35 male and in the same position, trust me, it's a lot more acceptable for a woman to be in that position than a guy. I'm not saying there aren't some guys out there that will find it a problem, but for the majority you'll do just fine.
At least you're approaching things the right way by picturing yourself asking someone out, rather than waiting for them to come to you.
Just think of things this way if it helps, every person is a new experience, so no-one has any experience with the other person in a new relationship.

That's the beauty of it; you don't have to ask anyone out, & no, I don't think it's a bad thing. I can even respect it. Learn to use eye contact, ask for favors (most of us love to help, especially a gal we're sweet on if she reciprocates)
I'd be more worried about finding the right man. One that's going to be patient with you & take care not to get too carried away when it's your first time. One that has the ability to put your needs above his, at least until you're a bit more experienced then maybe the roles could flip:)

No it's not a bad thing. I lost my virginity at 20 (and it was actually a week before I turned 21 so not far from where you are). I also never dated, kissed or held hands with a guy until I was 20. There's no shame in it.
I don't think guys really care all that much to be honest. In fact I think most would prefer you were a virgin opposed to being super promiscuous.
Just be open and honest when you do date a guy. It can be intimidating at first but if they're a decent person they'll make you feel as comfortable as possible. Once you've done it a few times you'll feel better and more confident.
Don't be afraid to get out there - obviously don't loses your virginity to any old person but don't let the fear of being judged stop you from going out with a guy otherwise you'll likely feel more and more worried about it.You are a girl, so you are not likely to get virgin-shamed.

However, trying to be more social and talkative with guys is a much better course of action that "asking them out" for you.Not a bad thing. At 44 I have never dated. What you are is safe as a virgin and wise not to date just to lose your virginity---the time in human history to do something like that (if there even was such a time) is long past.
be glad that as a girl, you don't have to be the one to approach a guy or hit on someone
I'm 25 and still a virgin. I consider it an achievement. My goal is to make it to old age still a virgin.
25 seems to be the starting age number for when people start to panic the most if they are either still a virgin or never dated anyone
Its alright. I even respect a girl like you. Some girls hook up to get rid of that virgin label. You waited for the right guy, respectable in my book
Be careful, learn from experienced female friends so you are not taken advantage of. Some guys are pigs and only care about what they can get and not sincere in their motives.
No, lots of people are doing other things at that point in life.
No, that is great. Especially if you are looking for a longterm husband.
It shouldn’t be a bad thing I can say the same and I’m 16 and 1/2
you must raise your standards a little more.

I didn't go on a date until I was 27
