I’m 17 and never had a boyfriend or my first kiss. Should I be ashamed of that? Is there something wrong with me?

Question

Answer

There is absolutely nothing wrong with not having a boyfriend, or not having your first kiss yet! :)
I feel that generally around your age, there is a lot of pressure to begin being romantically and sexually involved with somebody. A lot of people feel that if they aren't up to par with those around them, that they are somehow lesser, or are flawed in someway, but this is no where near true! 
Everybody is different and has different experiences. Please try not to rush yourself or feel pressured, everything comes in its own time. At the tender age of 17, you have a lot ahead of you to look forward to! Take time for yourself and appreciate that you are worth the wait in many regards :)

Answer

My boyfriend is 17 and I’m his first girlfriend and first everything actually. I wasn’t even a virgin when I met him. It just depends on the person! Nothing to be ashamed about, some people like to wait. Everyone’s different :)

Answer

Answer

one of my friends is 27 and never kissed anyone. perfectly normal.

Answer

I was my husbands very first kiss and he was almost 17, heck I was his first EVERYTHING never had a serious girlfriend before me. And he even waited almost a whole year to kiss me.  Nothing to be ashamed of! I honestly wish I hadn’t had my first kiss until I was older. Mine was pretty much stolen from me when I was 14 at a church dance by my older guy friend who asked me to dance then pushed me into a corner and tried to make out with me... thank goodness for my mom buying me my first pair of high heals because I crushed his foot real good trying to get free from him.  Kisses are sweet and special and much more enjoyable if it’s with someone special to you

Answer

I’m in the same boat girl. Im 17 and so many of my friends have dated people. I feel behind, but there’s also no one at my school I would ever want to date so...

Answer

Not at all! Honestly I wish I waited. I had made out for the first time with the same guy I lost my virginity to at 16, and only because I felt so pressured into it being I was popular in highschool and everyone found out i actually was a virgin. And I’d take it back. My best friend just lost hers virginity at 20. And she did it just to do it and I secretly wish I could’ve traded with her and waited until i found a man worthy of giving myself to. Never feel embarrassed.

Answer

it ok that just will make ur first that much more special

Answer

thats totally normal hun ! i'm also 17 and have never had a proper boyfriend, i've just never felt that proper connection with anyone !

Answer

I meant to press ‘No’ but it pressed ‘Yes’ 😩 
There is nothing wrong with you. You’re just gonna wait until the right one comes your way. The wait will be worth it as my friends say since I haven’t had my first kiss either.
