I’m a virgin at 23 and at first I felt shame, but now seeing the state of dating, I’m happy about it. I’d MUCH rather give my everything to someone who actually loves me than someone who expects me to open my legs ASAP. 🤷🏾‍♀️❤️

I want the romance to lead to sex, but it’s become SO normalized to give it up after only one date or a couple that you really gotta sift through the men who expect it after only a couple months of knowing me. I’m sorry, I’m not opening my legs after only three months. Or even four. IDGAF. Ima stand on that. If I’m single forever, oh well. 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️ At least I got my PEACE and SELF RESPECT 🥰

THANK YOU!! I was embarrassed being a 21 year old virgin but this dating pool is not it and I’m definitely holding out for someone who loves and deserves me.

Same but I lost mine at 23 to a fuckbuddy who ended up having a lot of red flags cause I was desperate 😭 do not do what I did… I’m older now but never dated though and I’m also turned off by dating

It’s nice to know that there are others similar to me! I’m in my mid 20s and not a virgin but I’m VERY selective about who I have sex with. It’s so hard to find guys willing to wait more than 1 month so I basically have no dating life, but I’m hopeful like all of you. I just want to meet my person

YES. I’m single and a virgin too and waiting for the right woman. It’s literally combining our bodies into one, that’s such a soul tie and I’m not making a soul tie until we’ve been in each others lives for a while and are both ready for it

YESSS!!! That’s literally how I view it too! I know not everyone does so I DONT want to push that on anyone, but I view it as one of the most intimate soul tieing things you can do with another person. The fuck I look like giving my body up that quick to man who’s probably gonna dip on me after only a couple months anyway? Nah! Imma make him wait a while and let the romance lead to that. A lot of people don’t know how to be romantic anymore tho. I NEED someone who’s romantic or Imma leave.

EXACTLY, like I want to soul tie with you emotionally before it becomes physical. We should both value ourselves and each other enough to be willing to wait until we both know we want it

It makes dating more challenging since so many people want sex fast but I think it’s so worth it and rare to find

Plus I would guess that sex is infinitely better when you have romantic history with a person and can genuinely say I love you during the act

Like imagine being best friends and lovers for months and then finally becoming physically united and melting into each other, what I’d give to have that

exactlyyy. i’m not even keeping it on some “i’m holier and purer than thou” shit, but literally bc that is one of the most intimate things you can do with someone and i want to be ready. like i should dead be your best friend, you know everything about me, and we have a DEEP emotional connection before we do that. if even after that i get screwed over, at least i know i stayed to true to myself

Exactlyyy. Ive had people ask if I was “keeping it for marriage” and NAH! I’m not! I just want everything you just typed out. 🤣🤷🏾‍♀️ If it’s rare, so be it. I’ll gladly wait if it means I get to keep my damn diginity.

This is my one huge rule when it comes to dating. I never want a girl that I am seeing to feel like she has to open her legs on the first few dates. I want to connect with you, learn your interests, figure out your hobbies, enjoy each other’s company and go on cute little dates like picnics in the park. I hate that it has become so normalized where girls feel like they have to have sex on the first date, otherwise the guy isn’t into you

I definitely know other men like you exist, however, as much as I’d like to trust that, I’ve had other men tell me guys will always cheat on me because I “don’t want to put out” and that “they’ll just get it from somewhere else.” and knowing that THOSE types do actually exist and quite a few are like that, has definitely factored into me not wanting to date at all. 🤣

Yup! So many people don’t use protection at all these days. I like to wait 6 months before I feel comfortable enough and I’ve actually had 2 guys that had waited that long and didn’t want to wear a condom and hadn’t been tested recently so I had to turn them down. It’s so insulting bc they care more about their pleasure more than my health

Wait so they just refused even after you asked them to??? Are you serious??? I’d have to end the relationship. 🤷🏾‍♀️
