Ok so I have generally been a complete screw up in women issues. Long story short I am now 20 and still a virgin. Family issues, religious upbringing, and falling way too hard for the wrong girls have made me this. Here is the problem tho... I am a 20 year old virgin. Can anyone handle that anymore? I am seriously just dealing with that issue at this point. After reading "The Game" I have tried picking up girls but always in safe environment (i.e. getting a girl interested in me at a party of a mutual friend. So we can hang out but nothing can develop without that friend killing me.)

So I guess my question is: I'm a decent guy with no serious issues, how do I deal with it being my first time? Should I ignore and not bring that up? I have debated explaining religious backing to it but would it not be a turn off that I am turning my back on religion? I assume that girls will interpret that as a lack of commitment immediately and a turn off. Any help is appreciated.

well I don't know generally about American girls, but i don't think they should be that different from me and my friends.. (yes I'm a girl and I'm from Scandinavia)

but just be upfront about it. Don't see it as a failure being a virgin at 20, many are, girls and guys. And being completely honest I've felt like I wanted to do guys just because they were virgins... and your first time is probably gonna be better if you're honest, than if you ignore bringing it up.
