when i say real relationship I dont mean sex in the relationship i just mean two people that date hang out and that can talk about nothing and about life.

Friend, don't worry about it. I know it feels super weird to see all your friends get together and leave you behind, but it's not abnormal at all. If there's some issue keeping you from dating- get it addressed. But if not, hey, it just means your first boy will be that much more special. I really don't think guys will care that you've never had a boyfriend; in fact, it probably makes you more appealing. :)

Incredibly normal I think - depends what you mean by a real relationship though?? Do you mean sex?? I didn't love somebody for real until I was 25, so I guess that seems old to a 17 year old, but I dated way before that. You're fine. You're too young to be worried, and who cares what guys think???? Don't rule your life by what other people think, just enjoy with your girlfriends, and when you find a guy you like, then go for it!!

I was 13. I thought it was real. I think I still do. We dated. We hung out with our friends. It was probably the best relationship I've ever had. There weren't the complications that people have now. No sex. No babies. It was so innocent.

My first boyfriend was at 17 but it wasn't even all that much... my first "real" relationship started in college at 18.

I didn't get into my first real relationship until I was 19.

Totally normal. In fact, that's just fine. Like it or not, most guys want to "f" with the girls who've been putting out since 13, but want to "be" with the girls who are real. You're one of the real ones.
So stay real to yourself, and believe me, guys will be all over you in then next few years.

Chill I'm 17 and I just had my first real boyfriend , love and heartache in one. You are cool there's no rush. And guys think that you are a respectable girl and they know when you tell them you love them it's sincere.

~It doesn't really matter what guys would think about it. You're not involved with any. On the other hand, when you're ready to get involved, do you want to be involved by someone who would be bothered by your lack of history? Yes? Then you are still not ready to be involved with anyone.

My first was at 19. There is absolutely nothing wrong with you. He just hasn't come along yet. Your time will come.

I was 17 and I moved out with the guy... but move at your own pace! When you meet him you'll meet him, don't rush it.
