I was in exactly the same position as you. I felt incredibly pressured, and like a total freak. Like you, I'm definitely not ugly, but I felt like the fact that I was a virgin somehow meant that I was unattractive. Not true. There were tons of guys I could have lost it to before I did, but I was waiting for it to be right (which, for me, meant a guy I cared about and trusted.) I ended up losing it at 20, to a guy I'd been dating for a few weeks. He was 24, and we ended up breaking up a month or two later, but I have absolutely zero regrets. I He was a sweet guy, he knew I was a virgin, and was willing to wait until i was ready. I know that if I had lost it sooner, I probably would have regretted it, because none of the guys I had dated before him were 'right'. And if he wasn't the right guy I wouldn't have slept with him, I would have continued to wait. Don't rush, it will happen when it's supposed to happen, but don;t worry so much about the guy having to be a virign. Honestly, it's going to be a lot more comfortable for you if he isn't lol. Find a boy your tust and care about and want to give your virginity to, because you can't take it back once you've done it. Oh, and as a sidenote, the guy I lost my virginity to lost his at 22, almost 23. I don't know why, he's a really sweet, cool guy and a total hottie, but like us, it just didn't happen for him until then. it's not as uncommon as you might think, there are probably LOTS of people at your school who are still virgins, they just don't talk about it.
Don't stress, hun. it will happen when it's supposed to.
