trust me girl you do not need a boyfriend!
your young and trust me all they are is drama. they distract you from school, cheat on you, then if your dumb enough, they will get you pregnant and leave you!!!
just focus on school, go to college and be somebody!!!
when your older and more mature you will find that right one at the right time.

I can relate to that! I am 20 now and still feel the same way--and I've NEVER dated. It just happens for some people and not for others.
Being single does NOT mean you are a loser. In fact, it could mean the opposite. However, it is a lonely place to be when you see other people dating and the influence of the media makes you feel like you can't be a real person without a guy attached to your hip.
Don't lose hope, and please please for your own sake, don't be desperate! Guys are fun and cool, and dating is so appealing to us single gals, but if you lower your standards or change yourself just to get a guy, you probably won't be happy anyway. Whatever you do, don't rush into a relationship.
Try to focus on other things and all the things you can do while you're single--have independence for one! This is a great time of your life that you may never have again.
Also, look around. You may, like me, realize that there are a lot more great people who are single too. We just think everyone but us are dating cuz that's what society focuses on.
Hope this helps! Hang in there girl!

They are right. I won't lie to you, it's nice to have a boyfriend. But you can live without a boyfriend. Don't get all sad over it. It's okay to not have a boyfriend. Some people don't want boyfriends or girlfriends, because then you have to deal with the arguing and all those problems that couples have and all the presents and oh, so much. I don't see why the heck you can't have fun w/o a boyfriend. It's fun to go the the movies with a boyfriend, but hey you can still have fun going alone or with some just-friends. I have fun doing things without a boyfriend. Many happy, successful and happy people like Oprah and Amanda Bynes are boyfriendless/not married and they have good lives. Also, I see many normal women/teens who are single who have tons of fun and have good lives being single. You can have one, too.

It's not compulsory to have a boy friend. Of course if you are desperate you could become the village bike - but that will not bring you happiness. I am 60. When we married my wife was a virgin - very rare today - but it remains the aspiration of all young men - do not get Hung up on this issue. All will come right eventually and you are only just beginning. Just remember - in the end the blokes will respect you more for saying no - everybody has ridden the village bike.

I do not have a boyfriend either. Being in a relationship is a personal descion, if you need a consistant person to be by your side then yes, have a boyfriend but if you change friends or don't need the same person by your side then you don't need one. Either way go out with your friends and have a good time. When you are ready to a have a boyfriend then he will be there waiting for you.

Sounds like you have a good self esteem, "Charming, funny and smart" so you are OK, a boyfriend or a girlfriend for that matter can't give you that, so relax all in due time.... You don't like girls do you?... Kidding!

You should not have a boyfriend at 16. Date guys if you want, but you are way too young to worry about that stuff. Get good grades, get into college, and worry about a mate when you graduate. In the meantime, date guys here and there if you want, but NO BOYFRIENDS.

at only 16 you have plenty of time.Having a boyfriend should be a big factor now, your young enjoy life. Besides if you are constantly looking for a man you will only find mr. wrong. Mr. Right knocks when you least expect him to and your not looking. So have faith he will show up.

Yes, it is ok. There is nothing wrong with being single until you are ready to be in a relationship. Take your time and just enjoy life. Having a man in your life doesn't always mean being happy. Trust your heart and know that it is ok to go solo and there is nothing wrong with it. Besides most females who have mates in their lives only have them for show anyway. KEEP IN MIND THAT I SAID MOST WOMEN BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME TRUE RELATIONSHIPS OUT THERE.

Honey, I am 37 and don't have a boyfriend and I am having the time of my life. You do NOT need a boyfriend. Surround yourself around good, wholesome, honest, fun people and you will know what I mean. You have your whole life ahead of you to be involved with boyfriends....enjoy your youth....you wont have it forever you know.
