That would be me. I'm 23, I have never been in a long-term relationship, and I am having difficulty finding a girlfriend. I want a relationship, not just sex - but I'm sure some women will wonder why I'm a 23 year old virgin.

Is this normal?

What are you going to do if people tell you that it's not normal?

How are you going about in finding a girlfriend?

There are older virgins about that would say you're normal.... And I won't disagree as it might just be a case of it not happening for you yet mate.....

Well, don't just go and announce it to every girl you meet, but when you find the right person, they are not going to mind, hopefully.

Don't worry....it will happen, and no it's not all that unusual to be 23 and a Virgin.

So, is this about you being a virgin or you not having a relationship? Because if you don't want to be a virgin then go get laid. The relationship part is a bit more tricky.

Is what normal?
You being a 23-yo virgin? You having difficulty finding a gf? Women wondering why you're a 23-yo virgin?

There is absolutely no reason to advertise that you are a virgin! Is that the first thing you blurt out? I don't know that I'd even disclose that to them if we were in bed getting ready to "do the deed"!

You are wearing your anxiety on your sleeve and it is not helping you. You need to fake it until you make it! No one thinks you are a virgin until you open your mouth and confirm it for them. Think about why you want to sabotage yourself - because you are afraid of never getting with a woman AND afraid of getting with a woman. Work on THAT.

I haven't thought about that, I suppose I'd simply say that there's nothing I can do about it. But I'm not advertising it as others have asked me about.
