At your age, I hadn't even kissed a girl properly, mainly due to my religious upbringing and extreme sexual repression. I won't even tell you how many more years it took me to lose my cherry.

I say no. That will taint you for the rest of your life, and trust me, waiting for as long as it takes to find a girl that you at least feel comfortable with and feel it's the right time for you is WORTH IT.

Oh and please don't give me the typical cliches, "she will come when you least expect it" or "its no big deal"
No, thankfully we're not that lame, but what specifically are you looking for? Social anxiety happens for a reason. Why do you think that is? Have you considered counselling or reading up on therapeutic ways of dealing with your difficulties?

Seriously, in a decade's time, you'll laugh at the idea that you felt like you were in a rush at the age of 20. You have the luxury of time that many of us don't have!
I see this is your first post, so you've not even started dealing with the forum. You need to slow yourself down and take it a step at a time. Read stuff and have conversations, and above all, don't panic. I was MASSIVELY judgemental towards myself about my lack of experience in my twenties and it was horrible. Please spare yourself that. Just keep talking to people and things will get worked out, IN THE TIME THAT IS NEEDED.
