relationship help: I’m embarrassed that I’m eighteen and I’ve never been in a relationship. - Help.com

I’m embarrassed that I’m eighteen and I’ve never been in a relationship.

I understand I have “my whole life ahead of me” but I feel like I’m missing out on so much and I feel like there’s something wrong with me. My best friend has been in numerous steady relationships and has had sex and I wish the same would happen to me. I’m going to college in a few weeks and my two roommates both have boyfriends and I feel pathetic that I’m so inexperienced. Of course being in college gives me opportunities to meet new people but I don’t think I would find anyone there that would be interested in me. I really wish I wasn’t so insecure with myself and could find someone to be with so I’ll stop feeling this way.

In your age bracket–high school–there frankly wasn’t a lot to choose from, was there?

Let me say that you should not compare yourself to others. This isn’t a race. It isn’t a competition. There’s no prize given for who has sex first or who gets pregnant first.

Concentrate on your studies. Be affable. Project confidence. Make friends. You’ll meet Mr. Right down the road. Just don’t settle for Mr. Right Now, and you’ll be fine!
