Is it normal that i haven't kissed a girl and i am 18?

Now before I get all the macho jocks telling me I am a fag for not kissing a girl, I just want to say that I have letterd in football, wrestling, and track, am pretty muscular and I have had no problem getting attention from girls.

With that being said, I was raised pretty old fashioned. You know, open doors for girls, let them sit if no other chair is available, stuff like that. I just have a different view of dating than most guys my age and probably girls for that matter. Anyway, being a guy, I know how hard it is to just STOP after you get aroused so I decided to eliminate the problem altogether and just draw my personal boundary at kissing because I don't want to end up not being able to stop until....you get the picture and yes I am a virgin and it is something I want to save for marriage. YES I know its another weird thing "What an 18yr old guy who's a virgin?" Another reason I haven't kissed a girl yet is because I want to save as much as I can for my wife whoever she is, and I just think it would completely shock her to hear that I waited just to kiss her.

Sooooo the question is.....am I being to extreme in my beliefs or should I branch out more?

    Listen to me and hear me well.

    When you get to be an older man, you will look back on this time in your life and realize how stupid you were.

    Your goal should be to bang every 18 year old girl you can because now is the best time to do it.

    TRUST ME ON THIS. I didn't realize it either at your age, but now is the time to sow your oats.

    BANG EVERYONE. Just wear a condom every time.

  • Some of these commenters DISGUST me. People like these are the DEVIL running around making the entire world as slutty as they are. And no, I am not religious. I'm just human with morals, respect (including self-respect), dignity; I value myself and others, and I think you are completely normal. Everyone has different views, and unfortunately manwhores seek to want to pressure their nasty beliefs onto the few good men left like you.

  • I hate old fashioned people. All the girls would love it if everyone acted that way, but it would ruin my life. No offense or anything.

    Yes totally normal. Wayouthere simply doesn't understand the Christian religion and the morals we have (I'm asumming your a Christian because I am and I believe the same thing). Temptation and pressure is horrible sometimes,I know. So stick with it :)

  • I think it's really sweet your waiting for marriage I am too. But I've still kissed. But don't do anything stupid you'll regret and keep true to your faith. Your wife will appreciate you more for it that you are truely hers, and haven't slept with 25 girls like most guys your age.

    seriously, any girl would be lucky to have you and the world needs more guys like you. Dont give in to social pressures or what people may think. I'm an 18yr old girl who by choice is doing the exact same thing, an i think it is comforting to know that there are some guys out there that are doing the same thing.

    Ok, so WayOutThere is probably right about the thing being somewhat abnormal; but I don't think is wrong. Is good that you stand in your beliefs.
    I do believe however that you're not giving yourself enough credit, if you really don't want to do something you might regret you probably won't; you are a man not an animal, you have enough self control not to kiss a girl.
    Botton line: It's ok to reserve yourself, and you sound like a true gentelman (we like that). But you don't necessarily have to restrain yourself from everything

    While what wayoutthere said is true for many people, don't let it deter you. There are still other romantics out there. Some women will think it's the most romantic thing ever that you saved yourself for them.

    It's fairly normal that you haven't kissed a girl by 18. But, the fact that you haven't done so by choice, I think is abnormal.

    You haven't stated so explicitly, but you believe that "saving" your virginity for marriage is a moral virtue. Regardless of whether or not you are religious, this idea, this belief, is a religious one. And, I'll treat it as such.

    In marrying someone, you are (in theory) making a life-long commitment--'till death do us part. By not engaging in sex with your chosen partner, prior to marriage, you are depriving yourself of information that is critical to the marriage decision: (1) How good is she in bed? (2) How does she compare to other women? (3) And, most importantly, how does sex actually feel, and how important is it in your life? You cannot judge its importance without actually experiencing it.

    How can depriving yourself of this information, and thus making a marriage decision blindly, be considered a virtue?

    It's not a virtue at all. It's being foolish. Your lack of sexual experience will make you awkward, in the eyes of other women. It may even result in sexual problems. Just look at what happened to this 28 year old virgin man, and his 22 year old virgin wife...

    Religion typically uses the carrot and the stick. So, a corollary of your belief is that sex outside of marriage is a sin. I've already addressed this topic here:

    You are right that a woman might be completely shocked to learn that you have been "waiting" all these years, just to kiss her. She'd probably even freak out! Then, she'd run away.
