Okay, so here's the story. Im 17 now, and I've never had a boyfriend. I know it's not the end of the world. Theres two ways of looking at it, and I'm confused.
First, many people have told me that they're a bit jealous that I'm 'pure' when it comes to guys. I dont know if that even made any sense, but basically this comes from people who tend to go 'too far' with their boyfriends/girlfriends, and then regret it later because they feel like they gave away a part of themselves.
The second viewpoint is how I kind of tend to look at it, which is ''I'm behind everybody else, is something wrong with me?" I'm not fishing for compliments here, I'm just being honest. But I feel like every single person I know has either dated in the past or is currently dating, and then I'm surrounded with people telling me just how amazing their boyfriend is and they went on a date and it was oh so cute blah blah. Another thing that might contribute to the problem is that I have an older sister and she gets so much guy attention it literally drives me nuts. Partially because I'm jealous, and partially because they always end up talking to ME to get information about HER. I bet that if they weren't interested in her, they wouldn't even bother talking to me to begin with, because I'm not 'good enough.' It gets on my nerves and I just wish they would ask her instead of coming to me, the middleman (woman?).
Another thing that bugs me to death is the fact that I want the attention she has. And I want it a lot. Which is crazy, because why in the world would I want some guy to like me when God himself loves me no matter what I do?! I keep reminding myself that no human love equals His, but when I'm surrounded with lovey couples its easy for me to forget that.
I dont even know what my question for this post is, I just felt like I needed to get this out of my system because I'm tired of keeping it to myself and I just want to get rid of it before it accumulates into a nuclear bomb.
P.S. You may respond with whatever you wish.
