As a father of a growing girl, the whole "dating" thing worries the hell out of me. On the one hand, I don't want her getting into trouble as a teenager, and want her to wait till she's old and wise enough to make a proper decision about "boys". But on the other hand, I don't want her to be as awkward and naive as you obviously were (no offence intended). But how to find that middle ground...?

An I love the way you tell it. I was a bit of a late starter, as well. I went to an all boys high school, and by the time I got to college, and first began dating, I had no idea what they hell I was doing. Looking back now, I missed some wonderful opportunities. But I don't regret going to an all boys school. Not having to deal with the pressures of dating helped me focus more at school and build a stronger personal foundation. Great story.

Being extremely tall and skinny at school had me subjected to a number of unflattering nicknames and my boyfriend experiences nil. I truly blossomed in my 20's and never suffered any lack of male attention. however, I galloped towards my 40's and still no sign of marriage. fGetting great boyfriends was always quite easy but getting a man to marry me proved to be SSSSSOOOOO elusive. Today, I am happily engaged to the most wonderful man and now live in a beautiful house in the South of France and am busy planning my summer wedding. Gosh, I can so relate to your story.

All of them are great gals, funny, attractive, interesting. At school they thought it was too early to start dating, then at university each of them met a guy, and unfortunately having problems. I'm sure they will overcome the stresses and find perfect males. It's all about time. As for me late blooming is no actual problem if you date the right person. The problem is when you date the wrong one. And it's a really great one. The same story happened to my close friends. All of them are great gals, funny, attractive, interesting.
