It amazes me that someone of 18 worries about not having had a boyfriend - I presume you mean a steady boyfriend. Do you go out on dates with people, do you go out and about with mixed groups of people? If you mean you haven't got a steady boyfriend, then I think that's just fine.
Too many people hook up with someone just because they think it's odd not to have a steady boyfriend/girlfriend because their friends do.
I must confess to not having any really steady relationships until I met the man I married - loads of fun and lots of boyfriends but nothing you could class as a 'steady boyfriend' I wasn't looking for anything permanent - but the right person came along! I was almost 25. The group of people I mixed with were much the same as I. Perhaps we were weird!!
I know loads of young people who are out and about enjoying their lives without a steady partner who are older than you.
No you are not weird.

Just kidding. Please don't let society put pressure on you just because you don't have a boyfriend who will want to pressurise you into a sexual relationship not because you want it because he wants it. And you won't get pregnant, get any transexual disease's. What are the other things a boyfriend can give......let me think oh yes when hes bored and ready to move on dump you and break your heart thats if your lucky. He may even let you think it was your fault and problem. Or you could end up with a desperate wanabe wanting to marry you so no other man can touch you ever. Some men have this thing about first timers.
Wait to get a boyfriend naturaly but make sure he respect your views also. If he trys to pursuade you into sex and your not ready kick him to the kerb. You won't want to keep him forever. Teenagers can also be quite jelous of you being a virgin/pure etc... they threw theirs away on what!
You will find there is a lot of hidden jelous and alternative reasons why they would make you feel weird. Just smile because you have the whole world ahead of you with no regrets.

hi earth child. i am 25 and i didnt have my first boyfriend till i was 19. i am still with him and we have two children together. i didnt go looking for him we just met through a friend.
all my mates had boyfriends ad most of them had a different one each week but it just didnt bother me. sometimes i would question y i didnt have one, them id realise its because i am happy being single. my life and money was my own and i liked it that way. please dont feel that just because your mates have them, that you must be the same. all my mates are now single spend all there time drinking and making out they have a good life, but then they go home to a empty bed and no one to cuddle up to. mainly because they have had most of the blokes they know and have made a bit of a rep for themselves. i waited till i was ready and i am now very happy. i am only young and totally understand your worries but you are far from weired, i think its a good thing that you arnt just sleeping about to please your mates. you will find love when you least expect it. good luck and enjoy your time and money while you can cause when you do find a man it will all change x
