Iโ€™m a 21 year old woman and Iโ€™ve never had sex or messed around romantically with anyone. Never had a first kiss, never even held hands with a boy. Itโ€™s not that there wasnโ€™t opportunities, i was raised super religious (no sex before marriage, family wouldnโ€™t even talk about what periods were and I never got the โ€œtalkโ€). So I was pretty scared of boys for the reason of accidentally doing something wrong. I also didnโ€™t wanna kiss anybody I had a chance to because I didnโ€™t see myself marrying them and I was always taught that was the only motivation for sexual desires.

Anyways, Iโ€™ve been out of my parents house for around a year and want to finally experiment and feel confident. Iโ€™ve downloaded tinder and hinge in the past and flirted, even crossed into a bit of sexting territory but always got scared by the idea of me being sexual and ghosted or just ignored the person. The thing is I feel like a need a bit of a hoe phase lol. I want to have sex and do other stuff but Iโ€™m just like scared and my old religious shame comes creeping in.

I was at a hostel awhile back and some guys were hitting on me (I was wearing a pretty low cut top and wanted the attention I canโ€™t lie) but even with a few drinks in me I just felt weird. Like I can imagine scenarios and please myself but whenever the chance to do anything with a guy arises idk how to do it.

Anyway would be great if anybody has some tips for putting myself out there and getting more comfortable. I want to challenge myself to go on some dates but idk.
