So despite having had a couple of casual girlfriends I had managed to get to 19 without losing my virginity.
I had never had a problem attracting girls but for some reason it had just never happened. I was pretty relaxed about it though. I knew my time would come.
One night I got wind of a party at a local place in town. I was recently single and ready to go. I phoned round my friends but because it was late notice I couldn’t persuade any of them to come. I didn’t want to rock up at this place on my own but fortunately the last one I tried agreed to come along.
When we arrived there were a lot of people there we didn’t know and for a while we lingered in the corner, awkwardly nursing our beers.
There were plenty of girls there but we were still at that stage where it wasn’t always easy to try and pick up girls we didn’t know.
Once I had a few more beers inside me I started to enjoy myself but my buddy wasn’t really feeling it. He said he wanted to go. I waved him off, and carried on dancing. He bid me goodbye and said he would see me the following week.
