WB & BB. I see no reason why either of you can't get a boyfriend. You just walk up to one you like and start talking with him. If he doesn't go for you, just try another one, maybe he was attached.
I know of two women that are actually a bit scary-looking, but they both got boyfriends!
Just so ya know, I was a virgin until I was a few weeks shy of turning 25!! But, to this day (okay, until a few weeks ago), I don't consider myself ever to have had a girlfriend. :-( Every one of them is either spoken for, or not at all interested!!
Trust me, it's a LOT easier for a girl to get a guy than vice versa!!
Take care!!

Thank you so much Missed Miss, this is very encouraging! People don't realize how many people don't lose their virginity until they're well into their 20s.

I've actually had guys interested in me (and in fact there's one interested in me right now), but I'm a late bloomer and wasn't interested in a boyfriend for the longest! Since I HAVE been interested, I've been attracting guys I'm wary of (and rightfully so; turned out this one guy who was convinced I was meant to be his wife has STDs!!!). And I live somewhere where there are no available guys (even my married friend agreed with this). I'm very religious, and I want to date a guy who shares my faith, so that narrows it substantially. So for me, it's not fully a matter of me not being confident enough. Sigh...

And I actually don't mind being a virgin. I'm proud of it. I want to wait until I'm married.

WB, do your best to avoid the pill. I'm extremely wary of it because we believe one of my dear aunts got breast cancer from being on it from a very young age. Try to see if there are alternatives. You're right to be reluctant about going on it.
