Well, that depends. Have you been trying and failing to go out with people? If so, you may be cursed to either another 5 years of alienation and unhappiness or a radical self-recreation. If you haven’t been looking, then that’s perfectly natural. The point of dating is to either get laid or gain deep personal connection, and if you haven’t had the desire to do either, there’s no reason why you should. I am strongly against dating as a social function. That’s what friendship’s for.

There’s nothing wrong with not having a boyfriend or not dating at that age. Could be because you’re too shy or are not ready. When you get older or when the time comes, you’ll have your first boyfriend/date.

Yeah, plenty of people don’t date when they are as young as 14. There is nothing wrong with you. You really do not need to stress out about this. You will probably find that dating get’s easier and more natural when you get to high school.

When I was 14 I never thought of dating :P

You have so much ahead of you, high school, college, life.

Just be yourself and do things with friends, like sports and things will just develop by themselves.

But don’t make boys on the top of your list, you need to think of yourself, learn useful things, watch your health, your self esteem, your dreams, what do you want to be?, Be independent and strong to do things on your own, smile, be helpful, and have a good attitude towards people, love will come your way naturally. Good luck.

you’re doin nothing wrong, i’m a junior in high school and seriously, dating is overhyped, people always have to have a gf/bf for some reason… i don’t know why but trust me, being single is fun. no worries no need to worry about how your partner feels. relationships are so much freakin WORK!!! and then you break up, and all goes away… sigh….

at that age a boy/girl friend is more about statis then anything real, people have then so that other people will talk about it. I am 16 and have never had a girl friend, and realy I don’t want one. I have a friend and she does not want to date at all until she is 18, try listening to the song “Barlow Girls” by Superchic[K]. the is power in waiting.

showing off your body with definitely get guys attention, I know cuz it always get my attention. I’m 15 and it kinda sucks with everyone around you dating and having girlfriends (or in your case boyfriends) but I try and preoccupy myself with work, school, rowing, and chores.

Don’t let not having a guy get to you, you’re pretty all you have to do is shower everyday and hang out wth guys naturally. Just be fun and happy, be someone you would want to hang out with, you wouldn’t want a desperate clingy obnoxious person so don’t be that person
