There are no norms for relationships. Age is a number and maturity is something that people think they have, but often don't especially in their late teens. My step-daughter is 17 and has been dating a guy for 3 years. She thinks it's a mature relationship, but it's very childish and manipulative. However, then there are people like varrybarry who have been in the relationship since a young age.

I started dating at 13. I thought I was having relationships. What I was really having were boys who wanted to get in my pants and after trying for a month moving along.

I had an abusive relationship at age 16 for 6 months. Mature content, not a healthy relationship.

My first long-term relationship was at 18 when I lost my virginity. We were together for 3 years and engaged to be married. But even though I thought we were ready, we weren't and the relationship failed because we grew in different directions.

It takes time and usually the person will come along when you stop looking. Life is like that. I believe everything happens for a reason and if you haven't found the right person yet, then your paths just haven't crossed yet. But it will happen...
