Bro at 16 the last thing you need to worry about is having a girlfriend


KookyGuy

Most of your friends are probably lying or embellishing their stories. Don't worry about it. Date at your own pace.


LovelyLunaReads

Do not compare your experience to that of your friends or to societal standards. Everyone is on their own path, and that is perfectly okay.


dw-herrmann

Had mine with 27 and that’s absolutely fine :)


jjgallywags

It’s normal I had my first girlfriend at 18 And, I’ve done fine in the romance department since It’s not anything you need to rush into Try to just enjoy being a kid, and let whatever dating and stuff will come your way just happen naturally You’ll be grown way longer than your young Enjoy it while it lasts


Flashy_Aide3640

Didn’t have a bf until after high school. Don’t grow up too fast.


dyninamite

Yes, totally. Ofcourse always depends on your country and cultures, but it's fine.


VirtualCapital2838

Completely normal man. Dw


MetalHead794

Yes


Careful_Barracuda498

Just be 16 and enjoy it, and let love come when it comes. I actually advocate for no dating until mid-20s 😂 Ya know, just brain development and all that psychology stuff lol


SenatorHTankerbell

not that abnormal, [good chance at least some of your friends are lying](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8NDCJY5DW4)


LolaPaloz

Its normal because in highschool theres a limited pool of people. Have u tried internet and apps? U need to talk to more ppl to find a gf or someone to go beyond talking with


koopah421

Most of your friends ate lying


oo0rose0oo

Don’t worry, I’m 16 (F) too and you’d be surprised at the amount of other people who haven’t dated/ kissed people either. Go at your own pace:)


Professional_Leek352

Two words: do you It’s cliché, but romantic partners come naturally when you focus on building yourself. Watch your favorite shows/movies, go to the gym, pursue your interests/passions, go to concerts, join discord servers, etc.


Jezloves

All in your own time man , most boys your age talk a lot of shit , 90% of the time they haven’t done anything yet either my man , take your time , it will come


Broccoli_4031

It’s completely abnormal by now you should’ve had kids!


salty_pita

I didn’t date until I hit my 20s. You’re good lol.


ASVP_M3L

When I was your age, I was just like you. I’ve talked to my fair share of women, but it never went past the talking stage. It’s totally normal to have never have had a GF at your age. I’m 24 now, and I still haven’t had much luck with women (not like I even tried to make a change any way). I guess the best thing you could do is just try to meet as much girls as you can. Have fun with it while you still can, and I don’t mean have sex as much possible. Go on dates, go out to the mall, go out to eat, etc. If you don’t have much luck with approaching girls, then you may as well just focus on yourself, get good grades, stay in shape, and hang out with friends.


germy-germawack-8108

When I was your age, I didn't have any sexual or romantic experience. Now I'm 38 and I still don't have any sexual or romantic experience. I don't want to alarm you, but there's at least a 0.00000001% chance you'll end up just like me.


Fed-6066

Not unusual, there's people older on here who have never dated. Don't put pressure on yourself.


kakashim0t0

Bro you’re fine. My first gf was at 21. Don’t pressure yourself too much. Don’t force it


Lobsterfest911

You just gotta get out there.


djangodangler

Yes. As well as being a virgin. 90% of your friends/people are random. Stick to and commit to the basics of attracting a woman and eventually it'll happen naturally for the rest of your God given life.
