okay, so im just wondered, like…

is there something wrong with me? im 21 right, ive literally only ever kissed 2 girls, never seen a girl naked - the only girls i know are never interested in me, they dont mind been friends though, just never anything else…ever. thing is, i really dont know if im bothered. im thinking, well, i should be…shouldnt i? i dont know what to do - i never seem to meet anyone new, i do the same thing over and over again, and although (amazingly) i feel happy with things, as much as i want a girlfriend…nothing ever happens.

my self esteem isnt exactly through the roof, but i know if i had a girlfriend it would probably increase 10 fold (although id probably be amazed if anyone asked me out!) last time anyone did i was 16, and i actually laughed at her cuz i thought she was taking the mick!

of course…on thing that doesnt help…is the fact im a virgin…god i hate that word! of course ive lied to my friends and said ive slept with like 5 or 6 girls, but the truth is ive never even seen breasts, like for real!

so in short…i want a girlfriend, but i just kinda feel…maybe its too late?

Whoa! That sounds like me , to the letter, only 3 years younger. And you should NOT feel bad about being a virgin. I find it quite funny actually, to blurt that out in conversations and see peoples eyebrows arc up and go all speechless. And yeah, I have seen some of my mates become quite self-confident after losing their virginity, but that should not be your goal I think.

A very important thing is to go to places where the CHANCE exists that you could meet a girl. Sitting behind your computer (which I did since birth) does not help. Go out there is the way to go I fear >.<

I do wonder, why do you want a girlfriend? It sounds a bit like you want to “just have one” as if they are a gadget, heh.

He says “im thinking, well, i should be…shouldnt i?”..if that’s the incentive then I say don’t bother >.> It’s not a must have collectible-card or something like that.

Hey dont sweat it. This is my advice to you. Its NOT too late at all. That you are seeking advice is a sign that you feel somethings wrong but need some guidance. If you want a girlfriend just go up to whomever it is and ask them their name and if they seem like they’ll talk, ask if they’d like to grab a bite to eat. Usually i would ask if they would like pizza. Most girls dont like eating pizza randomly, because they dont like gaining weight or the extra oil and grease. SO if they eat pizza with you, its a good sign! (unless she’s a cow)

hehe, yeah course i want a girlfriend, but sorry if it came across like you said “just cause its like an accessory or something” - im not even bothered about the sex side of things, i just want someone i can to things about, and share things with, and buy things for. i get about 900 quid a month, i have too money and i wish i could spend it on someone else. but simple things too, this might sound abit stupid, but i really feel like i need some kind of emotional support, or something. like even a cuddle from someone who really cared about me ya know…

I know the feeling, I am 20 and have never actually had sex. I had a opportunity to do so, yet was unable to because casual sex is not erotic. Wait until you meet somebody who you like/love and who feels the same as you do. Otherwise you just feel empty and used.

He’s not really that much bothered about the sex thing. He wants someone to share emotions and experiences with..well mainly anyway.. The main idea is “go get out more”!!

Im in the exact same situation!! sometimes i feel there’s something wrong with me too, but then again i havn’t done anything wrong, im not dog ugly, iv’e talked to lots of girls, been to parties …its definetly an attitude thing, being myself just doesn’t get me anywhere, … again im not desperate for sex but i’d really love to have a girl friend… i never get around to complementing a girl or letting her know i like her, its hard to give advice, i cant help being pretty relaxed about it even though it really bugs me. i hate the fact im a 21yr virgin

I don’t understand how anyone could hate himself for still being virgin when you are in your twenties…

Dude, don’t worry at all. Of my friends, there was this one guy who was in your situation. The rest of all had girlfriends and all the other stuff before him. He was older than you. In the end, though, this guy met a really great girl. They went out for a year or two, and then got married.

For the rest of us, we are either still single, unhappily married, paying child support to ex-girlfriends, etc.

Just work on yourself, your confidence, your self-image. The right girl will come along at the right time. You are still very young. I can say this since I am about quite a bit older than you.

Each person’s path in life is different. Just because the majority of people are doing something doesn’t make it right for you.

hey man! just a holla that im the same - 19, virgin, can make friends with women, but nothing else!! ive been told by all my mates, and close female friends that im too nice! they always tell me that women like the chase?! (i dont believe it, im a blunt person, if i like someone i tell them or hide it, and act as if its not there!!) but it seems to have worked for them! aparently if you open doors, give your jacket, give up a seat, it shows weakness?! i mean i can bench alot more than my friends, but always act a gentleman and they have the girls - try being less “eager” like if a girl texts you, when you reply, leave her wanting more.love is a game - dont hate it.

and being a virgin isnt all bad! think of the diseases you arent catching?

and, it shows maturity? like you arent the same as “every other teenager” hormonally charged, and will shag anything! just take your time, be yourself, and play the game.

You guys have got to lighten up, the world we live in today is charged with envious objects, people, lifstyles e.t.c. You and only you make the right or wrong choices, doesnt matter if your shy of have a different take on life.
I’m a firm believer in goal setting. Not just writing crap down and forgetting about it really- explore HOW you are going to work toward and achieve. What I’m getting at is identify, react, take action and follow through, make sure every sat night no matter how you feel you make social plans e.t.c
