By the time I get to college, I will be 18 years old. I haven't had any girlfriends, never kissed or came close to kissing one, barely speak to them, and still am shy with them. By the time I get to college, how am I going to know what to do in a relationship or simply talking to them or trying to kiss them?

Don't worry about it, Spidey. Just get to know a girl well first before trying to kiss her.
And let her get to know you well first; this will show you respect her, yourself and the
relationship. Who knows? After getting to know her better, you may be glad you didn't
kiss her so soon.

amen to that, I'm glad I didn't kiss the last girl she was so mean. i want my first kiss to be special...

Did you ever notice, when you go to a wedding, how at the end of the ceremony, the preacher says "you may now kiss your bride"? Well ok, they use to say that, Im not sure if they do anymore... That comes from an old tradition of the man and woman not being allowed to share even a kiss until their wedding night.. Imagine what it would be like to have your first kiss, your first sexual experience on the day of your wedding with the woman that will spend the rest of her life with you... Imagine, you and her learning how to make love, and learning how to please each other together. That is the best way to learn about sex. No prior commitments, no wondering if you were better then anyone else she might have had. She doesnt have to worry if you are thinking about an ex... its all about just you and her....
Josh Harris wrote a book titled "I kissed dating goodbye" Might be worth buying.
I know a young man, that had several relationships before he got married. He was taught by his mother, to save himself for his wife, but he was taught by his father and other folks, to get all that you can get... He listened to the father and the other folks. He gots herpes from one of those relationships. Recently, he got married, and confided to his mother that she was right, he should have waited for his wife. Now he not only feels like he cheated himself and her out of the first time experience, but they also have to be cautious about the possibility of giving her his STD.... While the world says rush in, go for the gusto.... sometimes its so much better to wait until the timing is perfect... Dont rush spidey... all good things come to those who wait!

well idk if I want to get married, but to me marriage is just a piece of paper. it doesn't mean that the couple will always be together because many couples get divorced now as it is. I'd have sex/kiss if I really like the girl and see something can work.

For millions of people in the world, marriage is arranged by the parents with no input from the kid.

I have a very dear east Indian friend who was married that way. She did not want to get married; because she wanted to finish her college degree and was building her career. She flew home, to India, to visit her parents for her annual 2 week visit. When she got off the plane, she was introduced to her fiancee and was married while she was there. Huge wedding. Lots of presents, especially gold. She loves her parents very well; and would have been ostracized by the community and parents, if she had not obliged.

For several months after, she and her husband lived in separate cities of the USA while they were trying to adjust and somehow deal with their careers. Somehow, it worked out; because they had a baby and have moved to another part of the country together and have new careers.

Well I was reading a book called "beating the college blues" and it has a whole chapter about sex. it said most college students will talk as if they are experienced but realistically about almost every freshman has had no or little sexual experience. Only about 15% of seniors haven't had any experience by the time they graduate.
