Just because she dindnt bleed doesn't mean she's not a virgin. Some girls are born with out a hymen or it tears in sports or in other things they do in life.

The confusion comes from the different ways the terms "popping the cherry", and "losing virginity" are used by different people.
Technically, a virgin is someone who has not had sexual intercourse. So virginity is lost when sexual intercourse takes place for the first time. It is 'lost' in the sense that you cannot become a virgin again.
A female usually has a membrane partially covering the entrance to her vagina, and that membrane is called the 'hymen' (sometimes also called the 'maidenhead). When a woman has sexual intercourse for the first time, the hymen is usually ruptured as the penis penetrates the vagina. That rupturing has been colloquially termed "popping the cherry". So that term has been linked to "losing virginity", and is often used as an alternative term. Hymen rupturing is often accompanied by bleeding from the torn membrane.
In a number of cultures, the presence of an intact hymen is seen as proof of virginity: that the woman has not had sexual intercourse. It is further expected that the woman will bleed on her first occasion of sexual intercourse. That usually means that if she doesn't, then she is reckoned not to have been a virgin.
This belief that a virgin always has an intact hymen has led to her hymen being referred to as her "virginity". So in many people's minds "popping the cherry" and "losing virginity" mean the same thing.
However, the reality is that they hymen can be ruptured (the cherry can be popped) in ways other than by sexual intercourse. Impacts on the pubic area and sports are some ways that the hymen can be ruptured apart from any sexual activity.
Furthermore. the hymen can be ruptured by something other than a penis entering the vagina (e.g. a finger, or even a tampon applicator). So, in line with the topic "Can you lose your virginity to a finger?": yes, the hymen can be ruptured by a finger.
It is also true that a woman's hymen may not rupture on the first act of sexual intercourse. Her intact hymen would suggest, and in some minds prove, she is still a virgin whereas she is really no longer a virgin.
However, depending on the culture or moral perspective, sexual activity (mutual masturbation, oral sex &c) may deem the participants to no longer be morally pure, and so no longer considered virgins morally.

You are technically still a virgin if you have not had sex whereby a penis enters your vagina. However, your hymen might not be intact. You can check this by using a hand mirror (or taking a photo), or by getting someone you trust to check for you.

The show of blood indicates the hymen has probably been ruptured, but this can be checked by using a hand mirror.
Technically, losing your virginity is when a penis penetrates your vagina, despite the condition of your hymen. Some hymens don't rupture on first intercourse, some don't bleed and some rupture without intercourse.
