One of my problems is that the social circle I'm in is quite conservative. I don't mean politically, but socially. Very few of them are up for going to campus-wide parties and bars where I assume a lot of the hooking up goes on. Only now have I found some "going-out buddies", and even then, I sometimes find that some weekends are lost because my friends have exams and want to stay in.

I love my friends, but I wish they'd be more outgoing. It's my fault too, for not reaching out to different crowds more during freshman year. But it's also the luck of the draw: most people tend to be closest friends with their hallmates, and some halls were more party-hearty than others. Mine wasn't, at least the people I liked.

But Halloween is coming up. There's a big party on Friday, and hopefully, I will have enough to courage to make something happen. I don't even want sex; I just want to be able to bring a girl up to my room and just make out all night.

Then go for it.  Like you said, it's really on you.  Just because you didn't do it in your freshman year doesn't mean you still can't do it now (I do realize it would have been easier as a freshman).  Go out to parties, try something new.  If anything, maybe this party will let you find another set of friends that's more outgoing.

It's really up to you.  Personally, I like being a pretty boring person, and I hate the idea of partying, and I'm happy with that.  Maybe your fiends are similar to me.

And overall, just make sure you don't focus so much on doing things before you're 21 such that you end up doing something you seriously regret later, right?

nothing wrong with being a virgin...some girls like that....rather then a man whore

Any girls will say they prefer a man with experience, you don't have to be an STD ridden man-whore to have sexual experience. top making things up.

Totally untrue.  Don't make horrible generalizations, please.

My bf and I started going out a year ago, during our freshman year of high school.  When I found out he wasn't a virgin, I totally freaked out.  I mean, he doesn't know I was so freaked out, but I was.  I still wish he had been a virgin so we could have experienced everything together, you know?  I was always worrying I wouldn't be able to measure up his past experiences, because I didn't know what the hell I was doing!

Hey! I just graduated from college so I think I have a better idea of what the "norm" is for sex and college.

First of all, it isn't unusual to find an older guy who's a virgin. I actually know a few guys in their mid-twenties who haven't had sex (and they're not losers). The guys that get laid all the time are usually jerks and part of a certain crowd (frat guys, jocks, student government people, partiers). As stereotypical as that sounds, it's true. The girls they hook up with also tend to be the same (slutty, heavy drinkers, partiers, social climbers).

Get out of these groups and you'll find virginity isn't uncommon.

Maybe you're looking for girls in the wrong places. Try going to classy places, get your friends to introduce you to someone they think you'd like/vice versa.

Also, most girls DO NOT prefer jerks or guys with more experience. You can't speak for the majority of girls.

And now, I'm really concerned that I'll turn 21 (in early 2009) without having made any sexual progress since high school. I've asked out a couple of girls I liked, because I'm more comfortable in a dating rather than a hooking up scenario, but they both turned me down. I've got a lot of other girls I'm interested in, and I hope to be dating them soon, but what if they all turn me down too?

I think I have to start being more sexually aggressive and unapologetic.

I was fortunate in having a girl take me in hand at a young age and show me the ropes so I didn't come off as hesitant or shy. Girls can sense this. You need to find a girl slightly older and experienced and just frankly tell her you want some lessons. I've had several friends who have done this and it worked out well and turned their lives around socially.

Pleasee don't feel ashamed of this. You sound like an awesome genuinely nice, good guy, which is actually so rare these days. There are way too many douchebags and manwhores out there that are a dime a dozen. Don't give into the pressure. You sound like one of the few guys I would actually have a lot of respect for. <p> It's not true that girls don't like nice guys. In fact, there's nothing more unattractive to me personally than a guy who's arrogant or who is acting like a douche and comes off as a manwhore. I've been asked out and hit on manyy times by guys like that and they rarely get anywhere. I'm a 21 yr old girl in college, when I know a guy values that sort of thing he actually becomes a whole lot more attriactive to me because of that. A lot of girls love guys who are like that, they may just be harder to see sometimes. It may be because they are more shy or less confident,  <p> It really depends on the kind of girl that you want too. I have lots of friends who don't value sex and stuff and just sleep around with whoever happens to be conveinent. They tend to have the attention span of a fruitfly and will forget about a guy and be on to the next one before you know it. What's the value in that though? It's something that you can't take back. You're okay, stick to your guns! you'll be fine.....
