I was almost 18 before i had my first relationship, and at first i was really happy, but it wore off and yeah ended up being a very stressfull year. anywho, when your young being single is sooo much easier, you can do what ever you want, no restrictions or dependancies, you are more free then youl ever be.
just look at all the positive things about being single, i guess when your 18 your understand more, you wont be able to go out for a few beers with the boys without your girlfriend worrying/not wanting you to go out, your girlfriend wont like you going out to nightclubs and stuff. you always have someone you need to report to.
My advise is enjoy it while you can, youve got plenty of life ahead to get yourself wrapped up in all sorts of relationships
I would like to disagree with Porman. Never actually been on a date, I can say life is extremely lonely. Not having someone to hold in bed with, not having someone to kiss, hold hand, cuddle up, but most importantly not having someone to love you is quite debilitating. To the OP, I'm only a couple of year ahead of you, and I still few like this mighty times. It break my heart, sometime I question my existence; and something I feel burn out. Some people say it life, and life dealt you a bad hand, maybe for a ridiculously amount of times (years), there still to be little hope, but were both still young. Like you said, your only 17, and if I'm correct you'll be going to college next fall? Well there plenty of time to meet either a gf/bf, I'm not sure what gender you are.
I guess its all up to your attitude in life. iv had both experiences, and as soon as a broke up with my girlfriend, i felt relieved, no more stress.
I agree that being in a relationship is a wonderful thing, tho i beleive at a young age you dont need it. dont let it get you down, Always remember that the bad comes with the good. you will learn once you get in a relationship that it my not always be as perfect as you would have thought/hoped.
All i was trying to say really was that there is plenty of fun to be had being single. its all about your attitude. i myself am pretty lonely, tho i dont seek a girlfriend as the cure. Im more searching for close friends and activities, do things with friends, go places, go on an adventure, live life, and most of all a job lol
Girlfriends are great but not always the answer. I probably felt the sadest ever when i was in a relationship, it was going sour lol. tho everyones experience is different i guess. I know the feeling of never having a girlfriend, it sucks. i felt like i would prob never have one. its that feeling thats worse then the feeling of not having a girlfriend. But i guess thats me, im not the type of person that needs one, not now anyway.
