Gyno exam- ever had this happen to you?

So, I've had my very first gyno exam when I was 20.5 years old. It was very uncomfortable, of course, but I got through it and the doctor was able to do what she had to do. Actually, I was supposed to have another doctor, but she was absent and I had a replacement- and the replacement was very good and I felt comfortable with her. So, 2.5 years later (today), I went to the gyno (the one I was originally supposed to see to get my routine check-up 2.5 years ago), and immediately I could just sense that I didn't get that warmth feeling. So, when she began the exam and inserted the speculum (or tried to insert it?), I tensed up and couldn't relax no matter what she told me to do to help her out. Thus, she told me she couldn't complete the exam and come back 6 months after I begin a "relationship," so that way I'll be more relaxed and it'll be easier for me to complete the exam. I don't know exactly what she meant by that (I mean can't you have a relationship and not have sex?). I have never been sexually active at all (and I don't feel ready at all yet), so at least I don't have to worry too much about HPV and other STDs. I'm just a little worried b/c I feel like I should have a check-up? And also as I get older, I'm worried this will keep happening again. Afterwards and still now, I've gotten emotional. Not sure exactly why or at who...but I feel disappointed in myself and embarrassed maybe...and what's going to happen when I really do need the exam further down the line?

Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks.
