Hi sandy127
Don't worry about it ~ you just haven't met the right person yet.
I had lots of friends when I was your age ~ male & female (and I'm also the person people tend to come to for advice) ~ but I was 18 before I met someone I wanted to go out with, who also wanted to go out with me.
I wasn't willing to go out with anyone I wasn't particularly interested in ~ except as friends.
17 is young. Lots of 17-year-olds have not found someone special yet. Unfortunately some will settle for someone whom they don't consider special ~ not a great idea, in my opinion.
Good luck!
