I've been overweight and had bad skin throughout my teens and with that came the bullying and the lack of social skills. I've started improving myself about a year ago, lifting, making a few friends, actually being able to at least fake confidence etc. I look a lot better now, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm almost 19 and still a kissless virgin.

I've known about TRP for about two years so I'm pretty familiar with most concepts, but I lack real life experience. In the last year I've started talking to a girl for the first time, who's now just become a friend as she's very religious and not interested in anything sexual until marriage. Tbh I'm only still hanging out with her because she's the first girl that ever hugged me. I think another girl in my class is into me, just by the way she behaves differently around me and tries to randomly talk to me, but I'm not really interested in her. I have a few friends who I hang out with, but we never really go to parties or anywhere else I could practice social skills. My hobbies, drawing, music and programming don't really get me out of the house either.

Basically, I have no idea how I should start approaching girls. I'm still in Highschool and don't have a job/own place which makes things more difficult. As for attractiveness, most people rated me around a 5-6, my main problem being that I still have a kind of babyface. I honestly just want to get the pressure of losing my virginity behind me, so I can focus harder on other things. Do you have any advice on how I cant start talking to more women?
