20s dating advice dating 30 years older

Have you made a decision to remain a virgin until marriage?In college, my main relationship was with my first love, and I thought I would lose my virginity with him, partly because he was a virgin as well.The only relationship I had so far that felt was real started in college.We were super compatible and very attracted to one another, but he was a man-child and we broke up after almost a year.I felt guilty about that for a long time, but I've forgiven myself now.I was 16, and really deeply unhappy, and the boys I liked weren't into me, and I just took whatever affection I could get.

Woman A: No, I'm definitely not waiting until marriage. Woman C: No, I actually hope to lose it before marriage because I don't want to marry someone who I've never had sex with.

I enjoy my own company and cherish my own space and I find dating really exhausting.

Most of my friends are in relationships or are gay women, so I tend not to meet people other than via online dating, and it's so easy to write people off on dating apps.

The first few people I had dated were my high school boyfriend who I wasn't attracted to sexually and didn't realize that was the problem until after we ended things, and then my prom date who was more sexually aggressive than I was, which made me uncomfortable obviously.

Woman A: In high school it was a somewhat conscious choice, but not in a "I'm not having sex before marriage" kind of way.
