Is lack of experience a turn off?

Question

I'm a senior in high school and I've never had a girlfriend. On top of this I have never kissed a girl either. I think I'm attractive and I do get a lot of looks in public. Just when it comes to talking to girls, I always choke-up and sound like a 12 year old. Is it bad to have never kissed a girl by the age of 18? I pretty sure I'm the only guy out of my friend group that has never kissed a girl. This also kills my confidence because I'm afraid lack of experience is a turn off?

No not for me because I am the same... I mean but you have to learn to be smooth but you can practice and find ways to boost your confidence. You need to believe in yourself and love yourself.
I'm a junior in HS I have never had a boyfriend, kissed one, held hands etc. it's embarrassing and a lot of the others in my class have had this. But whatever.
I get a lot of looks from boys my age / eye contact etc. and people say i am pretty / cute etc. but I don't know its annoying because no one's asked me out yet lol!!!

just try to talk to girls (friends) at first who aren't your crushes and try to get comfortable with them
I used to be nervous around boys my age and I still am with a crush/cute guy, but who isn't nervous around their crush? but through learning self-confidence and love and to be yourself I'm definitely NOT as nervous around guys my age that I see often. I am polite and they are friendly and nice to me back or even flirty lol. So do the same thing, treat girls with respect and you will be able to talk to them more easily over time!!!

Everyone is different but no, it's not a turn off.
There are girls out there who feel the same way as you! As someone with little experience, I'd rather have a guy with little to no experience. That way we can learn together and there is not anything to compare it to so it reduces the fear of being judged.
Good luck!

it can't be a turn off - but don't tell it her at the start. she will think you are not confident.

and that's the turn off.
show confidence at some level, and that way you will GET confidence.

just talk casually with the girl.
we all are human beings with our common insecurities when it comes to dating.

Educate yourself with some good porn and go out on a limb and take a chance sometime the worst that can happen is disappointment but there are plenty more prospects out there be confident and teachable as long as you always aim to please that exactly what you'll end up doing learn as many tricks orally that you can because the minute you get that down you will never leave a lady unsatisfied

Lots of people are insecure about lack of experience I recommend finding a few inexperienced open mind people u just try have fun with explore eachothers bodies mutually and see what feels good for eachother this'll build confidence for other relations and make a few pleasant memories :)

It’s not bad at all because at some point everybody has been inexperienced in relationships. I didn’t have my first kiss till I was 15 while many girls in my school had bf’s at that age and I never had my first boyfriend till I was 20. It’s good to wait till you find the right person instead of sleeping and fooling around with every girl in the world cuz girls don’t like guys who have a long list of girls they’ve been with for nonrelationship reason

Bruh,

I'm 19, a sophomore in college, and have never had a boyfriend. Nor have I kissed a dude, made out with one, or held hands with one. I can relate to what you said about how people seem to ogle you in public. I've been catcalled and almost got kidnapped once (good thing I actually knew what to do at that point instead of just standing there). So you're not alone dude :) And in my opinion lack of experience isn't exactly a turn off, in fact, some people like it!

No... eighteen is still a young age. I'd say it starts becoming a turn off for me at around twenty four twenty five

Nope, just tip of advice: don't be like my ex and use a lot of teeth and use your tongue like a helicopter when u kiss. Your future girlfriend will appreciate it.

It's not even important if you're inexperienced, doesn't matter of you're 18 or 80. Some people don't care

No it isn't, if you feel like you're ready maybe start dating girls you like. You can also try online dating stuff.

Lack of experience isn't a turn off. Everyone goes through not having experience. You need the experience to gain the experience. Don't think about it. It's natural.

deraz24 · Answer

I mean everyone has to start somewhere, just put yourself out there and go for it

naraku · Answer

For me no. Everyone has little to no experience at some point in there life. so it's too be expected if she has little to no experience in your situation.

Senior in high school. You've got your whole life ahead of you, don't worry about it. When you get to be my age without having done any of that stuff, then you start to worry about it.

It's not a turn off. It's actually a turn on for many. Guys are not looking for nymphs in bed.
