You already answered your question. You don't want a boyfriend. What you do want is a social companion so you won't feel awkward with your friends.  If you can find a guy to be this kind of friend then more power to you....but don't go and get a "boyfriend" just to fit in.  Besides if your fiends make you feel awkward, then maybe it's time to get new friends.

First off, good for you. Don't let other people pressure you into finding a boyfriend, that will only trap you in a pointless relationship. They pressure you because they feel like they're helping, it's hard to tell them all their interference makes the situation worse. Tell them, 'I will have a boyfriend when I find one I like.' If that doesn't stop them, tell them you're thinking about becoming a lesbian.

I'm like you. I'm 30. Never had a boyfriend either. I  never had my first boyfriend. I think it's time we both did. Only I need to get out more often and be flexible. You're lucky you meet guys. Don't give up. There's plenty of fish in the sea ... I hope.

Mad props to you!!!!  You're more mature than most girls your age.  Teenage girls are notoriously insecure and petty, so many of them feel they need a boyfriend.  Pathetic, really.  You can have fun (sometimes more fun) without a boyfriend!  So they way you feel isn't a big deal.  And I've met a lot of girls who didn't really date until they were in their 20's.  A lot of them wanted to focus on their school work and their friendships in high school.  So hey, if you're happy without a boyfriend, you're better off than most girls your age.  You're happy with yourself.  Celebrate it and be proud of it.  And some day, a guy will love you for that.

you dont say how old you are, but i guess you're young so i would say just be yourself and dont feel pressured to have a boyfriend. when its right you will know and things will just flow with the right person without you having to try hard. So just see how it goes and then you can decide if he is the right guy for you or if you are ready for a relationship. good luck

NO!!! There is nothing wrong with you. Everyone experiences things at different times so don't rush the process. You never know when you get your first boyfriend he may turn out to be the right one. Just be patience and enjoy being you and being single.

umm... i don't think that's a good reason for wanting a boyfriend.. so what if all your friends have boyfriends? and what good will it do if you find one in a rush and just end up in a bad relationship?\ni think you should just take it slow. you can't rush love. you'll find someone when the time comes ^_^\ngood luck.

Just go slow.  You have lots of time to grow up and figure things out.  Don't give into pressure to have a boyfriend.  The right time will come.  Concentrate on school work and doing the right things.

If You Really Like the Boy and He treats you like a Queen..Otherwise you are better off being a Self Supporting Strong Independent Lady Who can Take care of Things for Herself!(You Actualy Need to Be That Boyfriend Or Not!)

sweetheart, you sound like your 25 and going through a mid-life crisis...Don't "look" for any of that, just let it happen.  I know at your age <<under 16 right>> you may feel ready for a relationship, but your much better off with a guy friend than a boyfriend.  Think about the important things like school, friends, parties, fashion....Trust me, boys are trouble....Don't end up with someone and get pregnant at an early age, there is more to life than that....Look for that care and love from your family, you'll be better off.....If your reading this and thinking that you've heard this all before its because its true.....trust me i would know...

Dont try to look for a bf... just make sure you associate with guys...guys can be found anywhere... but clubs and youth groups are good places to associate with guys... so ther real question is HOW to get one... \nMake your self attractive,,, not nessary hot but attractive... like but a little makeup on,,, dress with style....\ndon’t worry about trying to MAKE guys like you. There is someone always there. The more you think about it the less likely something like that will happen. This is what happened to me until 2 weeks ago and finally got my first boyfriend. Be yourself and don’t look unless you want to ask. Guys can tell if a girl just wants a boyfriend or is sincerely looking for fun.. (guys don’t like to be used either). Make sure you do talk to guys though. Just don’t be desperate and take the first guy you see (unless you like them) ....to get a real relationship you will have to actually stand the guy!!! So overall BE YOURSELF, TALK TO GUYS and HAVE FUN... (don’t just try and land yourself a boyfriend)

Hey don't feel down. I don't have a boyfriend either. Do you want a boyfriend? And do you need one badly? If so go ask a guy out that you think that he's interested in you. It's either you that's having a trouble finding a boyfriend or you are not sure if you want one. Or it's either the boys? You have to venture out more in the world if you're shy or quiet. Trying too hard can also be a problem. But either way good luck, just find out what you want.

Nope, instead focus on school and friends. It's ok to be boy crazy just don't become boy stupid. Also, make them chase you. Trust me, you'll have pleanty of time to have a boyfriend. They will come and go. Your heart will get broken a few times before you meet the right one and he too may break your heart. Why would you want to deal with all that at 12.

first you are not alone in this. i know plenty of people whos never had a date in high school, it doesnt matter really because everyone's situation is different.\n\nlook, would you date someone because there is a mutual connection between you two or would you rather date 'just because' you've never had a boyfriend? do you want a relationship because you are in love or because you are desperate to PROVE you can get a boyfriend? \n\nANYONE CAN GET A DATE IF THEY WANTED TO!!! im sure you are really sweet and nice, and you want to see how it feels to be in a relationship. but dont just surrender to peer pressure, its not worth it. wait until LOVE finds you, you are still young, have your first date SPECIAL and REAL then you can go show off and make everyone else jealoused! \n\nnow calm down, theres no need to go 'omg' its perfectly natural. if you really want a boyfriend despite what ive said so far, then be more sociable and join some clubs and activities outside of school. that way you'll meet new people and increase your likelihood of getting a date :)\n\ngood luck and listen to your heart!

first off  be happy at your age not having a boyfriend . having boyfriend isnt the greatest thing in the world . Just enjoying the single life and when you are 16 you be ready for the guys and stuff. IF your friends are saying you should have  bf and stuff. They are not friends.. You have to belive in your self. For example   some of my classmates were all friends and they got all pregant sad to say your friends will make your life good or it can make  worse.Talk to god if you are lonely.you arent alone not having a boyfriend at 13 i can assure you. Im 23 and i didnt have boyfriend at age 13. just take your time.
