I’m 17 and never been kissed?

0

I feel so pathetic because I’ve never kissed anyone or been in a relationship and I’m 17!!!!! :( It just makes me feel so bad about myself and makes me feel like something is wrong with me, that’s why nobody has ever shown interest in me or wants to kiss me. :(

There is nothing wrong with you! There's plenty of seventeen year olds who have never been kissed. It can take some time to find someone that you want to be in a relationship with or someone that you'd like to kiss, and there's no need to rush. I'm 19 and I haven't been kissed yet, and there's plenty of people even in their twenties, thirties, and so forth who haven't been kissed yet. I understand that it can be upsetting to feel like you're missing out, but I'd like to recommend that you don't put your self-worth into getting kissed. You shouldn't have to feel bad about yourself or feel like you're not good enough because of this.

NOTHING is wrong with you for not having your first kiss yet. I'm 17, and I don't care if this sounds weird, but I'm proud of myself for having kissed only 2 guys. I'm proud that I'm not a slut and actually make out with guys because I like them, not just for the sake of kissing or because it feels good. I've been in one relationship, and since it ended, yeah sometimes I do feel undesirable because no one expressed interest in being in a relationship with me, but yeah you have to realize that you have no clue what other people are thinking. Maybe someone does like you and want to be in a relationship with you but is just too shy to say it. If a guy who didn't have his first kiss yet or who kissed very few girls wanted to kiss me, it would make me feel special, because he's selective about who he makes out with and yet he wants to kiss me. Sorry if this was too jumbled up to read lol.

Please dont feel pathetic. I completely get what you are feeling though! I was 17 and hadn't been kissed or been in a relationship and it does feel horrid. But now I'm nearly 18 and I have a boyfriend, and I completely did not expect it at all. You can NEVER see what is coming, so don't lose hope. I'm sure you've heard it many times before but you do NOT need another person to make you complete. Don't base your whole validity and worth on the opinions of others. You are an amazing person. I may not know you, but I honestly believe everyone is beautiful and amazing in their own ways, and I am certain that you aren't an exception. I can tell you, it IS wonderful to have a special someone, and they can make you feel better about yourself, but it is not everything by any means. And honestly, you are not at all alone in being 17 and never kissed or been in a relationship- I know many people who are the same. It is not weird at all, and it does not mean something is wrong with you. I am sure there is someone out there who will love and appreciate you for you. You will never know when that will happen, but when the time comes, it will have been worth the wait. Stay positive lovely. It's hard, but you've got to try :)

Don't under sell yourself just because you haven't gotten kissed or experienced physical intimacy with someone! Most people experience various things at different times based on their personality or relationships they happen to have. However in no way shape or form should you feel obligated or bad to have not kissed someone among other things that come after that. There are even some people that don't even lose their virginities until their mid to late 20s too. Point being is you're definitely not ugly and you just haven't found the right person to experience these things with yet. I would not pay attention to what people think about what you have or haven't experienced as they probably don't know anyways. Also these things shouldn't feel forced and should happen naturally when the time feels right for you. But don't worry once again about not having experienced being kissed just keep living your life with your head up friend and when the time comes you will have your first kiss among other firsts! But for the time being take care of yourself and focus on what you want to do to become the best version of yourself. (: Good Luck!

I was three months to my 18th birthday before I had my first kiss and boyfriend. Its not that no one is showing interest its just not the time yet. YOU will know when its the right time because YOU will chose the person.
