I've not had a boyfriend and i'm 19?

I am 19 years old, second year of University and never had a boyfriend.

Although I have spoken to boys in the past, it's never gone as far as them being
my boyfriend. I've never liked them enough is the most common reason.

Or, i like them and they do not like me. I'm giving up hope, everyone around
me seems to be settling down and i'm afraid i'll never have a boyfriend.
I often feel lonely when not with my friends and would love that company
and not to have to be dependant on my friends for company.

Sometimes however i do like to be alone and just spend time with myself, but
other times i think how lovely it would be to have someone.

I'd love some advice on this matter, it's really getting me down and i do not
want it too.
Thought this was a poem at first.

You've already said that you've never had a boyfriend because you never liked anyone enough, so there's your problem.

Bold: These are 19-year-olds? I'd be very surprised if that was true.

You've got plenty of time. Focus on getting a good degree and, if someone that you like comes along, then pursue a relationship. At 19, you're hardly racing against the biological clock. :tongue:

My life, in a nutshell. :moon:
Try not to worry about it at all! There is someone for everyone and you will meet them, it can just take time. I was 19 when I met my current boyfriend and it felt like I had waited ages and ages, when really 19 is still SO young. Try and use the single time to focus on developing yourself and your own happiness, spending time with friends and doing what ever it is that you enjoy. 😊 x
