To the ones who have never had a boyfriend, do you ever sit there and panic that you’ll never be loved? Because that’s me rn, 18, never had a bf. And I’ve had crushes, they just never like me back. Idk what to do. I feel so alone and empty at this point

I think you should make time right now to fall in love with you. Your not missing out on anything especially during a time like this. Men are selfish and want to be treated like a girlfriend in times like these. Trust me. Please don’t think your missing out on something. Maybe your being saved from something. Please don’t let this go over your head. U don’t want to be like alot of us and end up in situations you can’t get out of.

I’m 24 and I’ve never dated before. I have fallen in love with my own company and ngl, I don’t know if I wanna date. My standards have been raised by the added peace I have as well as, again, enjoying my own company.

I had my first bf at 23 so don’t worry. You can’t force love it comes naturally. I tried to force it and put myself in a really bad situation

I'm 22, turning 23 in 3 weeks. I understand this so hard. I have very low self-esteem so I'm trying to learn how to love myself. I'm also sort of discovering that I might be aromantic. I've almost gone on dates and then gotten ghosted, but every single time before a date I feel so anxious and gross that I want to throw up. It's all about learning, I guess.

I’m 19 going on 20 in sept and have never dated even though my family is always pushing me to. Yes I had this thought for a while but once I realized that what’s meant for me will find me when it’s the right time I stopped worrying. And in the time of singleness you’re in embrace it! You’re single, no kids, and young. Go live, get your degree, travel, and have standards. Learn yourself and in time you’ll meet someone who wants to learn yourself as well. ❤️

It feels urgent at that age but trust me - you have so much time. I wish I would have taken more time to develop myself rather than trying to get validation from a relationship when I was younger.

YES I FELT THIS, THIS WAS ME THE ENTIRETY OF HIGH SCHOOL!! Had a lot of crushes, no one ever had a crush on me, & never had a bf. All of my friends had bfs before me, even my lil sisters. I was EXTREMELY lonely and anxious about it (couldn’t talk to guys point blank), and I eventually concluded I was going to be alone forever. Now I’m 21 and have a bf of 2.5 years. It can be SO SO luck based girl and it can happen so suddenly. If you want to have a relationship one day I promise you will 💚

Also, have you tried a weighted blanket, and a couple good sex toys? Because that will do wonders too. Just saying, that makes me feel a little better. Might not be for everyone tho.

Thank you!!! I really hope I can find someone. All my friends, well most minus like 2, have boyfriends and they’re always telling me “you’re not missing out on anything” but I feel so behind. I’m just coming to the end of my a levels this year, going to university in September and Im staying at home so I know I’m not going to make friends like most people will with their dorm friends.

So that means I won’t meet people, therefore meaning no boyfriend. Sorry for the rant. But yeah, that’s me rn 😭🥲

1st: I love a rant. 2nd: …are we about to live the same college experience? I swear I had the exact same mindset— no bf in hs so why should college be any different? College was SO different. There’s so many more different ppl to meet, it’s so much easier to find ur ppl. I signed up for a pre-semester team building thing on a whim and met my bf and half my friend group. I think that’s my best advice: get involved and say yes to as many opportunities as u can! Everyone else wants to meet ppl too!

AHHH thank youuu! I definitely will. My uni doesn’t have many unions/clubs tbh. But there’s a couple I have my eyes on. I hope I just meet some friends tbh. I have a few friends I still stay in contact with who don’t go to my hs anymore, so ik I’ll still be in contact with them during uni but idk about anyone else. I just want to experience somethinggggg yk?! 🥲😭
