Is being a virgin weird or a 'red flag' when you're dating someone? How and when do you tell people?

First i would like to mention i had multiple chances to have sex but i did not take em. I wanted my first time to be with a person i at least had some kind of feelings for. that being said...

Im 19 and pretty unlucky in love i'd say. I have dated multiple woman over the years but most just didn't worked out. I have to admit i am pretty picky when it comes to women...

Now atm I am dating this girl, which i really fancy. We just connected so well since i met her, i haven't had this feeling in a while. We share a lot of interest and i make her laugh a lot, she also makes me smile a lot. Last week was our first date after a few weeks of texting/calling, we have our 2nd date planned next week.

I know she likes me, or has at least some romantic interest in me, because we made out on the first date and cuddled all night (We watched a movie at her place). She texted me afterwards and said she really enjoyed it. Besides that she was the one who suggested a second date before i even left her house.

Now on the first date we did have a short convo about past relationships, not that deeply. She asked me if i have ever been in a longterm relationship before, and I haven't really been in a long term relationship, so when i answered her question i think she kinda knew the fact that i'm a virgin? maybe not?

Now i read online that some people dont want to date virgins, mostly older people though. which leads me back to my question... is it weird that im a male 19 yr old virgin? and how and when should i tell her? or is it better not to tell her till after the deed?

Thanks in advance,

  • Just do not tell her if she asks be truthful and say “for you I’m a virgin because this will be the first time I am totally in love with someone as thoughtful, considerate, kind and everything else as you.”

  • I think if u are a virgin so what and you are dating someone purity is great

  • Being a virgin is your own choice you you don't owe anyone an explanation for shit you choose to tell them that it's what you decide to do now that you're looking for approval or disapproval or what do they think who cares what they think if they think is weird and they don't like it they can fuck off they need to respect it who cares what the fuck they think

  • to me it's not a red flag. i would say tell them before sex. the worst thing you can do is feeling bad about being a virgin. own it. it's your choice to be a virgin. nothing wrong with that.

  • No its not a red flag.
    There are women who wants virgin men, true love.

  • Tell them when it becomes pertinent. If it's something that isn't an issuue, why bring it up? Make sure you tell your partner before you have sex for the first time

  • I think people will ask questions if you are over 25 and a virgin but before that it's more acceptable. Being 19 and a virgin is fairly normal.

    • I'm 23 a virgin

    • @babz21 slightly less normal but no big deal.

  • Virgin is good

  • You are a virgin thats fact. If they don't like you because of it then don't date them. Find someone who likes you for you and that you like for them and move forward with that relationship.

  • I admire u. My little girls tells she waited for marriage. I think that is so good of. Person. Ably in afraid one of them mite get an itch from woundering wt someone else is about.

  • It shouldn't be. If it is, move on.

  • It would be weird if you weren't only 19. That's still a couple of years before it might turn into an issue.

  • It's a Green flag. It's only redflag for thoae who should be redflag for us.

  • I was a virgin until 27.5, my girlfriend was 33 when we gave it to each other. A 19 year old virgin isn't that weird.

  • It depends on the person. Personally, I would not date a virgin, but I'm 25, older than you.

    • Let me add a few more details then, she is 18 years old. I know she had a longterm relationship with this guy that lasted more than a year. I im 99& sure that she lost her V-card. I know it still depends on the person, but if this was you what would your response be to my question asked above?

    • Told you I wouldn't date a virgin.

  • I wouldn't worry about it. The less partners the better to most people of both genders (speaking of relationships here)

    Now if you want to start out with degenerate "casual sex" then you may be in trouble.

    Also, don't overestimate sex. It feels 'nice' but it's not that great unless you love that person, of this I can speak from experience. Physically it's the same, emotionally it's world's apart.

  • You do whatever you feel is right for you. It's not weird what age 19. I think anything over 23 is a little weird.

  • nope

  • Male or female I feel its ok

  • Good question. There are those that are turned off by virgins. Don't get it at all to be honest.
