Ok so I don't have a boyfriend. I am 17 years old and have had one boyfriend when I was 15 and it only lasted a month or so. I can see myself with a boyfriend and sometimes wish for a boyfriend but don't want one usually. Am I just really independant? I do like to be alone a lot. I like it when i'm the only one in my house out of all my family members. I do have friends and enjoy spending time with them but I like it when i'm alone. I want to have a baby when i'm around 25 or so but am I just doomed to not be with any guy? I am really shy and I do like a few guys but I never really talk to any guys and don't really want a boyfriend a lot of the time. Am I just so independant that I will never need a boyfriend?

There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with you at all. YOU have a perfectly good idea of what you like, and what you want, so don't let anyone tell you that you have to go get into a relationship before you're ready. The only thing you are "doomed" to be, is bugged by people who can't stand to let you live your own life happily... And When you are ready to get out there and start meeting men, you'll find the one who is loves to stay at home too.... Independence isn't a virus, its a gift in a world where most people your age are so busy following the crowd, that they must wait to see an outfit on a music video before they can get dressed in the morning.

17 is kind of young. But you do sound numb. Like you're not really aware of all the feelings you have. Did you feel the loss of that 1 month relationship. Or did it just kind or fade away and wasn't really a 'big deal' when it broke up. People who are 17(and almost any age above 11) usually spend quite a bit of time thinking about romance. You are probably no different but may have a lot of ways to avoid thinking about it.
Try to think about the feelings surrounding that last relationship. Maybe it wasn't the right one for you but why didn't you try again? Why did you give up?

Nothing is wrong with you. Don't worry if you don't have a boyfriend.
You mentioned you are shy. Work on that. Work on ways of getting to know people, of talking and approaching people you don't know well.
Not having a boyfriend now does not mean you will not have one, nor does it mean you are too independent.

a lot of people are that way as far as a child goes you can adopt a child who needs a family by yourself or you can go to a sperm bank you don't need a man in your life to have baby in the future.

stop worring so much. one day the best guy will come around before you know it. he might be someone you know right now and don't even realize. stop looking and then you will see.
