    It's because you're confused about your national identity and have a very high opinion of yourself

    No big deal. There's no "correct" age. :)
    Are you nervous around the opposite sex or has it just not happened yet?

    Do find yourself in social situations were you could end up kissing someone?

    I honestly wouldn't worry, worrying makes it worse and you'll get more nervous.
    I was 18 & half when I had my first kiss and I see nothing wrong with that.
    People get bogged down with 'omg all my friends have kissed and more with people' and 'I'm the odd one out etc'. All my friends had kissed and more with people but I didn't particularly care cuz they're not me.
    You're you, and things will happen when they happen :)

    Mate I'm 22 and I can count on one hand with fingers to spare the number of girls I've kissed. There's no shame involved like you said OP you get nervous, it happens.

    If you want to be more successful with the opposite sex do things to increase your self confidence. For starters get rid of this connotation that your a "geek" because we are all "geeks" in some way shape or form. Also develop a comfort with the opposite sex. Use what you have to make yourself an interesting and approachable person, someone a girl can talk to but would still want to jump the first chance she gets. Keep the conversation simple but keep her engaged make her laugh you dont have to boost her ego to build the attraction.

    Hope this helps and if it doesnt then apologies

    and never kissed

    just get out there, have some fun with your friends, socalize, go out on the town, let your hair down and it will happen.

    Fretting about it will make it a barrier and will not help you get around it. dont think of it as an issue.

    Just make sure to get out, socalize and have fun.

    dont try to hard dont realise your out trying so hard your not acting like your normal self!

    its fine! at that age i was down because i hadnt had a kiss let alone sex. But then as I got chatting to my friends, i realised most of us had our 1st kiss on the night of the debs (18 and finished school). I think its quite common in Ireland as there are single sex schools and people are older getting to meet the opposite sex. I might have been 18 having my 1st kiss, but kissed prob over 80 guys now (lost count). Get out there and enjoy yourself and I am sure it will happen.

    no point worrying about it... i did for years and kind of lost hope i was 16 when i got my first kiss but all my friends had kissed at least one boy at 13.

    i was always freaking out about it but eventually i stopped worrying and just got on with life.. like seeing as ur 18 you could probably have kissed 3 girls in a night club in one night but dont do it that way.. your first kiss you will always remember

    what happened was a friend that i knew for years.. lost contact and then found his number. got in touch and we both realised we had always liked each other and still together 3 years.

    honestly its better to be this age and not have kissed someone because when your 13 to around 16 or 17.. u kiss girls just cause ur friends will slag you if you dont . your now mature enough to not do that. you need to be more confidient. chat to your friends. even ask ur male friends do they know any girls that u would be interested in. go on a date or whatever.. even go in a group. and then at the end of the night kiss her.

    just stop letting it bother you :)

    I wouldn't worry too much about it. There is no age limit for when a person should experience their first kiss. Fretting about it only makes it worse. It will happen when it happens. Try your best to put the anxiety of never having kissed a person to the back of your mind and just enjoy your life. It will make it so much more enjoyable when it does happen.

    As Star Pants said it doesn't matter if your friends have kissed someone already cos you are you and every person is different. Different events happen at different times for each person and your first kiss is one such event. Hell I was 19 when I had my first kiss and it didn't mean I was the weird one or the odd one out. It's just that that is when it happened for me. Trust me when I say try not to let it get you down
