Almost 18 and never had a Boyf
I feel so embarrassed when people ask me if I'm going out with anyone. The truth is I have crushes on boys sometimes, but still don't feel quite ready to go out with anyone. I sometimes get paranoid and think people think I'm gay cos they ask so many questions about my love life. I don't really like talking about my feelings to people I hardly know, even to my closest mates. I currently fancy a guy who works in the same shop as me, but I'm too scared to ask if he likes me cos It'd be really embarressing if he said no. I have a strong belief that a boy has to ask a girl out and I don't believe in sex before marriage. (Though I don't impose my personal opinions onto others, I don't mind what other ppl do as long as it doesn't affect me)

feel bad? i didnt have a girlfriend until i was 18, and well it was worth waiting for ~(yes i know that was 6 years ago :'( )~
I agree with the no sex before marriage idea but that has never stopped me. There is nothing wrong with not having a boyfriend yet, you'll have plenty of time in the next few years to find someone special. Regarding the bloke, the only thing i can think of is (and i know it sounds immature) tell someone else that you like him and get them to subtly mention it to him.

Don't stress about it too much. You sound like you're doing the right thing - don't worry what other people say or think. Much better to wait for someone who will make you happy than to compromise your beliefs and rush into something where you'll be thoroughly miserable. I got with my first serious boyfriend at 15 and at the time I didn't believe in sex before marriage either. When things started to go wrong in our relationship I decided to sleep with him because I thought it would make him stay with me. Needless to say it didn't, and I really regret it now!
im serious, i didnt get a girlfriend till i was 18....and even she admitted she didnt think i was good lookin when i started seeing her (she admitted this years later 
)
)lol....she wasnt blind, in fact we're still close (enough) to talk bout stuff every 2 days or so but i get annoyed when i remember that fact
It sounds like you're not too bothered about not having a boyfriend - you're just bothered about what other people think of you. That's perfectly normal, and you're doing the sensible thing by waiting until you're ready. If you're not sure whether you're ready or not, just take it slowly when you do meet someone. First relationships are all about testing the water and finding out whether you're ready for something serious.
the film is utter shít - thats my honest opinion - its nothing against you as a person (well maybe it is!) but there is nothing funny in that!
????? me? that aimed at me?
my apologies - you have already insisted upon it being 'crap', but it wasn't even 'funny crap' if you get my drift!

I didn't have a boyfriend until i was 19
thats the same for my first GF
I only had my first g/f at 16 (I'm 18 now) its better if you meet someone when your older because their more mature and generally know what they want in life, I doubt many people are still with people they went to school with/started going out with in their early teens because people change and move on to different things and stuff
I agree with everyone else here that there's no rush - pushing yourself into a relationship just because your friends etc. think you should be seeing smeone is the worst thing you could do - but I don't understand the idea that a boy "has" to ask a girl out. It puts all the pressure on us, and we're very simple creatures
