I'm still a virgin and I'm 18, which I'm okay with, because I want to wait til I find the right guy...But I've never had my first kiss, and that kind of bothers me... Sometimes It bothers me to still be a virgin, because I feel left out, but everytime a guy wants to or tries to have sex with me I hate the feeling of being used (which is why I'm still a virgin)...But not ever having my first kiss bothers me even more. Is it okay to not have ever kissed a guy at my age? or do you consider it weird?

Not weird at all, actually kind of awesome. It's rare that young women refuse to settle and that's exactly what you're doing.

Don't bother doing anything with a guy until you really, really want to. Why sell yourself short when you've waited this long. Just consider it as having really high standards.

It think it would really weird to not be a virgin but to have not been kissed! First things first ya know?

I agree with the above - you're not settling, and you want someone who's for real. I think that's great, and RARE, these days. It's not too weird to me...I waited until I met a really good guy too, which made me a little bit of a late bloomer...but I don't regret it at all. We are no longer together, but we're still great friends.

What this means to me is that you have a fairly healthy attitude toward relationships - you don't want somebody just to be with somebody, and you don't want to waste your time on someone who isn't worth it. It sounds like you're holding out for a relationship with substance and depth rather than instant gratification. And, quite honestly, I think that's awesome.

A friend of mine didn't have her first kiss until she was 26...she's now married to the guy and they're very happy.

I was 19 when I had my first kiss, and 19 when when I had sex. I am not the type of girl to just throw my body at a random guy because other girls the same age do, no, I wanted to have it from a guy that wanted to kiss me and not be the result of some stupid dare or drunk night. It is not immature or weird to wait out for a guy who treats you as something, and not another number, who wants to give you something even if it is as simple as a kiss.

I don't think there has to be standard time line. Have your first kiss whenever you're in the right mood with the right guy... even if you have to wait until 40.

I was a virgin until 25. And I regret losing it when I did because it was just with some girl who ended up not caring for me, and I met the right girl just that next month. Wish I had waited so I could say I've only ever slept with her.

[hoops]

Not weird. Things will take the right course for you at the right time. BTW, 18 is still young, at least to me!

[shweedart]

I'd understand why you'd feel weird about it but I bet its a real nice thing to have but I doubt you'll realise until you've done it just how nice it was to have something all to yourself.

Congratulations

Not weird at all. I was 14 when i was kissed first and 14 when i lost my virginity and i really wish i could take that back. It is something really special to save yourself for the right person. I think you are being very smart. Congratulations!!!!
