hello mylotters! Is that normal? I had a boyfriend for a year but I cant say that I really loved him. I'm really picky and rejects every guy who I think I can't fall inlove for because I think it will be unfair to them. I want to be with a guy who I can see my self marrying someday. Is there somethng wrong with me?

You have every right to be picky and at your age should not be worrying about a serious relationship anyway. Enjoy being young and single. Don't worry one day you will meet that special someone and will know right away if he is the one for you.

You are not wrong my dear.Your way of thinking is very good.If we love somebody lets love till we die.I think there is no use of loving if we have to marry someday with other person.

There's nothing wrong with that. Any girl with your age would probably feel the same. You're just discovering on how to be in love and that's completely normal. Don't worry, when the time comes, Mr. Right will appear in your life.

I fell in love with my boyfriend when I was 19 years old and it has been five years now since we are both sharing our lives together, it is great when we fall in love so there is nothing wrong with you but it only depends on your right time which will come when you least expect this, so just wait and watch.

Hi tessa9, it can be argued that it is not normal in society today for a girl your age to never have had a truly serious relationship. But I personally do not think so. Be picky and take your time. Perhaps you will truly find the person that will compliment who you are. Just be careful that your reluctance is not an excuse for any insecurities you may have towards commitment.

Hi Tessa, There isn't anything wrong with you. You haven't found the right guy yet. when you do, you will fall in love. you are very young right now. don't hurry things. Keep yourself busy in what you want to do with your life, and he will come and it will be love. there is no need to hurry.

Yeap, I think it is normal. I have a friend who is 24 and never been in love. ^^ Love comes at a time when you never expect it to come to you.. So just be patient, you will see that guy you really love one day.. That day will come. I believe. ^^

You don't make any sense to me at all. You have a boyfriend for a year and you don't really love him? I assume that you never even thought of getting married to him, right? Talking of being unfair to guys... If that's how you feel right now, why don't you just give up on this relationship? Anyway, you are still very young. You may not be mature enough to get into serious relationships. Why don't you channel your energies to somewhere else first?

In the first place why should you commit into relationship if you don't really love the man? It is really normal to be picky and rejects every guy that you are not in love but projecting yourself as very pretty that is why you can reject them then that is another different story. There is something wrong with you if you are keep on having relationship with a man that you don't really love.

No there is nothing wrong with you. I, for one, didn't officially date till I was 25. In high school nobody impressed me. That and I think I didn't like the environment that well in high school to go out with anybody, because of the gossip and everyone thinking they had to be in your business. I, for one, feels like it has to be the right time, and the right guy. Not to say, the first guy I dated was perfect. But, I was a lot more at ease and lot mature since I waited awhile on the dating.

I think you are doing the right things. If you didn't love him, you should tell him ASAP. I think that every girl will imagine being the bride of her boyfriend when she's in love, and your way of choosing a boyfriend is responsible for you yourself and your boyfriend. Take it easy, you will find your Mr. right some day.

hey girl..i find it cute and funny..this topic of yours...of course it isn't abnormal... there is no such thing as "too early" or "too old" in falling inlove... in love.., basically there is no rule... you shouldn't force anything that hasn't come yet... just wait for your time..it will eventually unfold in a dramatic manner in accordance to God's perfect plan for you... just enjoy the journey.., just remember.., don't search for love...let love come to you..=)

I am a lot like you. I just don't want to settle. So many of my overly needy friends just settle for whoever is willing to look their way but I need that spark. I need love, true love, the kind you go to the ends for. I have yet to feel that too. It's not unnormal. It makes you strong and means you will never settle. Don't ever let that change about yourself. You deserve someone you love as they will deserve you.

Nothing wrong with not falling inlove yet at your age. But you shouldn't be really picky. There is no such thing as a perfect man.

Oh that's okay if you are not in love with him. That stuff usually take a lot of time. I kind of did what you did. I did plenty of rejecting guys because I don't see nothing special in them and I know exactly what they want, and if I ever did like a guy, I would find at least one bad quality about them and try my best to get over them quickly. That method helped me a lot to find the right guy for me!

Dont worry that's normal to your age. Maybe it is just a puppy love.

Hey tessa, maybe you just haven't someone who can sweep you off your feet. But let me say this, that 19 years must have been boring hasn't it? (smiles)
