Am I miss out on things?

Question - (10 August 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 10 August 2009)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Hey all. Im 17, and so is my boyfriend. We have been together two years. Dont get me wrong, our relationship is fine; we have ups and downs but who doesnt. I love him, and imagine one day starting a life with him and all sorts.

The only thing is, lately, i've been feeling....Well, as though i've been missing out. Everyone always says their teenage years were the best, but to be honest, I haven't 'explored' much when it comes to boys. He is my first real boyfriend, my first kiss and everything. I'm glad that he was, but I guess what im trying to say is i wish i could have seen what else is out there.

Are these feelings totally childish and immature? Or am I really missing out?

Any views and opinions will be helpful here!! Thanks!!

Dear Curious-You are not the first person to wonder what it's like out there. For an example: I started my life living in New Jersey; then we moved to Illinois ; then we moved to Memphis Tenn; From there I moved to; Key West Fla; then I moved to San Francisco Ca; Then I moved to Rhode Island; and now Im in a different state. You know what in each of those places; you can still buy a Pepsi and a Burger. ( I have ONLY been to Canada and the Grande Bahamas Islands out of the country). I have dreams about going to Japan and Africa; you'd think Id be tired of all the moving but Im not. Its not all about places because there is people in all these places too. I feel that most of the time I could get along with the people no matter where I was and that includes any girlfriend I had. The same would apply to you except with a boyfriend. When I was young I had no one telling me what to do good or bad. So it took me longer to grow up than most kids. I wanted the help of an adult but they were always out chasing the dollar. At 16 I left and never looked back but I dont suggest anyone do this for its not easy to live on your own without a trade. I hide this part of my life usually. It took me a while to get into an occupation where I could travel hense my traveling. I didnt have lots of different girlfriends but I had a few and they were nice and fun. I basically date now only because I have a sister (who I care for) who has MS. So I tell you if you wish to do anything different--then do it now? And dont be down on yourself--give yourself some credit ok? Take Care.

Starlights agony auntI always believe everyone has their own paths to follow in life.

some do go through that teenage stage where they have tons of partners

BUT then there are others who are more mature and lucky to find just one partner who makes them happy.

You may feel you are missing out, but truthfully your not missing out at all.

If your bf treats you well then your very fortunate.

Many people go through hundreds of partners before they meet someone special.

The feelings you have arent childish or immature, your just curious to know what the "other" life is like and thats normal.

Good luck!
