20F never been in a relationship, trying to figure out what’s going on
I’ve had opportunities, have been asked out quite a bit, and even got into my first situationship last year, but for some reason I always cut it off after the first or second date (or with the situationship I just got a really bad ick) either because they weren’t what I was looking for or because I got scared and said no to a second date
Im a total virgin, never even kissed. I think im just scared? But I don’t even know what I would be scared of
Im in school so I’ve been told this is the time to meet people and gain experience but I feel like im not and I feel like im behind
Does anyone have advice on how to get over this and date? I came from a really sheltered background so I have no experience actually pursuing relationships and am in general very confused about how they begin

- The best advice I can give is don’t worry about dating just do it because society says you have to. I didn’t start dating until I was 26 so you have time trust me. Do it when you feel right. Do it when you truly love yourself and are comfortable with who you are on the inside. I have found the only way we can love one another is when we love ourselves first.
- Don’t force yourself into something that doesn’t feel right if you think you’ll regret it. I’ve been lucky in meeting “the one”. But I would honestly rather stay single than throwing myself into something with a person that doesn’t feel completely right
- Same here. I’m 24M and never been in a relationship. Never flirted with anyone, nor anyone ever flirted with me? My advice: Don’t push yourself beyond your own comfort.
