Your not the only one Masara, my sister never had a boyfriend ever, then she got married, and the only date she probably went on was with her hubby before their marriage.! She perfectly happy in her married life, even though she had no experience with boys. Although I have had a boyfriend before a couple of years ago.

If you dont feel like going into a relationship as of now, then don't worry or don't stress yourself into why you have not been in a relationship. Let things go as they are and in flow, your 22yrs old which is still young.

Well, yes, you're right reira. That could be possible if we stop comparing ourselves to other. We should be aware of our own uniqueness and capabilities. Are you like this, guys?

Dating is a choice and not a requirement. There is nothing "wrong" or "abnormal" about not dating. A relationship is something you do not want to enter into until you are ready.

I guess you have a point Kyles. I don't know if it was explain to her. Do you think it could somehow help her change her perception towards relationship? What could be some other options?

You are not alone, masara. I did not have a boyfriend until I finished college. I had my first boyfriend at the age of 22. It's better to enjoy a relationship when you are not dpendent on your parent's for support.

I don't have girlfriend
I never had any girlfriend also. So I have not much worried about that.
So enjoy other relationship and forget that.

I think you just answered your own question I honestly believe there is no set age where you HAVE to do anything and it really upset me that society seems to always pressure us and tell us otherwise. I think focusing on your goals first is best and if you meet a guy along the way great?

I'm curious..do you feel pressured to date and why?

You are very lucky!! (and wise) I have had many boyfriends and all I got out of it was knowledge about relationships.

I didn't even have my first kiss until I was 17 years old. I think as teeneagers we all come under some sort of peer pressure to be more 'into' dating and all the things that go along with it, but I think it's wrong.

I have never let anyone make me fell that I 'should' be doing something before I am ready, there is no rush.

I see what happens with the teenagers I teach. They will be committed hard workers until they start dating. Suddenly they start slacking and that is bad when you are in your last year of school. I only got married when I was 27 and I have never regretted that. I never had any very serious relationship before that. I believe you will know when you are ready for a relationship.

Take your damn spam elsewhere cocosan.

It's all depend on thinking. You don't have a boy friend because you don't want it or you want but didn't find. If you never wanted then it's ok and it's not a matter of shame of not having a boyfriend. It's also possible that you want but didn't find a person of your choice. It happens. Don't make boy friend just for the sake of it. Making boy friend is not a practical thing. It's a matter of emotions. It happens obvious that two people start liking each other.

I'm confused.. did I miss something?

yes, there was a spam post advertising some escort
service, which must have been deleted by the admin.

Gotcha lol. I was like.. ummm.. I thought I was blind or something!!!

Maybe the reason that Masara hasn't had a boyfriend is because she's a little afraid of men. I knew some girls who grew up in a very selfish environment and had strict parents, so they weren't allowed to date or even talk to boys.

Well. My dear sister is already 28 and she never had boy friend in her entire life. She is a career woman - a very busy employee. I don't know why she never had a boy friend, but I think it is because she is afraid that our strict parents would know about it. LOL. Or probably she hasn't found the right guy yet.

I think it's okay to be a career woman or very work-minded. Work is something that's productive for lots of people, and it produces results that can often be very satisfying. For some people, that's the only stability in their lives.

As they say, different strokes for different folks. Everyone is allowed to make their own choices and live with them. Though I still think that it is great to hang out with guys from early adulthood even if you don't want to date them. There is a lot to learn from guys about guys

Don't worry about it masara. From your posts I can tell that you don't want a boyfriend yet and that's okay. I think you're only worried because "most" people your age have had a lot of relationships and you don't. It's okay because it's your choice. Forget what other people would think. It's your life so you should decide when to have a bf.
