Dude I'm (won't say my grade for safety reasons) in high school and I've never had a girlfriend. It's been really weird and depressing sometimes but you've got to deal with it. I accomplished a ton of stuff in middle school and a girlfriend would have made it a lot harder to do(cross country team captain, student council president, first chair bass plus straight A's). I've got a ton of female friends and when it comes time to start dating this year I will. I've liked girls in middle school (its nearly impossible not to) but in the back of my mind I knew it would mess things up. When it's right you'll know.
