Never been kissed at 18?

Question

I am on the verge of having a breakdown because of this. My best friend just had her first kiss tonight with her first boyfriend (she’s only one month older than me) and now I feel totally and utterly alone in this. I’m 18 and I’ve never had a boyfriend, never kissed, never done ANYTHING with a boy before. I am starting to feel like no one will ever want me and maybe that there’s something wrong with me. I am going off to a big university soon and I can’t believe I am going into it without ever having a boyfriend or being kissed. I wish I would’ve just gotten it over with years ago just so I at least knew how to kiss when the time comes.... or if it ever comes. I don’t know. I just feel lonely and disappointed in myself. Anyone ever felt like this or been in a similar situation?

Answer

Answer

I was 21 when I had my first kiss and I married him 😍😍 i felt this way many times as a teen but I was so glad I had waited

Answer

You’re only 18! You’re not on your deathbed... don’t rush something just for the sake of getting it checked off the list! Otherwise it won’t be as special. Everything happens at the right time. What if you meet the love of your life this year? Or in a few years? And kissing them first will have been worth the wait? Don’t stress over it. Too many teens are kissing and doing things they shouldn’t be, you’re not missing out on anything! Physical affection is great when it’s reserved for something that is meaningful.

Answer

I was 18 when I had my first kiss.  I'm 26 now, and engaged.  If that makes you feel any better.  And it should.  Because I was just like you at one point.  Thought I was gonna die a virgin just because I hadn't had sex or even kissed anyone.  But that's not true.  Like me, you will not die a virgin.  You won't be the 40 year old virgin.  You are still young.  You still have a lot of people to meet in your life.  I'm sure AT LEAST one of those people will be suitable for a first kiss.  Don't worry.  It all comes with time.

Answer

Don’t worry you’ll definitely have new experiences in school! Just be safe and you’ll have fun. It’s okay if your friend did it before you, life experiences aren’t a competition. Everyone has their own pace 💕☺️

Me too

Answer

My sister is 19 and always felt so terrible about never having kissed someone as her friends all started to. But then out of nowhere she started to date her best friend who had been there for YEARS so you never know what the future holds

Answer

Don’t worry about I literally thought the same thing a few months ago. I thought I wasn’t good enough for anyone but then it just happened one night. You just have to wait for it to happen on its own and not force it.

Answer

Don’t have a breakdown!! It’ll happen when it’s supposed to. You’re still young

Answer

You are definitely not alone in this! I had never been kissed at 18. I didn’t get my first kiss until I was 22, and it wasn’t all that great. I was seeing a guy off and on for a couple of years but he would never commit to a relationship. He told me he wasn’t really into kissing and I could tell lol. Around the time I ended things with him, I started becoming friends with my fiancé. When my fiancé asked me to be his girlfriend, we had our first kiss on our first official date, and it was amazing and passionate! He is a great kisser and I always look forward to getting kisses from him. We just got engaged a month ago, and now I’m 26. All that to say, everyone’s story is different and not everyone has a boyfriend/girlfriend in high school or even college. Just be patient and don’t worry about finding someone. The funny thing is, it seems like a lot of times when you’re not looking for a relationship, that’s when it happens. It’ll happen when it’s meant to, and then when you look back the waiting won’t seem so bad. Enjoy the free time you have now with your friends!! Good luck with everything. :)
