All my friends have at least kissed one, and most of my friends are in relationships and are really happy. Is this honestly normal for me to be nearly 14 and not have any relationship experiance. Also, what signs should I be looking out for to tell if someone likes me? Reply to this Question Share |

Bahaha! I didn't have any kind of experience until I was sixteen! Don't AT ALL feel bad about not having had any experience yet. Boys your age don't know much about having a girlfriend anyway. It's all just about sex and mind-games at this point. Just enjoy being with your friends and enjoy growing up. You'll have PLENTY of time to experience dating. Believe me.

Listen: You're almost 14, you're young! This should be the least of your worries. All that you would get out of a relationship that age is a broken heart. You shouldn't have to worry about relationships for a while, it'll be too dramatic otherwise. I'm 17, I'm still not in a relationship (by choice!), because when I was your age I wanted a boyfriend so badly and here I am 3 years later PREFERING not to have one, but just wait a little bit, you'll get a boyfriend in time. For right now the only relationships you should focus on is with your friends and family.
As far as kissing is concerned, it'll come naturally. See those hot couples kissing on TV? Just look at them.
And tips? You'll just know. It's when they look at you, and they way they smile at you. You'll be able to tell. But, seriously, don't be concerned about relationships for a while.

I didn't get my first girlfriend until I was nearly 17. You've got plenty of time yet. Besides, teenage boys aren't exactly the greatest boyfriends either. Most of those happy friends you have will be unhappy this year when they get hurt. Take your time, get to know some guys and when the right one comes along, you'll be fine. Don't set yourself up for pain.

I wasn't in a relationship til 10th grade. Normal is what feels right to you. Don't rush something just cuz your friends are doing it. It'll happen when the right time comes.

Yes it is completely normal and I would not pursue a relationship at that age, everyone is still immature and unknowing of what it is they feel. You are all still growing so do not feel ashamed of never having had a relationship yet. Be patient and do not let the nonsensical words of your 'peers' sway your mind.
I hope that helps.

Hey(:
Awe that's so cute don't worry if the boy haven't come around it's fine. It's noting bad you still young alot of people haven't been kiss it's okay don't worry your time well happen. Wouldn't you rather want your fist kiss to be with a boy that you like or just a boy to kiss. So it's okay take your time and find a boy you won't regret kissing. When boys go out of their way to be with you or talk to you that's when you know they like you.
Good Luck
