How old were you when you had your first relationship?

And/or found the person you wanted to spend your life with? The reason I ask is because most of my friends have girlfriends, or have had a girlfriend. I haven't, ever, had one. I'm not ugly (so I've been told) and I like to think of myself as a nice person. I've never been kissed. I'm 17, I know I'm still somewhat young but I feel why is it me who doesn't experience what all my friends do. I've tried and failed 5 or 6 times to get a girlfriend, they all go wrong at some point, resulting in more hurt. My friends didn't have this problem and I feel they can't appreciate what they have from my perspective. Thanks for reading, Enjoy your Christmas, Sam. :)
