I looked at the people in my high school yearbook and after looking over each person, saw that everyone in my grade has kissed but me (which is about 250 people).

Everyone in my family but me has kissed before 19. All my friends and professors -- same story. Everyone on my dorm floor. Albert Einstein. Stephen Hawking. Bill Gates. Larry Page. The Unabomber. Even the Columbine Killers and Seung-Hui Cho. They all got kissed before 19. 50% of MIT students have already lost their virginity. My college is nowhere ranked near theirs.

It's so hard for me to find anyone since I'm in engineering, which takes up a lot of time, so for next year, I traded in the classes I want for easy classes just to make more room, and I plan to lower my GPA as necessary. Plus, I don't fit in with the girls, not even the nerdy ones, and I get life-ruining rejections when I try to go out. So I'm not sure what to do about that part. In fact, everyone made fun of me in high school and now, even the special ed kids.

I am good at school, but have no personal interests, not even video games, and can't develop any personal interests to save my life.

I'm pretty sure people with low-functioning autism have kissed before 19.

Probably the thing that most stood out in your post to me was the whole "everyone made fun of me, even the special ed kids".

I've been made fun of by special ed kids- the point is there are morons across all spectrums.

You do not want to sacrifice your dream just to meet a girl, one by putting yourself in this situation almost every girl you're even remotely attracted to's friendship with them will be tainted by the onus that you're looking for more.

Make sure that you make friendships first--I talked to a girl in my job who has only been here 2 months and keeps getting hit on by several guys. People always rush things--you want to slow down enough to know she's comfortable with you as a person first. Thats with anyone.

Are there no girls in engineering?

I've always thought that kissing is rather overrated.

I wasn't kissed until I was 22.

I'd like to take the kisses back, because the shrew didn't actually love me.

And just for the record I've not been kissed since.

I had my first kiss a few months from my 19th birthday, and I have a friend who had hers at 20. The only advice I can give, if indeed you seek it, is to remember that no matter how life-ruining rejections may seem, they never really are.

Oh, and Sir Isaac Newton is meant to have died a virgin, if for some reason having a famous person in the same boat helps. I couldn't really tell whether it would or if not having one was just a problem.

Me, my first kiss came at 21, but the circumstances surrounding it were, charitably speaking, awkward.

I made it to 29. It happened only once and sadly has yet to be repeated. :cry:

I got my first kiss late 19, it's not uncommon for people with Aspergers/Autism to be a bit behind in the romance stage compared to others. I didn't start thinking about sex until around 17, and still feel really behind XD

Not until 30. A few weeks after my 30th birthday I got my first boyfriend. But I didn't like kissing, it felt too wet. It took me months to get used to it.

29 so far but it's not something I must do or anything. It would be meaningless to me unless I REALLY loved the girl and I have yet to meet anyone I can say that about.
