"At least your friends have dating experience. At least, they feel like they have a chance. Me, I'm never given even ONE. I'm 21 approaching 22 yet I'm still a virgin, I've got no dating experience, no dating skills that I can acquire other than being my "shy, quirky and sweet" self, ...

I'm just done. I'm just going to accept it. I'll never find a girlfriend. I'll always be a virgin. I'll never know what it feels like to be loved I've been on dating sites, no one ever talks to me. I've tried in person, now that's impossible. All of this has caused me more strife and loneliness than...

I've rarely been getting on dating apps nowadays so I'm beginning to wonder if this is something I even want anymore. I rarely ever feel affection towards anyone. I can't even remember the last time I did. I feel like some part of me is telling me this is something I want but now I just don't know a...

I think I figured out why I want a girlfriend so bad. It's because I've never known what it feels like. To have someone flirt with me. To touched and cuddled. To have someone jump from behind and give me a huge hug. I just want to know what it feels like to be close to someone and to be loved. It fe...

I'm a shy, awkward guy with anxiety and autism. I have absolutely no idea how to flirt and only a vague idea of what he wants from a partner. If some girl flirted with me, I wouldn't know how to respond so I'd either bumble like an idiot or sit there silently. I know that most girls do not find that...

This quarantine really sucks, but at the same time, it's given me a long time to reflect. On what virginity is, what it means to lose it and what it even means to have sex in general. Like what's the point of it all and existential stuff like that, you know? I've been told plenty of times that the o...

I've been debating for a long time whether to lose my virginity to a stranger or just wait to give it to someone "special". There are a lot of complicated factors that are influencing my hesitation. On the one hand, apparently, virgin men are not attractive. I read online that girls tend t...

It's not that special. She just has tons experience dealing with autistic offspring. She knew that I just needed a little context

A few months ago, I posted a "topic" where I basically screamed into the void about my frustrations of never having a girlfriend and the struggle of finding one. I didn't mean anything by it and only did it as a way to release 3 years worth of pent up frustrations in a way that wouldn't ha...

Is there any way that I can meet these gamer girls in person? I feel like it would make things a hell of a lot easier

As someone on the spectrum, I have very limited interests. Those interests include video games, anime, and drawing stuff from both. That being said, I feel that I'll have a much easier time talking to girls who have those same interests. The problem is I know gamer girls take extra steps to make sur...

Well, no, of course not. Everyone has their own level of sexual boundaries, I understand that. Now that I think about it, I guess I'm probably not asking the right question here. I guess it's just that I often imagine myself getting and acting flustered in front of someone I like. I often hear that ...

When I try to flirt, I always get way too nervous when I try to compliment a girl. I mean, normally if it's just a regular compliment like "Hey, these drawings you made are really nice!", I'm fine. But when it comes to using words like "cute" or words that have an affectionate co...

What you said about doing something wrong or revealing my inexperience, I think you may be on to something there. I don't feel genuine affection towards a lot of people so chances to gain experience are few. So I always feel like I'm at a disadvantage

With all due respect, while I am experiencing and dealing with a bit of FOMO, I don't think it completely explains my behavior. Mainly because this timidity doesn't just apply to wanting to get laid. It's the idea of sex in general and the atmosphere it creates. Whenever I try to make a sex joke, I ...

I used to think that flirting with a girl was something that you only did after a few days or so of getting to know her, otherwise you come off as a creep. But apparently there is a way to flirt with a complete stranger right off the bat! I already know some of the basic don'ts of flirting: try not ...

Ok here's the deal. I can be myself and not pretend all I freaking want, but when it comes to actually approaching a girl and making a good impression, I have no clue how to even start. I have asperger syndrome so I can't even tell what makes a good flirt from a creepy one. I'm awkward, my sense of ...

I just got a message warning me that something that I posted violated Scarleteen's user agreements. Judging from what I said, I'm assuming its because I was just venting some frustrations and came off as......let's just say a bit too aggressive. It made me realize how intense my emotions are and tha...

Excuse my ignorance but I kept phasing out during sex ed in middle school. I just wasn't ready to learn about the process of baby making In movies, whenever a character is about to give birth, you always see people trying to rush her to the hospital in a panic. Why is that? What is it about having a...

Is that really what men see about virginity? Just being able to own them?! That's fucked up. I was under the impression that they got off on the idea of "wanting to taint a pure, innocent soul. The value of being wanted by someone who wouldn't give themselves away to just anyone. Watching them ...

I honestly don't know

I think I figured out why I want a girlfriend right now so badly. I could be wrong but I think it's because I want to experience young love specifically. When everyone isn't trying to act all mature and strict. People keep talking about all these experiences they have with dating and I want to feel ...

I remember crushing on girls only a few times when I was in high school. Sure, it was probably just infatuation and it never went anywhere, but I guess most crushes are like that. It was something. I didn't know how to move off of it at the time but at least I had a starting point. Even then, it onl...

I've never touched this subject before until a few months ago. I occasionally look up tutorials for how to have sex and how it works. But it seems like every time someone accidentally looks over my shoulder or gets behind me when I'm looking at this stuff, I instinctively close out the window. This ...

I know it can be an attractive quality for girls to have, but what about for guys? I know everyone has their own preferences but how likely is it for a girl to be turned on by my inexperience?
