Don't worry, girl. I am 20 years and I still don't have an actual boyfriend, but I have many close guy friends. For example, I have three guy friends who are like boyfriends, except minus sexual attraction. There is no maximum age to start dating. I believe that the best thing to do is find some guys that you value as friends, and then decide who you would like as a boyfriend. Good luck!

Lots of people feel bad about themselves at your age...15 is a difficult age! However, it is totally normal NOT to have a boyfriend at 15 (or any other age for that matter). There is enormous pressure on teenagers to have a date these days but the reality of the situation is that girls often settle for dating 'not so perfect' guys (as this website shows) just to have a boyfriend. Being in an unsuitable relationship can make your life really horrible. You also have to realise that boys of your age are not always as mature as girls. It is better to wait a few years for boys to catch up in the maturity stakes - when you go to college in a few years time, or out to work you will have lots of opportunities to meet lots of guys. In the meantime, you shouldn't just grab the first boy who shows any interest in you - wait it out for someone to come along who really treats you well. You need to work on that self esteem too - everyone has a 'bad hair day' but you shouldnt think you are unattractive or count your attractiveness by the number of glances you get from the opposite sex...lots of boys will find you attractive and lots of girls develop their looks at the later age...I know I certainly looked better in my 20's than my teens for example.
