Hi makeuptalk!
I don't want to come across as needy or brushed off as 'another teen', but I was hoping this forum could give me some good insight; insight into a problem I cannot seem to understand or master. I'm seventeen, turning eighteen next year, and I'm in my first year of college, but have never managed to find myself in a relationship. I've never had a boyfriend, and as much as I know my destiny in life is not getting a boyfriend, a part of me is concerned that there is a deeper underlying reason. I have been to a couple parties in high school where I forced myself to kiss a few boys simply because I hoped it would unlock some new level and I would suddenly find it easier to have a relationship; but alas, I did not level up.
So I guess I want to know if it's normal? I seem to have skipped a lot of social growth, having been quite emotionally dependant in high school until I realized all my friends were 'deeply in love', and then I felt lonely. And when I graduated last year and went straight onto more study, my classmates are all over twenty-five, and although I seem to relate to their way of thinking more, I still don't feel like I should.
Am I in a bit of a relationship dead zone? And do you have any advice for a socially awkward girl who is studying art and loves animated movies to find a nice relationship?
I guess more to the point is, should I be worried about this?
