Do you think it would be a good idea to lose my virginity to someone who is a good mate- but not a lover- and so won't be negative or mean-or should i hold out for a boyfriend who may dump me and brag?
It's not like your life should involve only either or. Don't
lose your virginity until you WANT to, and lose it with a guy (or
girl!) who you REALLY REALLY LIKE if not LOVE. Also, you should
wait until age 18 if at all possible. Seriously. You will just know
yourself a lot better the older you are.
