it's definitely more special if you're at least 15-16ish 'cause whether anyone admits it or not you've matured quite a bit since you were 12 or 13 and you'll appreciate it more if you're older and really have feelings for someone.
I feel like its better when people do it at like 13, just to get it out of the way. Then, if its awkward (which it probably will be), its reasonable, because you were only 13 ya know? Everythings awkward at that age.
I'm almost 18 and I've never kissed anyone, though.
I got my "first kiss" when I was 12. It meant a lot to me, and yes I did feel all the feelings you should feel. But I consider my legit first kiss was at 14, where there was tongue involved.
Kisses under 11 years old don't count, when you're that age you don't even understand what you're doing. I hate when people think they have had their 'first kiss' when they're like in kindergarten. Just no.
Not pathetic in the slightest. I didn't get mine until I was 19. That sounds odd, but I actually think it made it that much better. I could have had it way earlier a bunch of different times, but I just didn't feel like it was the right time with any other person. Waiting until I was with someone I really cared for made it that much more awesome. And a lot of people talk about how they got their first kiss at like 13 and how awkward it was, but my first kiss wasn't awkward in the slightest. It actually felt amazingly natural. Wow. That sounds so cliché. But it's totally the truth. I know people are going to be like "OMG!!!11!!1 You didn't get yours until you were 19?! Freak." But I really don't care. Bring on the hate, people. XP
Yeah, but I've never even been in a situation where a guy tries/wants to kiss me. Heck, I've barely even hugged any guys. And I know I'm not a weirdo or anything....people always compliment my clothes, hair and makeup, but when I even try to talk to a guy.... it fails miserably! NO NORMAL GUYS LIKE ME
Don't worry. I faced that issue as well. I had stupid guys who tried dumb shit around me during my middle school ages, then they just stopped appearing interested because they didn't get what they wanted from me. Guys didn't even start to really take any notice of me again until I was 17 or 18. I thought I'd never find any nice normal guys that would like me for me, but I eventually did. You just have to get out there and meet new people. I actually met the guy I had my first kiss with and that I dated for some time when I got a new job. Meeting new people is a key part of life and it will help you in your dilemma. Don't worry about it and keep your head up. :) I realized when I stopped purposefully seeking someone just so I could have someone and just went on with my life is when things finally started going right.
I just don't wanna die alone :( but I know, too soon to worry about that. I guess I just worry because I figure that since I don't even have a good group of friends, and never have, that no guys will ever want me either. I just don't know what I do wrong...
I'm in the same situation. Or at least no normal guys to my knowledge.
and MadHatter: It is really cute and awesome that you hadn't gotten your first kiss until nineteen.
I think that's pretty awesome, honestly. :) I got my first kiss when I was 13 and it was awkward and I look back at it now and laugh. XP Now, I wish I would have waited a couple more years when I knew what my feelings actually meant. :b
Why, thank you for thinking that's awesome. :) I usually get the response described in my original post when people find out. And I understand about the feelings part. There was no way I was emotionally mature enough at age 13 to really comprehend my feelings.
Yeah totally. I have friends who are 18 and complain "I've never been kissed." I always say "That's not necessarily a bad thing... I wish I could say that." And honestly yeah, because if I would have waited then I know my first kiss would have been special instead of looking back and laughing at it. So I think it's really cool. :)
17 as of the year 1990, and too months younger every year since.
well that's an average, i guess, but not necessarily whats normal or right for everybody
I know, just a bit of anti-humour. I'm strange like that.
Also, that should have said "two".
Woah...so someone would be what, 7?
I don't think you're good at math.
2 months, not years.
14 and waiting. :)
ditto.
Same here
Considering what people have said, I'm kinda glad I didn't get my first kiss yet

..tongue?
I'm seventeen and never even had a boyfriend, let alone a kiss. And hopefully it will be worth the wait...
You don't have to be kissed at an early age, the problem is if you want to be kissed and no one wants to kiss you.
I had my first kiss at 14. Compared
to most people, I was a little slow. o.o
5 for me :) and yes it was a real kiss. Too bad he's not as nice as he was back then. sigh

Um, ten or eleven years old. And yes, legit kiss.
I'm 16, almost 17, and never been kissed. This is pathetic. amirite?
No. I don't think it's pathetic. It will happen soon and when it does, it will probably mean more than if you were only 13 and got your first kiss.

Story of my life.
Oh believe me. I'm the exact same way.

I haven't got mine either.
i'm also 16 if it makes you feel better
I think average should be 12-14.. I got my first kiss at 13.
