17 & never had a bf

hey i jus turn 17 last month and to this day ive neva had a boyfriend. even the silly 'relationships' in primary skool

to be honest ive never been kissed either :frown:

i find this confusing because apparently im pretty but boys tend not to talk to me! One guy in particular who is to hott to define is ignores me completely in the sense that if im talkin to my friends he will interupt and have a convo with the, leavin me out.

my friend told me maybe he 'likes' me which is highly unlikely as he IS the hottest guy in skool n so can hve any girl he wants which isnt hard as grls are fallin all over him! If he did lyk me and hes is soo hot then ydoes he not talk to me then huh?

well my main issue is that everyone i tlk to has a boyfriend or at least SOMETHIN goin on in their lyf. i on the other hand have never even had my first kiss! is that ok? and should i play the ignorin game to the hot guy?

please speak in proper English. Life is spelt L I F E. There is no "y"

It is perfectly normal not to have had a boyfriend at 17. Just look back through the topics here, there are literally hundreds about this.

Don't ignore the hot guy. It would just be weird if really he had no feelings for you at all. Just wait and see if he asks you out or something.

There are many many people who have never had a boyfriend at 17.

Dont worry about it. Have fun being single :rolleyes:

Maybe it's about time someone started a 'I'm 17+ and never been in a relationship' Society.

OMG not another one of these threads! This must be the 5th thread I've read recently on the same subject.

Lol I was just thinking the same thing. Mods stop letting them happen we need one mass thread where all the 16-20 year olds can stress over not having had a boyfriend/had sex/been kissed yet. It can be like a mass sex free orgy.

Just ignore this guy, he is probaby not as good as people say...try looking towards other guys who are nice....

"something going on in their life" you live a very shallow life if something going on in their life amounts to nothing more than a bf/gf, there's plenty you can do without either :p: i'm just 18 and the same positiona s you...no problem IMO

It's really not that unusual. Anyway, as soon as you turn 18 and start going clubbing etc, you'll at least change the 'never been kissed' bit quickly enough. Maybe that will give you more confidence. You're honestly not unusual - they're are lots of people at 17 who are still single. If you're really looking, you're probably missing the one or two guys who have been trying to catch your eye for about 3 years - it often happens like that.

I was almost 17 and a half before I had my first relationship. Its nowt to worry about, theres plenty of us out there:p:

I know it's mean but the more of these I see the more I want to laugh. I don't see the big deal at all. Like I said in the other one (of many), i'm 20 and have never been in a serious relationship, it's not the end of the world.

If you put yourself out there and the dude asks you out, great.

If not, then maybe hes not as 'hott' as he is on the otside, theres loads of nice boys out there. :smile:

most people I know haven't had a boy friend or girl friend, and they are popular people.

I haven't had anything remotely meaningful, and Im in a really bad and confused place right now, put it out of your mind your 17 (like me), i don't know anyone who would judge you for not having a boy friend, well actually I do, but they are scum! their opinion means nothing to me, and if they didn't say that about someone they would be having a go at the persons parents, see? scum! I am sure that anyone who would consider saying anything to you would be of a similar value to society.

ignoring game might be a good idea!

Hey you are pretty (apparently!) so don't worry, I know that feels like if you could just have something it would be ok, but trust me wait for someone that truly excites you and you them, much much better!

I would say that being 17 is one of the most difficult years of your life. This sounds dumb now, but I absolutely detested not having ID and (initially) had a major fear of going up to a bar and being thrown out. Don't know why, some of my friends had been thrown out and it's not as if everyone started to point and laugh, because we we're all underaged afterall. But I think it's something to do with the idea that you believe at 18 you're supposed to be 'an adult'. But at 18, you can still be wearing a school uniform.

So yeah, 17 is young. DON'T WORRY about it. Besides, the right guy for you will probably recognise you're shy and make life easy for you. Just wait for it. And have you ever considered the possibility that everyone thinks you won't go out with them because your too attractive?

Don't worry too much about it, I'm 18 in August and I've been with my first boyfriend for only 2 months. It will happen when it happens, don't let it concern you too much

I haven't read all the posts but put it this way its fine that you haven't had a bf at 17. I didn't have my bf till i was 18. It isn't something you should rush so don't get upset because it isn't happening straight away. It will happen, just be patient.
