DD has never had a boyfriend/kissed anyone/etc.

[19DDaughter]

She's 19. I'm just a bit worried. Would you be a little bit concerned? I don't really know what I'm concerned about, but it just seems a little worrying (for no reason that I can explain).

My teenage years certainly didn't include plenty of kissing boys at the back of the bike shed.

Everyone goes at their own speed. I know that, at that age, boys looked immature and quite annoying frankly.
Once they had mature abit more, they became much mor interesting!

Seems familiar to me too.

Definitely same story about never having a bf or been kissed

^Yes thread has been created before.

I find your level of involvement in your DD's love life a bit creepy. Leave her alone.

Haven't RTFT but my sister didn't have her first boyfriend till she was 20. Not shy but terribly fussy and just not interested. Full disclosure: she did have a fair few snogs in nightclubs though.
Boyfriend actively pursued her and, well, in old fashioned terms, wooed her.
She is still with the same man 5 years on and gave birth to me niece 2 days ago. DD will be fine. Not everyone snogs behind the bike sheds!

My SIL is in her late 50s and has never had a partner (or sexual relations I believe) and seems happy enough.

Ex lost his virginity to me at 21. My sister is 17 and never had a steady boyfriend either over protective sister would wring his neck. Chastity belt all the way Seriously don't worry.

My son is in the same boat and he's nearly 21. Def not attracted to men but definitely very unconfident around women and (I think) afraid to make friends or be close due to bullying incidents from schooldays. Have no idea how to help him.

Unfortunately his younger brother is now at uni and had girls coming out of his ears for the first few weeks. Hes decided to wait for a serious girlfriend now thank goodness.

I'm quite envious actually, I so wish I'd waited until around that age, and skipped the awful experiences I was in such a hurry to achieve.

Blue it's never too late!

None of your business really.

I'm very close to my Mum but certainly never discussed with her at 19 who I had kissed etc

Leave her be.

Leave her alone, she's an adult, making her feel she's missing out/her behaviour isn't normal is cruel. She may be gay, she may be asexual, she probably just hasn't met anyone who rocks her world. She's young, life is long, she's only starting out.

I wouldn't worry.

I had a boyfriend at 18 but didn't sleep with him as I didn't feel ready.

My mum found out we hadn't had sex and hit the roof. She was all like "well, why not?". It made me feel like a bit of a freak.

So tread carefully is all I'm saying.

I was like this. Not interested in boys or kissing or sex. I didn't even go to my school prom because I knew I would have to end up dancing and snogging someone!! As someone else said just build her confidence up and keep talking with her

I didn't start dating or kissing anyone until I was at university. I was shy, geeky and it took me until uni to even be interested in boys really - I had so much other stuff going on in my life at school (hobbies, exams) that it didn't bother me either.
