20 and have no relationship experience

    I'm a 20 year old girl with literally no relationship experience. I'm so embarassed by this. I feel like a freak. Everyone i know has boyfriends on the go all the time. They have guys wanting to be with them, going on dates. And i've never even been asked out on a date or anything of the like. I'm not fat, i actually have a pretty good body, well so i've been told by people anyway.

    A lot of my friends and even strangers are quite shocked by my lack of experience with guys, they think i'm so "pretty". Well obviously i'm not, given my lack of any attention from guys. Because of my lack of experience, i'm shy around guys, i wouldn't even begin to know how to flirt or get their attention. I guess i'm just looking for advice or if anyone else has been in this situation.

    No its not weird. My current girlfriend met her first boyfriend when she was about 24/25, and it didnt even last that long. Im the second (and hopefully last) person shes been with and its going great.
    Ive met loads girls and guys your age who had no experience, its not unusual. If your friends want to date around or have relationships, good for them but dont think of it as a reflection on yourself.

    If you want to meet people, then the best thing to do is just socialise like crazy. When i was single i just socialised abit more and i found i got good at meeting and talking to women and eventually found someone worth my time.

    you said your good looking so its probably just what you do, or where you go. To find someone, you need to be meeting new people alot and get good at socialising. Its simple, ive seen very very ugly people date loads of people. They achieve this not because of their looks but just because they socialise alot and put themselves out there (just dont be needy about it either, this can put people off :P )

    Don't worry. I always thought that I had to find someone in my teens and twenties. And then I just thought I should give up. But it tought me that you can not rush things. I had my first boyfriend in my mid-twenties and got married when I was 29.
    Just enjoy your life and don't worry. Talk with people, go out and enjoy life. And if you meet someone you like and can talk to, then just tell him that you enjoyed talking with him and if he would like to have a coffee or a drink with you during the week.
    Flirting just comes naturally when you meet the right person.

    I didn't lose my virginity until I was between 19 and 20, but didn't have a girlfriend until I was 22 and that was my first serious relationship. 20 is still a pretty damn young age so don't worry!
