I'm 18 and I still haven't been in a relationship. O.o

I'm not out either, so finding guys is a bitch, really the only way for me to do it is online. =.=
I've pretty much spent this night feeling kind of lonely over the fact that I don't really have anyone to talk to haha.
Anyway, discuss:

Being gay and not out, while still meeting people.
Online dating.
Random bouts of depression (I highly doubt I'm bipolar.)

At 18, it is not unusual at all that you haven't been in a relationship.

Making good friends of either sex is far more important at this stage of your life than having a fulltime bf. Get out and do things in the community at large. Volunteer for something you enjoy. Take up a sport; either team or solo.

Develop the widest range of interests possible. Become well read.

These are the things that will help you connect with other guys over the next few years and can shake you out of the episodes of random depression that are quite normal for closeted gay kids.

Consider coming out. The truth will set you free.

You have your whole entire life ahead of you! Enjoy it while you can, whether it be single, or not. Feel comfortable in your own skin, enjoy your friends and family, and you might not feel lonely all of the time.

I've never been in a relationship (never even tried), happy with it (for now), and I'm age 41.

I'm 19 and I've never been in a relationship, but im not really looking for one. If you're searching for a relationship it is going to be hard for you to find one when you're not out (although not impossible). I can understand your reluctance but if you're depressed and lonely coming out will make you happier in the future. Any reason why you havent came out yet? Not trying to seem pushy, but it is a pretty large brick wall hindering your path towards a relationship.

Oh, and if the depression is frequent see a doctor

i know people who have been out for years, and yet can't seem to manage to find somebody to be in a relationship with.
granted, this might be because they're personally big huge messes of people and strangers (the ones they go for) usually take advantage of that.
for the most part i'm still closeted but have been in multiple relationships. it helps to live in a very densely populated area and be young... and "attractive". i couldn't imagine how hard it must be for others that live in rural places or even suburbs to find, meet people, develop feelings etc while still hiding.
or ugly people, i have one straight friend who was incredibly supportive and acted as my wing man when college first started to support me on my social endeavors... that was until i realized young gay guys in west hollywood are about the single most judgemental group of people on the face of the planet and having an ugly straight guy for moral support next to you all night was the equivalent of being a 300 pound overweight leper (or something).
don't feel discouraged though. your teens are the time to make friends, not boyfriends. i'm in my very early twenties now and the few friends i had that devouted their lives to their significant others are extremely jaded now. people tend to not even be close to knowing what they really want at this stage in life.

I was 25 before I got into a relationship. The only thing I truly regret was the amount of time I fretted about it. I had good friends, my life was good, and things worked out quite well.

I'm 20 and i've never been in a relationship. It's nothing to be ashamed about. Just keep working at it.
