    I'm 19 years old and I still don't have a girlfriends, I'm starting to think that I'm not normal. What is the average age for this?

    My youngest son was about 19 when he had his first girlfriend. He met her in college. He was shy, and reclusive. It took a special kind of girl to draw him out. Now he is nearly 23, and he married her. Very happily married too!!

    Don't worry. You are still really young. My eldest son, was more outgoing, and didn't have a girlfriend until he was about 20. He had a few more in between before he met his wife, and married at 26.

    I was about 19 when I had my first date. It felt like it would never ever happen!

    Hell man, I'm 29 and it still hasn't happend yet, atleast I don't think so.. I've had friends who are girls, or women, or wh.. well, they're not whatever, they are female. But the thing is I've been in public with them, I don't think I've ever done the dinner and a movie thing or whatever you consider as a standard date. Of course, these are not people I consider "girlfriends", but to me there are lots of shades of gray. It seems often adult relationships are just implicit versions of kids saying "so you want to me boyfriend-girlfriend? Like go steady?" or something. What the hell?

    This is how I see relationships. I'm me, you're you, we're friends, we get to know each other, we become closer friends, and so on. I don't meet someone, think she's dreamy, do the meal/entertainment thing on a regular basis, wonder if she like me, come to some point where I confront my uncertainty and talk about "us", and so on. To me that's just plain silly. I think you just gotta let relationships develop, unfortunately they don't sell them at K-Mart yet. (hey, that's all I could afford)

    Ummm, guess I should be happy I wasn't raised a witness. My first steady girlfriend was age 15. Aaaaaah, I remember the day. You could have sex with a girl and it was always good. Girl have an orgasm? Are you nuts???

    Now there is pressure, she has to have an orgasm. Good grief, what has the world come to anyway.

    I heard that some have sex before they date. I heard some start as young as 14.

    I'm not sure if i ever had a date. I managed to get some sex, though. My advice is try to get either sex or a date, whichever.

    I think (it has been awhile you know) my first date was when I was about 21. I broke away from the dubs and started dating nice worldly guys...lol they tend to be less picky than JW ones

    Don't worry you have plenty of time. Just find some people to be friends with and see where it leads....

    We had to sneak out to a park late at night to meet. I was one of those JWs who was by consensus not allowed to date… the old “don’t take unless you are getting married” bit was applied to me more than others.
