Dating: It’s OK to be a Late Bloomer

I could try to write about dating, but I don't know very much. I have had only one official boyfriend, and frankly, he annoyed me. My parents are always asking about "any guys today?" Sometimes I just want to scream. I don't see anything wrong with not dating.
I am a high school senior and I have worked really hard to be in the top ten percent of my class. I am a colorguard member and I work five days a week from 2:30 to 5:30. Then I have homework.
When am I going to have a boyfriend? I don't even want one now. I want to be able to just do what I want and not have to worry about him. I think it is safe to say that my parents sometimes think that I am a little abnormal when it comes to the whole boy topic. I like guys; I just don't want to be tied down to one. And besides, I have known most of the guys in my high school forever. None of them interest me. I want to go to college and do well and then graduate and get a job. I want a family and all, but I also want to have a career.
I will meet my soul mate when I meet him. I can't force that now. It will happen when it is supposed to. I am only in high school. Geez. Give me a break. I know that if I were to be all about boys, my parents would want me to focus more on school. Dating will happen. Whether it is now or later. In my opinion, dating is like learning to walk. Every child walks at a different age, and some are just late bloomers. I guess when it comes to dating I am a late bloomer. So what? It is perfectly normal.
