Never been in love...

I'm a 19 year old college student and I've never had a serious relationship. I' always focused on getting my education (A Bachelor's in Nursing) and making sure that I'm on the right track. Am I doing the right thing by waiting for someone to come along or should I start looking. I don't want to be self-centered but I am good looking, everyone seems to complement me and my personality. People say I'm too good to be in a relationship, but my heart hurts after awhile. I want to have someone there for me and I can be there for them. I'm funny and I love giving people attention that they deserve... I'm a great cook for my age and I can't wait to cook for a man :) and make him feel at home. I'm an artist and I expressive my self in many different ways.... I just want to know if I'm doing the right thing by waiting? Can someone give me advice please it would really help me. Thanks!

I waited for the right time, right guy and right place to get into a relationship. I was so preoccupied with my studies before just like you and there was never a time that i entertain those guys who wanted to court me. Although i was really praying to God to give me signs and it wasn't until i was so sure to graduate that i have had a serious relationship ever. It was worth the wait..and i know the right guy will come your way. You're still young, and if that right guy really loves you, he will wait for the time for you to get into a serious relationship.

hi KaiPrincess we both are alike. I mean me too I am waiting for a person who will love me for what I am and be my life partner. I never had any serious relationship before and he will be the first person. I have a belief in me that god has already created our destiny and my life partner also.. Lets wait together. and concentrate on our education in the mean time. happy mylotting!

You are doing excellent. Its very wise to get all your education first. You dont have other things taking your attention away from your education. Perhaps your chances for finding the correct mate are better. One that has the same interest and/or profession you do. As you say you are young theres no rush. Its hard maintaining a relationship and bringing up a family. Mix that with going to to school and/or work. Makes for a much stressful time. Its better to take care of one thing at a time.

For me your doing the right thing, my friend. Because love can wait but education will not.. What if your not in love. What if you don't have a boyfriend...the important thing is that you can pursue your dreams and be a nurse someday. If you finish your college you can be free to choose who is really best for you... Have a nice day!

God will give you the right person at the right time. but it doesn't mean that you'll hurt yourself over and over again before you find the person that was really made for you. sometimes it is when we aren't looking that the person will come into our lives.. you're too young. its good to have an inspiration and someone to love. maybe you need to be a whole person first, already achieved everything and that person is the only thing left that needs to be in your life. Enjoy life first... There's someone who's destined to be your partner... Just you wait...

Same as you, I've never been in love before. Lately, I had wanted to get a feel of it and I sort of yearned for love, yearning for a partner. However, I know the right time hasn't arrived yet. So I guess I'll wait...

My daughter is also nineteen and in a similar relationship aspect but has online relationship. It has been going good and now might be moving to next step. I think if you are really feeling like you want a man then go out on a few dates and see where it goes. If you find Mr. right then it worked out and if not then you have started to at least look and maybe he will one day fall in your lap when you least expect it.

Hey! young lady. The boat is setting out. Never miss the boat. When you miss the chance, when you pass your golden period, forever you can not get back. Give other people a chance. It is also giving yourself a chance to know or to understand someone. You are not falling in love yet. Love is really blind. ha! ha! ha! Later, you will forget everything you said before. No matter how much you like or love someone, you still have to maintain a distance with him. You must know the way to protect yourself. Certain thing you can do it only after your marriage. Good Luck you You.

You're only 19 and there are a lot of things for you to experience. Enjoy your youth, continue your artistic endeavors, and do the things you want to do so when the time comes that you are ready for love, go out and look for it. Don't wait for love to just fall on your lap without doing anything. But as of the moment, at your tender age, love and enjoy yourself first.

I think what your doing is great! You are still so young. Relationships are so much better when you have explored yourself more and gotten to know what you like and don't like. Your relationship will be so much more full. Plus you are going into a very noble and rewarding profession. There are tons of opportunities for nursing right now. You can even travel with it if you want. I'm 27 and I'm single. I'm traveling and working right now. I'm also doing a lot of self-discovery. I'm open to relationships but not actively looking. I've been in love and had a couple relationships but nothing extremely serious. Its very lonely being by yourself. However its lonelier being with the wrong person than it is to be by yourself. All I have to say, is you go girl! Have a good time and be open. Love happens when you least expect it to.

You're just 19. Plenty of time for love to find you, or for you to find true love. =) And when love finds you, expect one tough roller coaster ride. There would be ups, downs. Just enjoy the feeling while you can.

Sometimes it just takes a while. I didn't start dating my boyfriend until I was 21. I love him so much, and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him. It just takes a while to find the right one. Just don't think that you absolutely need someone now and end up with someone you don't really love. It's not worth it to be miserable.

You're just doing it right. You are too young for a serious relationship. Better to be serious in your studies than on love

Just take your time my friend and I am sure that true love will come your way. You don't have to look for it because love will be the one to look for you. It will just happen. Well it's good to know that you are focus with your studies now and I salute you for that.One day you will meet your prince. So just wait and have fun first because I tell you, if your deeply in love already, it's not always fun, you have to be responsible enough as a partner and pain will always be there for you have to accept the whole being of the person you love whether it be good or bad.God Bless You! =)

Hi Princess: Wish you should have met me five years ago, and your problem is solved. Seriously speaking, you're more fortunate than those who has come and gone the way of "love." I say if you haven't been there, don't speed things up going there. You see, you always find yourself alone and heartbroken. Believe me, I've been there also and its not always a bed of roses I got. Just enjoy being free and beautiful, its your gift and no one deserve it but the right person, in the right place and time.
