I have never even kissed a girl at 25 and I feel so insecure
DEAR DEIDRE: I’VE read the average 25-year-old has had ten sexual partners or more, but I’m a guy of 24 and I’ve had none.
I have never even kissed a girl.

My 15-year-old cousin has more experience with girls than me. I’m insecure and feel inferior.
I’m not getting any closer to performing the deed.
Lockdown meant I was stuck at home with my parents.
When we could go out, everyone was scared of the virus – and now everything seems to be shutting down again.
DEIDRE SAYS: These are tough times for those looking for a relationship but don’t fixate on losing your virginity.
A girl likes to be wanted for herself as a special person, not the means to an end.
Use this fallow time to look at why you have found it hard to get close to girls. My e-leaflet on Social Anxiety can help.
