend

what squigaletta said is very true... you become more attractive when you're happy with yourself as well making it easier to get a partner, kinda catch 22 loop so you gotta break it!

Indeed. Stand behind Poop Idol's Rik Waller to illustrate this point if you're finding it hard to grasp.

everyone feels the way you do atm at some point in their life.

i felt like that a while ago, everyone was taken, loving each other, and i still envy how i don't have that someone i can tell everything to, when all fails he'll be there for me.

but to be honest, i dunno - speaking from myself i'm pretty happy at the moment. yeah i'm single, but i'm pretty close with a lot of people, it just depends how you put yourself out there.

i'm even closer with this friend of mine, he means so much to me.. but i suppose it'll take a while for me to know if he feels the same.

as for you being single, just take every day as it comes. theres nothing wrong with it, just try and make friends who are single aswell, that always helps. go out with people who aren't taken, it'll make you feel less like you want someone so bad.

no need to feel miserable, there are over 8 billion people on this earth, less than half of them are happily 'taken' - you have quite an option.
just don't say to yourself you'll never get someone, you're only 17, you have so much more to live for; a job, career, family life etc..

i dunno - just cheer up.

You're only 17 for crying out loud! As your mates will tell you soon enough, young love is all it's cracked up to be. And when they're all coming to you in tears over the bastards they've been shagging lately, you'll be thinking, thank **** I had all those cosy nights in by myself.
I'm almost 20 and although I've been in relationships, I've never once been in a serious one. It's just not worth being stuck to someone you don't really like just for the sake of feeling wanted. You obviously have a low self esteem.

Why would you never be loved just because youre single at 17?

Cheer up! you have so much more time to find a boyfriend and to find love!

Considering most people dont find the person they want to spend their lives with until theyre in their 20s and 30s, id hardly say there was anything wrong with you for being single at 17!

Aw! Don't worry like everyone else says - you're young and you'll find and meet loads of nice guys. My school was pretty small and limited as was my area so a whole load of girls I know have never had a serious relationship and they're going into uni this year. And on the other hand one of my best mates has been with her boyfriend for four years - since she was 14. You're way better off having been single than being with the same person for four years, especially during your teens, so just sit back and enjoy yourself, you might meet someone tomorrow or next year but you definitely will :smile:
