Virgin at 20, 21.

I'm a 20 year old guy, turning 21 in November.

I've never even kissed a girl, been in a relationship etc.

I have quite low self-esteem/self-worth and stuff so I find it quite hard finding the confidence talking to girls.

My friends describe me as being funny and nice, and I've been on tinder and had 30ish matches and generally I think I'm around average looks-wise.

Anyway, I'm really scared I'm gonna end up dying alone and I'm so ashamed of myself and embarrassed that I'm a virgin, my 3 friends that I live with are all in relationships and it's hard not to get down in the dumps when they all have their gf's around the flat.

It just kinda validates the thoughts of worthlessness and stuff I have.

Any advice?
Why are there so many of these "I am still a virgin at [insert age]" threads being made atm. Like what can we do?? :dontknow:

I asked for advice, I understand if you don't have any, but if so no one compels you to click on them and leave comments.

The point of the thread is that I care and it gets me down, I'm sure it's a bigger problem in my head than reality but I can't control how my brain reacts unfortunately.

People have their priorities all wrong that’s why
You're not the only one whose a virgin at 21 you know

If you that desperate just to have sex go do it, but if you want it to be with someone that means something to you wait.

I was making statement because there have been so many of these threads being spewed out on here atm. At that is the problem. Instead of posting about it online, go out and do something about it.

If these threads

A) bother you and

B) the best you have to offer is "go out and do something about it", then I honestly have no idea why you devote time to reading/engaging with them. Clearly these stress you out and your time would be better spent on something else?

I'm not going to apologise for wanting advice in an anonymous format where maybe there are people who have experienced something similar who could help.

Why are you so sensitive about it? Just relax. I am not seeking your apology. I have seen so many of these threads made and you won't get any useful advice on here, just people also saying they are twenty something and still a virgin. The best thing you can do to solve this problem is to go out and interact with people, it is really that simple, thats how I did it. Posting on the 'The Student Room' will not help you.

That's what low self esteem does to people! It tells them a lie- that they have no hope. That they must compare themselves with other people! Totally pointless. How about finding practical ways to improve your confidence? fakeit to make it! Socialise , learn how to run a convo! write down ten good things about yourself and concentrate on those things!

That might have been do-able five years ago. However these days as everything is driven by the algorithm on a smart phone and people refuse to move outside their little circles, doing an approach isn't really encouraged. If you arent in the university/college ghetto it will be nigh on impossible to score anything if you arent getting anything on Tinder etc...My best advice to the OP is just to go for p4p in eastern europe/se asia and if you are lucky you may not even have to pay.

This is so wrong on so many levels. Yes approaching still works mate, nights out it happens all the time. And yes it easy to score at college/university without ever using Tinder. Actually I am more successful in person than I am on tinder.

Maybe work on your social skills?

Lol. Have you actually ever approached a girl?

You arent allowed. Women stand in circles and throw out the term creep. Then nine months later you hear 'why is the father of my child suuuuch a dirt bag'?
There have been a million posts in the past the same of this on the internet and there will be a million more in the future. There's nothing special, unique or different about you which makes you defective or unattractive to women, it just hasn't happened and/or you've not had the right person come along.

If you're looking to develop yourself as a person and become a more attractive individual. Focus on your appearance, look after yourself, buy some nice aftershave. As well as this, force yourself into positions that make you uncomfortable socially. Whether that's starting a conversation with a barista, shop worker, someone at your gym, whatever. Just do it and make an effort every day to improve and work towards your future self.

The other serious advice I can give, if you're serious about losing your virginity and don't care about anything else, just find an escort or go to a massage place. It's that simple, trust me.

Do you speak to girls irl. Why do you think you can only get girls online? Have you never seen people pull at nightclubs before, it can be done

Ok, but the algorithm seems to produce a lot of lonely virgins or people with zilch social skills!
