text: are you an automatic loser if you're 18 and have never dated?   no, not at all.  never having dated does not mean you are a loser.   look about you, see all the others who would consider themselves successful because they have had a string of dates.    are they content?  i doubt it.  think of all the sexually transmitted diseases that they might be carrying and spreading about.  look for a partner who is clean and chaste who has`nt flaunted themselves about. marry and settle down and be contented. there won`t be any comparisons.
