I am 18 and have never had a girlfriend and honestly don't really plan to until i have a stable career and some security in life. I want to be sure that whoever i am going to be with will genuinely love me despite my flaws and be flexible and understanding since my career choice of Law Enforcement carries with it many issues that can put stress on a relationship. When i was in high school once i also had an opportunity to have sex with someone that offered but turned it down because it would just feel wrong and meaningless. That same girl we almost started dating but it failed before it even got started just due to natural incompatibilities. Overall i really do one day want to get married and start a family. I try and tell myself that i don't need it since relationships can be stressful and unpredictable and i like predictability but at the same time my own natural human instincts compels me to be in a relationship. It is so very frustrating. Il just have to focus on one thing at a time. I got many years to figure it all out.
