(Just a rant here, advice would be appreciated though)
I'm 18 and a virgin which doesn't boter me in the slightest, but for some crazy reason, appears to bother other people. There's a girl on my course who was talking to her boyfriend today on the phone and just happened to ask me if I was still a virgin and I said yes. She then asked if she could take a photo of me so that she could try to hook me up with some of hr boyfriend's friends or something.:eek2:
I admit I'm not one of these who goes around flaunting this or whatever, because it's not something I'm that bothered about.
[/rant over]

I think it's just that thing of if someone has a new gf/bf or has just lost their virginity, they for some reason can't accept that someone else could be happy without those things in their life right now. But yeah, I think everyone hates the assumption that if you're single, you must be looking, or need setting up or something.
If you are happy in yourself you'll find the only people who care are the ones who have a lot in common with giggling hormonal 14 yr olds. (:yuck: at that image though)
It does get a bit crappy when your aunts and uncles start asking why you're still single lol.
I'm 21 (in 2 weeks!) btw.
Fucking hate that question. I just say "because I'm not willing to settle for anyone, like you have."
I get this all the time and it's so annoying. It's not that I'm jealous or anything it's just because it's becoming really boring now.
I get asked why I'm single all the time and I just tell them I don't want a boyfriend! Either shuts them up or then then go, "yeh they're a pain in the arse aren't they!"
I personally would hate to be a virgin past the age of 18. Most people have lost it by then everyone is dating and having sex conversations with their mates. I'd hate to be left out of all of that and feel left behind. Oh and missing out on having lots of sex is a big negative too :razz:
eta: so if it was me then yeah being a virgin would be a big deal. But if a mate was still a virgin (and one practically is because she just doesn't seem interested ) then I wouldn't care. I might wonder about it but they're my mate so I wouldn't judge them. Although if they weren't my mate I might think them a little sad..
didnt loose mine till I was 18 either.
However there's a girl in my classes who only lost it recently and it's all she talks about. She tells us everything and goes on about how premiscuous she is. It's gross.
So ignore what everyone else has to say, do it when you feel right as that's all that matters, too many people regret their first time due to rushing.

I knoe someone who does this all the time and TBH, it's not something I personally care about. Come to think of it, all she ever talks about is her boyfriend.:banghead:
I'm like this right now. I'm not interested in having a boyfriend or losing my virginity but nearly everyone else seems to care about it more than I do.
that girl sounds like a bit of a twat !
at the time i was in quite a close group of girl mates all quite shallow and pretty desperate to 'pop the cherry' so it was like a contest but i just ignored it really and did it when i was ready and i was happy with the age and the boy so it was all good.
If you use protection the chances of that happening are tiny. (unless it fails in some way, which again is tiny)
