i'm "experienced" sex-wise and long term relationship wise.... but i've never DATED. i never just casually went on a few dates with guys, etc. that kind of embarrasses me (i turn 25 in 2 days). i didnt go to college straight from HS and i know that's when most of my friends did that kind of dating. it's weird from both sides, so don't feel too awkward about it. everyone is different, does things differently and not always in the same order as their friends.
