writes: i'm almost 18 years old and have never had a boyfriend and i've left school. i'm at work where everyone i work with is married or with a partner. i do go out and i don't get to see my friends. the only time i get to see someone is at college every Thursday but there are only a few of us at college. being single has not bothered me before its just as i get older i keep wondering if i will ever have a boyfriend or if i will ever fall in love. i know your gonna say i'm too young to think about this but everyone i know is settling down and it worries me that i will be single for the rest of my life.

Fancy yourself as an agony aunt? Add your answer to this question! A reader, R.C., writes (8 February 2005): The reason why you know I'm going to say you're so young to be worrying about this, is because you know it's true! There's no way I can say this without it becoming cliched, but love hits you like a bolt from the blue, and it does it when you least expect it. I have a friend who has fallen in love at the age of 33! You can imagine how 'on-the-shelf' she'd been feeling until then, but she has never been happier, and she certainly isn't resenting the fact that she had to wait for this guy to enter her life.If you want a chance to meet people, start going to a class or something in the evenings, if you can spare the time. Language classes are great because you'll HAVE to talk to other people regardless of how shy you might be. Essentially, my answer is no, you aren't on the shelf. There is no set time when people have to get themselves hitched, and the fact that many of your friends have partners is no reflection on you at all.
