Is it normal that i am 22, and i have never done anything with a boy?

Hi there! I stumbled across this website as I was wondering if "in fact it was normal" that I am 22 years old and have never-ever had anything happen with a guy? I have been asked out in round about ways, that I didn't even realize were purposed dates, but didn't realize so until after the fact by my friends. I just don't understand how I made it all the way through grade school, college, and grad school by not having ever done anything with a guy. (Even a simple date!) I just want to know what is wrong with me for this to be the case. I get told all the time that I am pretty and I have tons of great friends; however, I've just never dated, kissed, or done the deed as so most of my peers have at this time. I am just wondering if there are other people who are out there that have similar issues? I mean, I am a 22 year-old woman who is: well traveled, physically fit, attractive, and educated. Any and all comments/ advice would be greatly appreciated!

  • You should check the IIN search engine. This isn't the case with most, but happens a large amount of times to be considered normal. So many people come here with the same posts.

    That said, something I tend to find being the problem with such women in these scenarios is that they don't initiate nearly enough, or their idea of initiating is...Well, not.

    We live in a time where women have to start doing the work aswell as the guys in order to have "fun" in that sense, and girls need to start showing their interest in clear ways because so many guys now aren't willing to do the majority of the work, and rightfully so. You want these positive things in life, you'll have to fight for it yourself. Just the way things are now.

    Initiate.

      You have a very good point, and to add to it, many men also dont initiate due to fear of rejection or fear of getting sued for harrassment. So I agree that you should initiate more.

    Maybe because you're too self centered.

    Most people have dated before age 22 so its not 'normal" in that sense. But it isn't bad either. A lot of dating in the teen years really sucks anyway. if you want to date guys start now its not too late! Maybe you are not noticing when guys are flirting with you? Maybe you are not being flirtatious enough. I don't know you but from what you say it sounds like youre datable enough. When you meet a guy you might like to get to know and he seems like hes interested theres no reason why you cant start a conversation. Hang out in a bookstore you will at least meet somewhat literate guys there . Or a café I always see a lot of cute guys hanging out.

    Be proactive. Go to a party. Find a cute guy. Invite him to come home with you. Sit next to him on the sofa at your house and ask him if he would like milk and cookies. Put your arm around his shoulder and say, "Maybe it would be better to have me instead." See what happens.

    There's nothing wrong with you. When the time and guy is right you'll know. Just remember, no glove no love.

    In this day and age its not normal, but I dont think its anything to be concerned about.
