writes:I feel pressured to get a boyfriend!Ive only just turned 15 and it seems like the world keeps pressuring me about getting a boyfriend. My mum keeps calling me a lesbian and that makes me feel awful.My older sister( who by the way is married) thinks im strange especially because my little sister has a boyfriend and I dont.My little sister wants me to get one ,and I get the feeling she thinks of me the same way as the other two.Pretty much all of my friends have boyfriends and they dont seem to understand why im single. Theres other people but these are the main ones. Its not that I dont want one , its just that i dont feel comfortable enough for that. I know myself and I know im not gay, i actually really like this guy.I find it really stressful because maybe what if I can never get one and just die alone.I know that sounds pathetic but thats how i feel. Lonely. Should I go soul searching or just stay single?Thank you!

CandyCurves is verified as being by the original poster of the question Thank you for the answers, just wanted to state my mum and sisters are not bad people. I can understand where they are coming from.
You see at my age ,my mum and sister both had boyfriends and stuff ,soon567 i can understand what you are saying.
I get why they think im strange, never had a boyfriend and i dont really like to talk about feelings or boys, im not like them at all. I just dont understand why they cant respect the fact i wanna take my time. im starting to believe theyre right. They compare me to my little sister who by the way is 13,saying if she cant get one why cant i?
Why cant i be more like them or like my friends.They seem happier, Thanks!

You have plenty of time to find your special guy, don't just go out with a random to please your mum (who is way out of order to accuse you being a lesbian - she should support who you are no matter what orientation you are) and your sisters (how old is the one younger than you? It won't last long for her).
Do your own thing and be your own person. Trust your instincts. Good Luck!

You're 15. You've got years to find a boyfriend, and you're much more likely to find a good one if you do it in your own time. Tell them the can think what they like, but you won't do anything you don't want to.
