Never dated or have been in love before, do you find this odd??

<p>Well..im in my first year of college..and I have never dated a guy before or been in love. Actually, I never been on a "date" with a guy before..but I have had crushes in high school.
Gosh..Idk..I feel weird cuz all my friends have been in relationships before and I havent..
Is this normal??? I dont know if I can find the right guy in college anytime soon. I'm just not good at talking with guys..I get nervous and shy...anybody in the same boat as I am??</p>

<p>I’m a guy, also in first year of college, and have never dated anyone either. So there you go.</p>

<p>Maybe it’s not normal (it’s not uncommon either), but you are what you are.</p>

<p>I’ve never been in a relationship. But that’s mostly because I am/I used to be more of a hook-up person. I personally can’t find anything odd about that, but then I am not the most normal person there is.</p>

<p>I hadn’t until March of my freshman year. And I am marrying him after graduation. Surprise! Sometimes love sneaks up on you like that. :)</p>

<p>Nobody cares. Stop worrying and go do whatever you want.</p>

<p>Twisted - WOW! your getting married after high school??? Thats crazzzy! That is way too young to get married!! I think the ideal age to get marry is 25. lol</p>

<p>chuy - If you dont care, dont bother answering my post!!!</p>

<p>I was really shy and still am really shy, but in my freshmen year of HS a girl asked me out (I was like whoa) and we went out for like 9 months. Never had a GF after that because I’m way too shy and I honestly dont have the guts to ask anyone out. I’m worried about whats gonna happen in college lol.</p>

<p>Omg lyke, itz totalli not normal lololol!111 whut r u, lyke a freak or sumthin?/??/</p>

<p>[*** sort of question is this, exactly? Are you seriously so shallow and self-centered that you’d think you’re the only one in the world who hasn’t been in a relationship before college? Christ, get over yourself!]</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure Twisted is talking about freshman year of college, not highschool, considering from her other posts that she’s in college right now.</p>

<p>I’m a hookup person too. I like flirting and making out and casual relationships, but I don’t want all the compromise and sacrifice and being tied down that I think would come with a long term relationship. It’s great for most people I guess, but not for me. I want to be one of those career women who just stay single. :wink: Friendship is important to me, though.</p>

<p>my D never had a BF but she had a lot of boys asking her out in HS! I don’t know why she said “no” all the time… i know she is shy… but not extremely shy neither!! now she is a Freshman 2000 miles away from home and maybe now she will say “yes”…</p>

<p>I agree with chuy.</p>

<p>I was VERY, VERY close to this one girl, but that was as close as I’ve gotten to a relationship. She was already seeing someone at the time…currently: I really don’t care, I flirt with girls and would rather have fun then “commit”–when I think of this, I think of really serious obligations and I feel “tied down”. Maybe that’s not entirely rational/true, but I have a negative connotation of this whole relationship stuff…hahahha I think its weird that not everyone on this board is all about relationships!!! Hook up FTW!</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>LMAO!</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>If I can recall correctly, Twisted attends UM–Ann Arbor at the moment, so she meant that she is getting married after she graduates from college.</p>

<p>Yes, absolutely. I have never dated, been asked out, or even had close guy friends at all in high school. Now, in my freshman year of college, I am again in the same position. Perhaps this is because talking to guys I like makes me extremely nervous, and I’m sure this does not help portray the confident, sexy girl image all men seem to adore. It also has to do with the fact that I find most guys, in high school and in college, to be a bit too immature for me. But…maybe I’ll get lucky like TwistedxKiss…exactly what did you do to finally get out of your shell?</p>

<p>east89 is correct, after we finish our bachelors degrees. I met him freshman year of college. I thought it was self explanatory since the OP said she was a freshman in college and I was relating to her. Whoops!</p>

<p>In high school guys wouldn’t even give me the time of day. I remember I had a crush on a guy in 10th grade though and we’d been assigned to work together on a project, and the first words out of his mouth were, “so do you like hate me or something or are you just quiet?” Apparently my shyness had been misconstrued. I became a lot more confident in college so I guess it worked out. I’m still really quiet but I met another quiet one. :)</p>

<p>I’m not sure I really did anything, for me I think I just sort of came to accept myself as I got older. I’m still just as quiet but maybe I give off a different vibe now. I got a job and started doing volunteer work too, which gave me other things to think about besides all the guys that weren’t talking to me. :stuck_out_tongue: Once I stopped worrying about it I had like four or five guys all lining up and I had my pick of the bunch. I honestly still do not understand that one bit, I think I am the girlfriend from Hell, but David seems to like me well enough still after two years. XD I really think if you are a good person sooner or later it will happen for you-- most likely when you least expect it. I never would have imagined I’d end up with David when I met him, but he seemed nice so I gave him a shot and SURPRISE! Best decision I ever made.</p>

<p>Have dated, am dating. However, I am not a “love” person. I dislike even using the word.</p>

<p>A more accurate expression someone would hear from me is “I like you, but I’m not in like with you.”</p>

<p>I’ve never really dated or had a boyfriend, and I’d prefer a relationship over a “hook-up”. I’m just boring and traditional like that :p. </p>

<p>…However, I am in love with someone :).</p>

<p>I never really dated in high school. I gave up on all the guys at my school. All the decent guys were taken. I had a really horrible experience in Jr. High (long story short: I was dating two guys at the same time. They had planned it like that. Very, VERY awkward) and one of them still went to my school (the other one reappeared second half of my senior year, THAT was an experience.) So yeah, Didn’t date much in high school.</p>

<p>never dated or been in relationship. Sophomore year in college, but falling in love with a girl. Sad life for me. How could i tell her? :(</p>
