Is it weird to be 19 and virgin in all ways?

I'm 19, almost 20 and I've never been kissed or been in a relationship, and of course never had sex. I'm not a Victorias Secret model, but I don't think I'm that ugly. I know uglier people who have boyfriends. I'm a bit shy, but not too much. Some boys have shown interest at some parties that I've been at, but I'm not the one-drunk-night-stand kind of girl. Is it weird that I've never kissed anybody? How do you guys feel about this?

  • I am 22. 3 months ago I had my first kiss and met my first boyfriend.

    Focus on you.

    Aged 18 I decided I didn't NEED a boyfriend, society told me I did. But as an adult, looking back at my school friends who bragged at loosing their virginity aged 11/12/13/14 I only feel sorry for them. They were bullied into thinking that was normal, but ask any of them now and they'll tell you it was the biggest mistake of their lives. It meant nothing. They were pressured by societies 'norm'.

    I convinced myself it was me. I was the problem. I was ugly, I was too shy, I was pathetic. When in reality I was none of these. It took me a LONG time to see that. Now, I'm 22 years old and I am happy. I focussed on me, I went to university and now I'm a teacher. All of those girls who mocked me for being a virgin now want to be my friend. Guys who I never would have had a chance with back when I was so negative about myself, suddenly claim they always had a 'crush' on me. Life is a funny thing.

    I was bullied for not having a boyfriend like everyone else, but the biggest bully of all was ME. Any time a guy showed interest I shied away and pulled down the shutters. I reminded myself how pathetic I was and I convinced myself they were lying. But in time I learned to love myself. I went to a bar three months ago and met my best friend, who later would become my boyfriend. He didn't care about any of the things I beat myself up about for years. He was my first kiss, my first cuddle even. Three months and he's still waiting for when I'm ready to lose my virginity to him. He doesn't care. He's made it clear he wants me and will wait as long as it takes for me to be ready. So to answer your question IT IS NOT WEIRD. YOU ARE NOT WEIRD. Whether you meet your soulmate tomorrow, when you're 22 in a bar, or 79 in a retirement home - it will happen. Things happen for a reason. You will meet the right person in time. But until then, DO NOT beat yourself up about it. I thought it would never happen. I read all kinds of articles and advice blogs but I never truly believed them. Believe me. It will happen when it is supposed to. Until then, learn to love yourself. This will shine from you and you will radiate inner beauty. Travel, write that book, paint, cook, read, do whatever it is you love. That dream you have? Go and get it. I am glad I waited because now it means so much more. I value every moment I spend with him.

    Love will find you.

  • It's not weird at all. Not everyone has sex at an early age. It'll happen when you're with the right guy and when you're ready. Also, some of us want our sex to be in the context of a long term monogamous relationship such as between girlfriend and boyfriend, not just some random guy. That means doing all the hard work of meeting and dating guys, rejection, etc until you find a guy you wants a relationship. It's hard work and most of us are lazy...

  • Not weird at all, hun! You only do what YOU want to do when it feels right; not because society tells you it is or everyone around you is doing it. Granted, it's better to be in your position at this time in life because everyone sort of just throws themselves around these days with no worry or care. You're a diamond that someone will be very lucky to have one day!

  • I think Victoria Secret models aren't attractive at all, they are too thin.

    You need a social relation with a guy to get them to know you well enough to fall for you.

  • Not weird. You are just not the kind of person who does it with anyone.

  • Don't stress. I didn't have my first kiss until I was 19 (almost 20) and I know girls who are 21/22/23 who have never kissed anyone or had bf's.

  • No it's not! You're gonna do it when you feel ready.
    I have a 20y/o friend who's in the same situation and my 24 y/o brother is also still a virgin, my mom was a virgin until she turned 19, so I wouldn't say it's weird...

  • No it is not weird because you just have not found a guy that you love. Give it time and you will find your guy.

  • I had my first kiss when I was 21 and a half exactly. Still never had a relationship and definitely haven't had see but that's also a choice. It's not weird. There are more of us that you think and in my opinion, waiting to kiss someone was worth it. Nothing ended up happening between us for logistic reasons but I don't regret it. It was right in that moment and it was let thrown away.

  • No. My sisters 20 and she is in every way possible. It's not weird. There's nothing wrong with that at all.

  • No its not weird. Do what you want and whatever makes you happy. Don't stress about it to much, love is not a race.

  • Nah not weird.

  • not weird.

  • Not weird. I was a virgin at 19.

  • It's not. It is only weird, if you freak about everything in life and live in a shadow of doubt and a high state of paranoia.

  • In 7 months I'm fixing to be 21, i never had a real relationship, maybe a couple of short lived boyfriends but never kissed them, im also a virgin till marriage. Some guys have shown interest in me but i blew them off because im not looking for a relationship. I don't want sex or a boyfriend because that's not important to me right now.
    Don't worry about what's normal or not, it all depends how you feel about yourself.

  • Hello 19 y/0 virgin here

  • Not weird. Don't worry about it.

  • Well I'm 19 and haven't done any of that stuff so you aren't alone. We'll find the right person eventually but being shy can sometimes hold you back. I'm shy too and I know how you feel.

  • Not weird at all. You respect yourself.

  • its not weird at all, im 24 and never touched a girl before. so dont worry.
