Even though I'm 18, I've never had a partner with whom I've had physical contact or conversation. I get along with a lot of people at school and in my part-time job, but I want to be loved for who I am, not just for how I appear.

It is good you expressed how you feel. That is a step forward.
Just continue being genuine and communicate openly. Build connections based on shared interests and values, and don't rush into things. Patience and mutual respect are key in any relationship.
This is a good place and app to help you.

you are young. Stay single.

You are only 18, please don't be so desperate looking for a partner. If I was you, I would finish school first, and get some good base for your future life.

Oh come on Cat
I'm sure God made us all, to find a soulmate and live happily ever after, otherwise God would have made us all Monks and Nuns, or maybe rocks and trees

Hi Zianna, welcome to Mingle too..

Back to the topic...
If you talked to your mother as most girls do, I'm sure she would say the same as most of the other members, which is... "You're young and have your whole life ahead of you, don't rush into finding love, it usually catches up with you at some point" ...

Agree
