is it stragne that i have never dated anyone and im senior in highschool
my friend make fun about it but does it really matter?

Good. You don't have to experience a broken heart then. Keep your priority on school then once you're done you can go out and play.

ummm why are you so concerned about it?
I personally think... people who cares about how other people see them are just... not mature enough?
Be who you are... no point wearing stupid masks... just fact that you are immature.

On a side note, neither have i and i am 2nd year university. Got a problem w/ that?

my mother says that...

---
anyways it isn't important
i didn't date till senior year and it didn't last very long at all
don't sweat it, high school romance ain't worth the time
there are bigger fish once you enter college

No, it's not weird. I know a bunch of people who started dating in college.
Majority of high school relationships don't last anyways.

i'm a senior and i have never had a boyfriend. nor do i ever want one, because i know that i'm not the nicest person out there. so, don't worry, many of my friends never had a boyfriend. and right now you don't want stupid drama to mess up your life, do you? because my REALLY close friend has a bf and she is totally stressing out about him. ):

Hey, don't worry about it. Even though it is a pretty nice experience, dating isn't as important as people make it out to be or as important as they are portrayed on TV. Believe me, at this point, you're not missing out on much. I would say, "focus on your studies," but the most important thing for a person your age is the process of answering "Who am I?" Adolescence is a very turbulent period of a person's life, you have to build a consistent identity of your self-perceptions and interactions with others. According to Erik Erikson, people who fail to develop a sense of identity suffer from an uncertainty about who they are and where they are going.

No it's not strange at all. Most high school relationships don't work out anyways. But don't worry about it, everything will change for you in college. No cliques, no immature kids, and you'll be with people similar to you. Not to mention you'll be older and have a better sense of who you are oh and freedom haha. But if you're that bent on dating try going out to more events that interest you.

i didn't date until my second year of university.
it's not strange. it's your own life, you can do what you want, when you want.

No there nothing wrong with it becuz I been single for 17 yr I don't have deal with boy clinging on me or drama so it stress free in that matter

thanks yall i feel alittle better cause where im from people know me and they think its alittle strange but heck
thanks

No. Its not strange at all. I never dated anyone until I was in my second year of uiversity. People do things at different pace. Tell your friends to shut up when they tease you about it.

I know a girl who is doing her PhD (just started) and hasn't dated.

Don't stress too much, dating isn't as easy as it seems, yes it looks to be good, but HS romances rarely last... there ARE, but it isn't majority. Just enjoy life, and I am sure, when time comes, you will start dating. There is no need to start early anyway, save heart ache, as HS-ers are not all that mature when they date.... (at times)

Why should you care what other people think??

Do things for yourself ~ not your friends, who cares right!!

I didnt start dating til I was 16 almost 17 ~ which is college in UK ... so I was out of graduation... prob be your equivlent to freshman year in college for you... so 18 almost 19?? O_O aaannnyyyywaaay

shouldnt matter ~ if it is starting to effect you then you do something about it, if not then leave it

I'm expanding on my previous post. Worry about the kind of person you aim to become in your life for now, focus your energy on making it happen. I promise you, you WILL find an identity for yourself, and you WILL have plenty of confidence because of it. And it is those things that will attract people to you.

I wasn't allowed to date or so that was what my parents told me in high school. By college time they were like.. "why don't you have a boyfriend?! You're not ugly or anything!" Back to my point, I didn't date until 3rd year of university. So really, you have nothing to worry about! When the right guy comes, you'll know. Don't rush it.

i find it normal o-o;

i mean, yooh probably juss haven't found sumone yooh'd like to go out wif or sumfin.

~____~ lol, sum of mah fwends in high skool still haven't went out wif anyone yet, n it's pwetty normal.

.___. if they say that yooh're weird or sumfin. they're juss losers *cough cough* D:

I think it's pretty normal, you should be focusing on SATs and getting into a good college!

I can't help but agree with this.

Don't think I'll ever be in love either. Dating--okay.

Sadly, you don't have to have been in a relationship to have your heart broken.
But it won't kill you either. In your life, your heart will break as many times as you need it to, and it will heal every time if you love yourself.

thanks alot yall i feel better about this now that i have people who thinks it ok
but i think its guess where u r and who u r around to hav the feeling that u have.

You gay or what?

Would you be heart broken if your friends chose to hang out with his/her other friends instead of you? I'm sure most people wouldn't.

What the hell are you talking about?

Age shouldn't determine when you have to be in a relationship. There is no such thing as "you have to".

I graduated high school about four years ago and I never had a relationship - well, there was one, but it went so wrong and it only lasted about a month, so I don't even consider it a real relationship. It's perfectly fine to not force yourself to fit into the norm of what people classify as, "couples are cool" and all that jazz. There are many others out there who have never been in a relationship until their 20s, and some in their 30s. From my point of view, forcing yourself into a relationship just so you can fit in is a waste of time. Even if you don't force yourself and people still separate you into a different category, they are merely immature and pathetic. People who think being in relationships make them much superior than others (i.e. teasing those who are single) are too full of themselves. Not everyone is the same and not everyone needs to be in a relationship to be confident (:

You being gay. What the hell are YOU talking about?

I dated a lot of losers and douchebags in my time because I just insisted on dating at an early age, since you think you know everything when you're 15. I could have saved myself a lot of trouble and a lot of wasted time if I just waited.

There's really nothing wrong with not dating, especially if you just haven't found someone who takes your breath away.

I was going in the opposite direction you did. You're talking about petty stuff like whether or not your friends want to go with you to Denny's.

If one suffers a loss in the family, are they not heartbroken? If one loses their way in life, are they not heartbroken? If one becomes isolated, would they not be heartbroken? My education and interactions with others allows me to account for the full spectrum of the human psyche, and as such, grants me insight into how others may think. How 'bout you, wings?



Perfectly reasonable explanation as to why teenagers think they are always right. The part of your brain that handles judgment doesn't finish development til about the age of 25, so people of that age tend to have a skewed perception of things.

beats dating out of desperation, loneliness, peer pressure, boredom or norms.

y'know that world of ignorance and bliss?
you're in it.

do enjoy it.

I've never dated either, I'm also a senior in high school.

Sometimes I wonder why. Does people not like me? Am I a freak?
But at the same time I couldn't imagine myself with anyone I knew at school.

My friends definitely don't make fun of me though. I guess guys in my little circle was never the main thing in life for us.

There was this survey on the average dating age for one country and most were 18-19 and
second was like...20-22 range or so. And there were those who were 28-30 who finally got into relationships as well.
I'm past high school but still hasn't ended up in one and I'm interested in other things right now.
So, don't rush yourself.

*sees Craigslist casual encounters in your future*

LMAO

Nope! Same here! (: I'll be 18 tomorrow and still never dated anyone. Haha.

I'm 19 and never have dated or been in love before... >.<" I think it's okie...
I think people reading my post might think i'm weird... XD

it's true. i'm such a mess right now because of it. But to answer your question, no i don't think it's weird. I didn't start going out with...I guess he's my ex now till I was 19 almost 20

There's nothing wrong with that at all. I'm 16 going on 17 and people around me are you know, just dating like maaad lol. I'm not really hung up on stuff like that (I don't even like anyone or have my eye on someone atm), but I feel like it makes things easier. I don't exactly feel left out or anything either, so it's all good.

It also is a result of your values. My parents are pretty strict dating-wise lol so I've just grown up knowing my parents would disapprove or that I shouldn't date till I'm older.

you will date someone- just wait.

Haha, reason I came into this thread was actually because i never dated anyone either, and yeah, I'm pretty much a senior in high school too.
Most of my friends havent dated either, so it's definitely not weird and you're definitely not alone.

Dating is stupid , i hate it ,and i wish i never met my current boyfriend , we love eachother too much and hurt eachothers feelings alot and it doesnt make any sense and were are both extremely sensitive about everything , gosh. lol XD!.


So just focus on school and leave dating and nonsense like that for later.

share the same pain man.
But.. I don't really care much cause school takes up to much of my time.
Rather get that A then go on a date.
lol so asian of me.

I'm a junior in college and I've never really dated any either. Don't be pressured by the others. You should just focus on school for now. =)

definitely nothing wrong with that!
you have one less thing to worry

Well, neither have I, and I'm first year university student
Don't feel burden about it, it will happen someday!
