I everyone, I'm completely new to the forum and have a two part question....

I'm in my early 20s and haven't had a girlfriend for years, and in fact have never had sex. It's embarassing i know, I'm the first to admit I have no game.

I was severely depressed in university and had body dismorphic disorder, a disorder where one feels ugly all the time; in fact i couldn't look at a mirror for a while and still have that problem sometimes today. Even though i've been told i'm not bad looking by several people....

My first question is this, if I go out with a girl, the issue of sex is going to come up, and how do I explain that I've never had it? I don't want to lie about not having sex but I can't really explain it by saying I had severe depression.... How should I approach it if it comes up????

Another question is, I like a girl who's a friend of a female friend of mine. I'm going to see them on the weekend for dinner, with a couple of their friends, and I want to bring a friend along, but the friend I'm going to bring is I think better looking and in general more attractive than me. I mean he's my friend and I want to bring him along but I know it'll probably hurt my chances b/c the girl I like would likely pick him over me once she sees him, how do I deal with it????

But I kinda feel that by bringing him along, it demonstrates higher value for me to not be worried about bringing a guy like him along and that he's a cool guy.

Thanks and replies much appreciated.
