Hey Mystery Man, Ok im 15 and never had a boyfriend... i guess i should leave it like that, but i dont want to be alone 4ever.! So what u think i should do?

First, take a deep, calming breath. You are not going to be alone forever. Fifteen is, in my opinion, the very start of when actual dates can start happening. Before fifteen, most "dates" that kids go on consist of hanging out on living room couches or potentially eating lunch at the same lunch table. At fifteen or sixteen, you could potentially start driving places, and you have enough money to get dinner or see a movie. And, importantly, at fifteen, parents actually start leaving you alone on dates.

So it's not like you've spent decades missing out on true love. You're going to be just fine. If you want to date, give yourself some opportunities to do so. You're likely going to meet any future boyfriends at school, but also consider joining some clubs and doing some extracurriculars. Increase the amount of time you spend around other people, make sure people know what your interests are, and you're going to find a boyfriend. At your age, potential boyfriends are everywhere.

How about you focus on other things. I don't say that to be condescending because you're young, I say that because you don't have any idea how lucky you are right now at this age. You literally have forever to think about boys and dating. Trust me, please have fun.

Dating at 15 sucks, there's so much pressure, and you think all of your friends/classmates who are dating are in on some secret; but they aren't. Many (not all) of you are just so young and naive at 15. And I say this as a former naive 15 year old. You all have these new feelings and urges and you just need to take a deep breath. Trust me you and your friends are gonna make many many bad decisions, that could have been avoided it you had just taken a second to chill out and think. Don't try to rush your life or do things (ie date) before your ready because that's what all the other 15yo are doing. Date, because you've met a nice boy you like and he likes you back, not because you think you should be dating. You will not be alone forever trust me, and also you don't really know what forever even means at this age.

So relax, you will get a boyfriend when you get one. Trust me if you graduate high school (hell if/when you graduate from college) and you're still a virgin/never had a boyfriend/never had a date trust me you will not be the only one (in 2002 54% of HS grads are virgins -http://www.nytimes.com/2002/09/29/us/more-in-high-school-are-virgins-study-finds.html). So please enjoy being 15 and enjoy high school!

And many of those that weren't naive at fifteen are at home with their second child wondering why all their friends have left them behind to go to college. I'm not saying that it true of all girls like that, but it's sadly true if any of my friends who were having sex at 13. Granted that's only 4 of my friends, that I know of, but 4 out of 4 is kinda scary. One of those girls was actually 12. Anyway, the friends who started at 15 and later are doing a lot better. I'm not saying they got pregnant at 13, but when you get so ahead of yourself you tend to make a lot mire bad decisions.

I agree with jlove. I'm not saying you should not date at 15, but definitely do not let yourself feel pressure to have to date. No one says you are required to meet your soulmate tomorrow when you're 15. There are people who are over twice that age when they finally meet someone that they'll spend forever with. And they are happy. I'd rather focus on myself and school than dating if I was 15 again. Would have saved me a lot of trouble.

YOU'RE OKAY. I didn't have my first real date and my first kiss until 18. I don't feel like I missed out by waiting so long. In fact, I think it has only benefitted me. At 18, I was mature enough to make *fairly* good decisions and I haven't done anything I've regretted relationship-wise to date.
