It's possible. We don't all have the same experiences in life.

No, but one would have to work pretty hard to avoid it.

Not really. I didn't have my first kiss until 23 and I wasn't trying to avoid it. I just never had the opportunity to kiss a guy who I wanted to kiss until then.

I have no idea why I'm asking this and almost can't believe I am...maybe I'm just hoping someone will say it's not so awful that you need to unload a gun into your body because of it...
It may be true that kissing is a fun way to express your feelings to someone... but think about it this way, if you haven't kissed anyone yet it simply means you haven't found the person you have been saving yourself for. I've kissed a few times... but in all honesty I wish I had saved it for the one... even though I haven't met her yet. I may not be in your age group, but I have already made my share of mistakes that you can say you haven't made... and for that I truely envy you.

That's still 7 years before your first hit your 30s.

I'll never understand not having experience because you want to "save yourself for the one." From what I've seen, most people come to resent that they waited. Once they get that experience, they'll crave for more from variety, because they finally realize what they've been missing.

As I said, I have experienced it... and I wish I hadn't now more then ever. Now don't get me wrong... I love the feeling... but I'm sick of having relationships that are dead ends and end up worse off then before. Someone who hasn't had to deal with that is extremely lucky in my personal oppinion.

I understand how you feel but....not everybody is the same.

You have to gain perspective and realize that not everyone is the same nor do they have the same priorites, experiences, or values as everyone else.

I imagine the world would be very boring if that was the case. Everyone has the right to make their own choices and decisions. Just because you cannot fathom the thought of something doesn't mean the other person cannot.

Yes, but still very late compared to a lot of people. I did want to kiss several people years before then.

See, this is exactly the kind of attitude I'm talking about.

This is not. A. Choice. And I'm tired of people talking to me as though it is. I did not choose this. It was not a choice.
