ready to lose my vcard?

First of all, don't pressure yourself. Just because you are a virgin and your friends are not, does not make you any more or less a person.

Second, if your friends stepped in, good for them! They care about you and are looking out for you. I think if you were not a Virgin, they would have stopped something bad from happening to you.

Third, ask yourself the "end game question?" I think too many people decide to have sex with their first or second significant relationship, but fail to answer the question.

In the end, you need to date multiple men to figure out what you are looking for. These are friendships and not a hot and heavy romance / boy friend situation.

You are trying to find the man who will make an excellent husband, father, and provider for your children.

If you save any sexual contact until marriage, then that will help draw yourself closer to your husband.

Bottom line, don't worry, save it for the wedding night, and you will be a happy woman.

As a side note, lots of women who "loose it" carry emotional scars and regrets. They hide them well, but they exist.
