Omg! I used to think the SAME way when I was your age!! When I was in elementary school, I had ONE girlfriend, and it lasted only one summer then she moved to Greece. It took me YEARS to make another girlfriend. I remember being so lonely in the summers, when everyone else was out having a good time, going to beaches and barbeques, and I'd be alone, I wouldn't go out and I'd cry myself to sleep. I couldn't understand why I was not like everyone else, and why I wasn't happy. To this day, I don't have many friends, and still am very lonely, I am just a little more used to it. I often wondered what could have been.....

^Just put in mind that maria718's comment was only there to remind you that you're not alone in this and that everyone gets through times where they feel lonely and misunderstood. What happens to others isn't exactly what's going to happen to you. Maybe one day you'll find someone to love , care and understand you in the most perfect way. Don't lose hope. Hugs.

when I was 16 going on 17 I was fending off my stepfather (when i was successful) and certainly wasn't allowed to date. Wasn't allowed out of the house.

I think dating as a teenager is overrated. Seriously overrated. I think it causes stress, and makes a person feel like a failure when they're perfectly normal.

If I could give anybody any advice at all it's don't date ever at all ever. but then I'm now a confirmed evil manhater... maybe I'll relent and say date when you're 18?

As to having a long relationship. Wait till you're 21 for that. Boys are icky.

I know it doesn't seem like it now,but you have many years ahead of you with many people yet to meet.In the meantime though-get involved with crafts and hobbies which interest you and you will meet others with the same interests..Also look into volunteer work-help you and others

You're at that age when most other people your age have attention spans of like 10 seconds. It's OK to have acquired a bit more depth. Maybe hang with some older women!
