Is it normal to be a 21 year old male virgin?

For the longest time i have been perplexed by this but i am 21 years old and still have my virginity. When i am around a girl i just feel overall nervous and anxious. I could care less if people think i'm weird for it but i just have a hard time picturing myself having sex with a girl that i am not planning on totally opening up too and it's hard to find a girl that i feel that comfortable around because i am shy and have a hard time acting normal, at ease, and confident with myself when i'm around a girl that i'm attracted too. I feel like there is too much pressure on me to take the big dive especially when i am out with friends and there are girls around, i feel like everyone is kind of watching to see if i make an ass of myself and i am scared that i'll end up like the 40 year old virgin! It's like a viscious cycle of being shy and self conscience leads to more dwelling on the fact that i'm just doomed to be a virgin. Any tips or suggestions are appreciated.

    I have a friend who's 23 and still a virgin and everything's fine with him. Except that he could get laid, but that's his choice to make. So, likewise, it's your choice to make when to do it.

    I'm with the girls who are saying that this is super attractive. I think it's more "normal"
    than getting some where ever and whenever you can ~ like a lot of guys at my college. At least the experiance is going to mean something when you share it with someone special.

    Haha girls like it as you can obviously tell.. sex isn't everything it's good to want that connection with someone first.. Just pleaseee don't find someone your comfortable with and have sex with them right away just because you want to have sex. Then you'll turn into the typical douchebag, that's what happens.
    But I say don't think about being nervous or trying to talk to girls when your out and about.. it makes it worse.

    Nothing wrong with that at all...
    I'm no "prude" by any stretch of the imagination, I'm a VERY long time married, crossdresser with a supportive, understandin, accepting, knowledgeable, and helpful wife, who has taught me all the traits to emulate women.
    Too many people, make far too much out of sexual experiences...True, it's all very wonderful, but the sun will still rise in the east and set in the west if one doesn't partake.

    You'll be fine. At one point I was afraid it would never happen for me either, but in the end I'm glad I waited for someone special.

    I'm the same exact way down to the last detail except that I'm nineteen and a female, so it's normal to me.

    you're so cute!!! you're probably unconsciously waiting for the right one. you'll find her. don't think about it so much. just get out there and live your life. it'll happen

    Same here, but I'm a 22 yr old female. And just like you not wanting to be the 40 yr old virgin... I don't wanna be the old cat lady in the appartment below you banging on the ceiling cuz you have your tv too loud and it upsets my cats :-/

    Are you sure its just apprehension? You may be a late bloomer or could you be unsure of your sexual identity? Its okay I was that way when I was young and it turned out I just like guys. No big deal.

    Sounds like you are afraid of intimacy. Get some therapy.
