Every little girl dreams about her first kiss, watching Princess Diaries over and over again will do that to you. I always pictured it being a cute boy who gave me butterflies, he would touch my face, we would kiss and my foot would kind of just pop ( Princess Diaries moment)! I always just figured it would happen in high school, that's when it happens for most people - but shocker, it never happened!

I have always spent so much time focusing on myself, I have been trying to get through school. I have been working and setting myself up for the future. Getting my first kiss just wasn't on my radar, I always just thought it would happen when the time was right. Society puts labels and deadlines on so much, they want us to follow what everyone is doing. It has become "normal" to get your first kiss and relationship by a certain time. High school has now become about who has dated who and who slept with who. College had the same stigma, it was all about who was dating who, who the next to get married was and who the next to start a relationship was. No one ever took a step back to think that everyone is at different stages in their life.

I have never seen not having my first kiss as a strike against me. But at the same time, it’s not something I bring up in a conversation. I don't really think people need to know about it. I don't want people to judge me based on one small milestone I have yet to hit.

What I want people to get out of this article is that I am not a prude, I am not waiting till I get married to have my first kiss, I am not judging those who are way ahead of me romantically. I just want to bring to light the fact that not everyone is at the same place in life. Society wants you to think that you have to get your first kiss at a certain time, well I am here to tell you that I am 20 years old, have never been kissed and am doing just fine.

If you are in the same boat as I am, don’t worry, you are not alone. This is also nothing to be ashamed of, there is no expiration date on when life moments like this are supposed to happen.
