Bit insecure about this...

---

..I've looked, and this seems to be the best place to put this. Anyways, I'm new here, and recently joined because something has been bothering me, and I'm feeling kind of ashamed about it..Currently I am 17 years old, turning 18. I'm in grade twelve, and haven't had a single serious relationship my entire life(I've had a girlfriend, but it was short and wasn't serious). My concern is, I'm 18 and I have yet to even kiss a girl. Is something wrong with me? All my friends are talking about there experiences, because either they have or had girlfriends, and have all kissed, some even do it publicly. Personally, I'm in no real rush to get a girlfriend, but I'm feeling pressured in trying to find one just for that kiss.. Can anyone help me out here, give me some advice...? Is it sad/weird that I haven't kissed a girl yet at the age of 17? Or haven't even had a serious relationship? This has been really harping on my self-esteem as of late, and any comments would be greatly appreciated.

I actually have a few friends like this. One is tall good looking has a good personality and hasnt kissed a girl yet. Its not because hes repulsive or anything he just hasnt found the right girl, and he isnt the type to go just trying to get some. One of them was exactly like this until he turned 17 then he got drunk and got kissed and a few other things, and i dont think thats the way you want it to be.And neither of them have even had a relationship. Theres no rush, your my age man we are teens you dont have to go rushing things.. When the time comes it will come and i think you will be happy if you wait til its the right person. Im 17 going on 18 and though ive never had this problem i can still tell you its nothing to worry about. You have your whole life ahead of you, and you are perfectly fine, there is nothing wrong with you.Just live life and enjoy yourself and dont harp on it. Theres nothing wrong with you like i said i have alot of friends like this and im not sure if it really bothers them or not but i think for the most part it doesnt, they just live their lives and have fun being the age they are and thats what you should do, no rush and goodluck to you! The time will come when it comes.

Nah, you're fine. You'll find the right girl when you're not looking, and you'll know it instantly.

There's nothing wrong with you.Let the other guys talk about all their wonderful experiences (which are probably mostly lies anyway) if they want.Like you said, you're not in any rush to find a girlfriend, so just leave it at that. It's not a good idea to go look for a girlfriend just to get that kiss.It's understandable you feel insecure about this, especially in today's society.Speaking from experience, don't let it bother you. Go ahead and talk with your friends about stuff you've never done before if you want (or not), just don't let it bother you.

Thanks for the replies guys, but I probably won't be talking about it with other people. I don't know though, I kind of want to have that gf-bf relationship I see a lot of my friends having, I just can't find that right girl yet. It'll happen eventually I know, I guess I'll try not to rush the process if what I'm reading from you guys is right.

I've noticed that when you want a girlfriend, you probably won't find one.

It's when you don't think about it or not let it bother you is when that special girlfriend shows up.

Dude I'm 24 and in the same situation, so you aint got nothing to worry about!

I'm in the EXACT same position, i'm also just approaching 18. I try not to let it bother me though.

Well, glad to hear it first hand that I'm not the only one in the same situation.

Including women.
