I often find myself thinking of situations where sexual activities may occur, as if planning the nights events in my head, hoping for the best. Unfortunately by the time the situation comes up I panic almost in a state of complete fear. I become so afraid that I try even to avoid times when I think something may come up, making up excuses as to why I can not be present during something. In such a case as this I'm unable to date. Fearful of being in a sexually sticky situation. I'm embarrassed but when people ask me I either claim to be proud of being pure and untouched, or I lie and say I have achieved more than but a small peck, and as ridiculous as that may sound I haven't kissed or touched anyone in almost 3 years now, my nerves hold me back, and I'm starting to feel like this may be a problem.

Believe me when I say I would love to engage in sexual activities but I feel uncomfortable and often more or less angry I can't achieve the feeling of being touched, or touching someone else.

I have been in particular instances where I'm laying next to someone and I've been waiting for them to make a move but when they suggest something sexual I back off. I'm afraid to be me. And I feel ashamed.

I tired of feeling like I'm a waste of space. And especially being referred to as the best friend, the girl next door, for once I want to feel good about being in one of those sexually sticky situations I would appreciate it if someone would help me.

Without knowing your history, it's hard to say. And even if we knew, it might still be hard. Perhaps either you aren't as ready as you think you are, or you are ready but just self-conscious.

All you can do is just not rush it, and it will probably work itself out, and one day you will go into it with confidence.

Don't be afraid of anything to start off sex is only natural need and desire people have and as the whole feeling afraid its natural to be like that sometimes but what you need to do is realize that no one is perfect and that people accept that so don't be ashamed of anything because you are who you are period and if you are not happy with yourself then you never will all you have to do is take a step forward and take a leap of faith into the wonderful world of pleasure desire and lust once you do it once you will realize everything is okay and there is nothing to be ashamed all you have to do is take that first step no matter how uncomfortable it is if you really want to feel good about being in a sexually sticky situation and also remember you can stop it at anytime if you really want to its just like nike (just do it)

NEVER feel bad for not wanting to do something sexual. But here's the deal hun. You need to be honest and up front with them. It sounds like you're not ready. So don't play games. Tell them you don't want to do anything. Because when you say you want something, and then get in that situation and back out, that just confuses the guy. Just be honest and tell them you don't want to do anything.

But I think that's great that you haven't done anything hun. Don't be in a rush to try and do a bunch of stuff. Although sex is a great thing in the right circumstance, when you're young and not ready, it isn't a good thing. You will have regrets, you will have broken hearts, and many sleepless nights. Be patient, don't rush into anything and wait for the right time.

If you aren't ready yet, then don't. Honestly. Your being uncomfortable is a sign that you are not ready, be it emotionally or physically, or even chemically ready to start being physical with people.

As much as you may want it, be it sex or even just good natured groping and making out, they are steps that require you to be sound in your emotional and mental states.

I do not like to put this out there, but it comes to mind. Is it only guys that you have a problem touching? Some of what you said sounds like how a friend of mine was feeling before he came out of the closet.

I do not mean to insinuate that you may be lesbian, but it may be something that you haven't realized yet.

This can go for pretty much anything but especially this: if you aren't ready, then wait. If you are uncomfortable, then wait. Only you can know when you are ready. And when you are ready, you should ease into things, don't go headfirst into the deep end.

All this is telling me is that you are not ready yet. Don't be worried or ashamed about this. In my opinion there are way too many girls running around out there having sex because they think they should, or EVERYONE else is doing it. Don't try and push yourself into something that does not feel right, you will only end up regretting it. Instead learn to be proud of not succumbing to the temptations, to be like everyone else, being a virgin is NOTHING to be ashamed of, be proud, that you haven't yet fallen for some players lame line. Lol. This profile says you are under 18 I wouldn't worry so much about it, when you find a person you want to really be with, I'm sure you will be able to relax and enjoy it. Till then don't sweat it.

Yes, most of the time! I really wish I had a boyfriend/girlfriend!

A little, because I feel left out.

Not really...

Nope! I have too much fun being single!

Describe your ideal first date; Where do you go? What do you wear? How does the date end?
For a first date, I like to keep it casual. Coffee, lunch/dinner, drinks. Something that you can actually talk to the person and get to know them. Depending on how the date goes, I'm into a hug or kiss. But don't force it.

Afterwards..what will your date know about you?
Depends on what comes up in the conversation.

Would you date me?
