I have been thinking about this question for a while now.
As for me, Yes, I would be willing to date such an individual (if this individual is not uber-religious or anything like that), since I myself plan to do this (and for the record, I myself am an agnostic).
For the record, I am talking about a scenario where an individual does not mind or care whether or not you had sex (regardless of how much of it you had) before marriage. Rather, in this scenario, this individual himself/herself wants to remain a virgin until marriage.
No. That would show that we had wildly different views about sex (and the importance of marriage).
Possibly, or it could simply indicate that such an individual does not want to risk getting STDs and/or having unwanted pregnancies occur outside of marriage.
My husband was not inexperienced when I met him. He knew my position about myself waiting until marriage and he waited -- NEVER pressured me. From our first date he placed his sex life on hold. He was a very confident man and had no concerns whatsoever that we would have a great sex life together, which we did.
Futurist,
I'm already married, so this is my hypothetical take.. Yes (I would definitely have dated a woman waiting for marriage.) To me, that shows restraint & principle.. Two things that will probably be assets in a good spouse. But who knows ?
Absolutely not. I thought I was going to wait till marriage too. Lost my virginity at 22 and never looked back. Marriage wasn't much on my radar and I didn't even have a real romantic interest in sight at the time. At 30, I'm still single, but I've had a lot of sexual practice.
But..... the more I think about it, if I felt the woman deeply and truly cared about me, I think I could make the plunge.

This. Plus, we wouldn't know if we were compatible.
You can teach people sexual actions, you cannot teach them passion and drive.
