Guys, how did you meet your boyfriend/girlfriend?
I’m almost 19, and I’ve never been in a relationship, and honestly, it bothers me. I’ve never experienced that teenage romance, the insanely in-love gaze, or the feeling that a certain person is my “destiny.”
When I was a teenager, I just wasn’t ready for a relationship or intimacy. Around two years ago, I realized that I was open to this experience, but by then, the problem was that there were no suitable candidates.
Call me shallow, but everyone looks at appearance. And I’m no exception—it’s important to me that my partner is physically attractive and that we match in character, values, interests, etc. But all the guys who have ever shown interest in me weren’t very attractive and didn’t appeal to me at all.
Now I’m sitting here wondering—am I the problem, or are there other factors? I’d really appreciate it if you shared your stories.
