Long time boards going unreg for this one.

Basically I'm 19 years old and in college. I have no problem talking to girls at all.
But the thing is I've never even kissed a girl and while I didnt really mind that up till recently, I just figured my time would come eventually and it wasnt really an issue. Now its turning into one. I'm starting to feel a bit pathetic and well behind the pack.

I've got a fairly active social life, as in I go out to bars and clubs on a regular enough basis with friends and all that. But I dont drink and while that isnt an issue, I feel it kind of contibutes to it. I never have that drunken confidance to just go out and score someone on the dancefloor.

At this stage I'm starting to worry about it. If I wait for my first kiss to be with someone I'm with, or am getting with more seriously then I dont want it to be a big pile of awkwardness and possibly put them off. But then again I'm not too keen on just scoring randomers on the dancefloor. I feel awkward enough as it is dancing sober let alone going up and dancing with a complete stranger.

The reason this has kind of become an issue of late is because of some converstations with friends and who they were kind of getting with. They were making comments about the guys and saying how turned off they were about bad kissers. It really got me to thinking.

So what I'd like is your opinions if possible.
Am I as pathetic as I think?
Should I just bite the bullet, take a drink or three and go random scoring on the dancefloor?
Should I wait?
Am I missing something?

If you wait til it's with somebody you really like, they won't mind if you're a bad kisser. If they do mind, then it's their problem that they don't want to be with you for such a stupid reason, and they won't be worth it.
I dont think you're missing much, i was a late bloomer, and it really wasnt such a ig deal:)

19 myself when I first kissed a girl. 25 now and prob only kissed about 8 or 9 girls but I still have a little bit of a rep for being a great kisser! Its not that difficult. Fist time was all tongue and messy.....I quickly learned, it just comes naturally so dont worry.

Jeez man, don't worry in the slightest about it. Kissing is very easy to do, it comes naturally and it really doesn't matter if someone is a "good" kisser or not.

I'd be more worried about your apparent confidence issues.

Right then. Just some resolution on this in case people come across this in a search or something along those lines.

Basically long story short. I asked a girl out. We went out to a club and we snogged.
I cant believe I was worrying so much about it.
Its really nothing to worry about.
Everything is all just very natural.

I'd feel like a bit of a tool about it if I wasnt going out with her again tomorrow :P

Anyway.
