i dont think i was circumsized because i have some extra skin that hangs down my penis between the shaft and the head. im not sure if my foreskin is a problem or not? my foreskin can easily slide forward to cover the head of my penis and can also slide back completely off the head easily and when not touched it usually rests in between the head and shaft of my penis hanging downward about 1cm. is this normal? also would this be weird to a girl?

This is interesting. It is certainly possible, in some cases, for a circumcised penis to have enough stretchy foreskin to pull down over the penis head and fully cover it. Very few will stay that way though.
It is more likely that you have either a short foreskin which prefers to remain in the retarcted state, or it retracted on its own at an early age, or was retracted by someone else when you were very young.
Others of us, however, have to work at it to get ours to stay retracted.
Here's an interesting story. I pulled this message from another forum:

"I guess (Asians) don't see (circumcision) as necessary.
For them it is normal that the glans will be uncovered
after puberty, so what's the fuss? And if it's not,
that's when they think about circumcision.
A close acquaintance of mine is south-east asian
by origin and he told me that he retracted his
foreskin just once - about age 12 - and that's where
it stayed ever since. To him that's just the natural
thing to do. Is it paraphimosis? I don't know and
never will - we're both married family men.

Note: My brother, cousin and I, and others we have met
or heard about later on, did the same thing. But some
of us think it would be better to start earlier, just
as soon as the foreskin is readily retractable.
Mothers, if for whatever reason you are going to delay
or avoid circumcision for your son, consider this cost-
less, painless and totally reversable alternative which
provides all of the same benefits.
Do him an important favor and help him get his foreskin
pulled back off the penis head at the earliest possible
age.
