How common is it for someone to have had no "action" from the opposite s*x during their teens?

Question

Most people seem to have had at least a few relationships in high school and even middle school. When I was younger, I was a really late bloomer (I looked like a freshman when I was a senior). So I never ever came even close to having a girlfriend in middle school or high school. I don't think a single girl ever had any interest in me until I was 18 years old. So my question is: How common is it for people to have been like me- having no "action" or attention from the opposite s*x at all until age 18?

(If you had no relationships or s*x or anything by your own CHOICE, that doesn't count. I wanted girls but it was basically out of the question for me.)

Answer 1

I am sure this is really common, although it always seems like everyone else is getting together. I certainly didn't have any relationships/interactions with any of my peers during High School!

I do remember not particularly being attracted to anyone my own age, but I was certainly at times open to the idea and because of all the hormones and everything, I often found something attractive in anyone and everyone!

I don't think it should be used as a measure of attractiveness or self-esteem, it is just one of these things sometimes.

Answer 2

Thats happening to me now sort of and its not that Im not pretty ppl say that I am all the time but nothing's happening. Im in high school now 9th grade.

Answer 3

Who said it was out of the question? Hind sight is 20/20. You can't fix yesterday. You might one day be kinda glad you didn't. You also have to take the risk at being told no. I don't think there is anyone that has not heard that word. Have a good life.

Answer 4

Answer 6

i'm 18 now and i haven't even had my first kiss haha. it sucks. i'm not trying to toot my horn, but i'm not bad looking, i'm smart, and people say i'm one of the nicest kids in school. but i don't do much partying and all the girls say i'm kind of like a brother to them so i'm afraid to try to take things to the next level and risk losing a friendship. i know my day will come though
