I'm 24 years old but I've never dated?

[Anonymous]

Guys, would you be intimidated to meet a 24 year old girl that has never dated, held hands, kissed a guy or had any romantic encounter? Why or why not?

I'd be a little worried that she (you?) would act like some of the people I know who had really boring, repressive upbringings: once they're unleashed on the world, usually in college, they go apesh*t trying to prove how wild 'n crazy they are. This usually involves dating several guys at the same time and starting tons of drama.

That said, I'd only be a little worried. People don't have to act like that, and I don't think it's possible to know much for certain about someone just by knowing that she's 24 and hasn't been on date. On the whole, I wouldn't make a big deal out of it, I'd just try to be patient and not worry too much if she's a little awkward about certain things.

It would not intimidate me but I would put me especially on guard so not to take advantage of her. She being a 24 year old female virgin makes me wonder where she's been all her life. She's missed out on a at least eight years experience dealing with the opposite sex. Dealing with the opposite sex on an emotional level is one thing but adding the physical aspect is quite another matter. The lack of any physical experience with the opposite sex is a loss she will never understand until after she's had her first physical encounter. It's a staggering developmental setback.

I don't see it as a problem with intimidation, necessarily. Personally, I wouldn't think anything of it. Romantic experience varies from person to person. As rocksonwriter put it, you're better off with no experience than having a track record of hundreds of failed relationships. If you're interested in getting into the dating scene keep your eyes open for someone who is patient, and willing to work through the steps as fast or slow as makes you comfortable.

I wouldn't be intimidated. However if she had dated 100+ guys, then I WOULD BE concerned because why has she been in so many failed relationships?

Heh, I'm in the exact same situation. No joke. 24 and never had a girlfriend. How weird is that. Lol

I'm in the same situation except I'm 21, will be 22 next year in January, so no I would not mind dating a woman like you.
