Dearheart, don't you be so hard on yourself. You don't have to be asked out to be in love. It's in your heart and it's what keeps you warm and gives your tingles in your tummy and sparkles in your eyes, and when you find your first love you'll know, and then maybe he won't even need to ask you out because you'll have met each other halfway across the room.
Exactly..I never was asked out as a teen either. Went to an all girls highschool which made things even harder. However, my first love was a rock and roll star. Everyone (parents et al) said it was just a crush..teen love etc. But I knew I was truly in love. I carried that torch for twenty years. I finally met him in person a few years back and he was everything I knew he always was. We are greatest of friends now and I can honestly say I love him just as much today but in a different way. He is the love of my life because he's been with me since I was so young. It's lovely to know he's well and a part of my life now.
