I'm 16 and I still haven't held hands with a boy, slow danced with a boy, kissed a boy, gone on a date, or anything like that.
Worse yet, everyone at my school thinks I'm some kind of uber lesbian, and I'm not. I just wish that there was someone out there for me that I could find soon, because I don't want to become a slut, but I'm so sick of being teased for waiting for someone just right. And everyday I start to think that maybe I'm not holding out for someone, maybe I'm just so fucked up that no one wants me and I haven't come to terms with that.

I know this absolutely amazing guy who is 17 and in the same boat. He gets made fun of a little for not being very social, and not having much experience with girls, but that's because he's also waiting for something meaningful.
I actually like him a lot, but I'm going away to college soon, and we both have very full summers, so it's not going to work out for us to be dating.
So trust me, there are very nice, respectful guys out there who will love you all the more because you didn't fool around just for the sake of it. Waiting for someone good is a great idea, just don't expect somebody perfect. You have to be willing to get to know the weirdest guys, and you'll find absolute sweethearts.

I am the same age, and have never dated anyone either.
But you know what? I laugh at all the other teens getting pregnant or destroying their relationships in a matter of weeks. I find it hilarious. I giggle when people have less respect for me just because I'm not sleeping around. You don't want respect from those types of people.
Trust me, you and I are better off. Because we won't fall for just anyone, and it's easier to not get hurt that way.

I was in a similar situation when I was in High School. I didn't date any guys or anything and people thought it was weird. It really doesn't matter. I went off to college and met a great guy. We were together for two years and even though we recently broke up, I was happy. I don't know of anyone that stayed together with their high school bf/gf. High school's a really shxxxy time in life when you are judged for everything. Just don't be in too much of a rush to grow up. I wish I had enjoyed it more instead of worrying what everyone thought all the time. I have many friends that regretted how they were in high school (having sex, drinkng etc.) All I can say is, when you get older and look back on high school you realize how silly it all was and how no one was a grown up as they thought they were. Keep hanging in there, you'll meet the right guy when you are ready.

Everyone's said it, and I'll say it again:
Don't compare yourself to other people. Everyone's path in life is different, and just because you haven't done things with a boy you wish you had doesn't make you bad or lame or anything else. The time will come when you find someone, and I know he'll be good for you. Who knows what will happen, but sometimes waiting is good. (For instance, my first serious relationship is also my last. We're best friends, and we're engaged. He was the first guy I'd been naked in front of, and I don't care that he's my first because we just fit together.)

Listen. It's fine to feel worthless, to be honest it sometimes makes me happier than feeling valued. A relationship isn't going to help you though. You need to evaluate yourself and figure out what makes you a worthwhile human and what would make someone else like you. Do that and you'll exude the confidence needed to get a guy. Or, you can continue in the limbo state of worthlessness with me.
