I'm seventeen, I only had a three week "relationship" with a girl. That was about a year and a half ago. I'm in your boat, in a way.

Honestly, I'm glad that I'm single. There is nothing wrong with you. You shouldn't allow standards screw you over.

Frankly, dating is a stupid concept. I say this because we say that we want "Mr. Right" or "Miss Right", but most people "date" to "find someone special". It's funny that we "date" to find a husband or wife, but we just bump into good friends. We filter boyfriends and girlfriends for our own needs and desires but then forget the that person has feeling and STILL reject him/her.

You don't like that your boyfriend likes rap? You can dump him!
Don't like that your girlfriend has a weird bump on her head? Dump her!

This kind of mind set that hinders people from finding people who match them very well. Whereas friendships (the healthy ones that is) can accept these differences and can be very strong for that. Personally, I hope a meet a woman who matches me fairly well (afterall, it'd be cool to know a girl who's similar to me, and it does suck to sleep alone sometimes) but I'd prefer a relationship where we're great friends and it's a strong love based on us, not some random "relationship" that I shove myself in out of desperation and some horniness that ultimately leads to me being unhappy.

Friends are great, don't be like how I was and not remember that friends and family count as good love too!

Of course, that is my opinion.
