I didn't kiss anyone until I was 20 (almost 21) and didn't have a boyfriend (now my husband) until I was 21 (almost 22). A few guys liked me in high school and a disturbing number (for me that's more than two) liked me in college, but I was super picky and didn't want to end up tied down and stuck in Kentucky for the rest of my life. I used to find it really frustrating that I was in my 20's and had never had a relationship, but now I look back on it and wonder why it was such a big deal.
I agree....I really wanted to work in politics/government when I was in high school/college, and even more after I interned one summer in DC for both a senator and a member of Congress when I was in college. Then I moved to DC permanently and worked on the Hill for a couple of years and realized that it wasn't the environment for me (though I miss all the free lunches and getting to leave work early to go to gigs!!). I can thank my years as a federal employee for my disillusionment with the American political system.

btw.. you really want to work in the White House? As admirable as this goal is, are you sure this would make you truly happy? All the intrigues going on there.. I thought of choosing diplomacy once (also did political science), but people told me it´s a cold, lonely job, kind of, and you always have to watch your back.. could be true for any "higher-profile" political position. This is not meant to discourage you at all! - just so that you think of the other side of the coin.
