there's a girl i almost dated. She and I went to a baseball game and we were flirty. Things went downhill from there. She no longer views my snapstories and when I saw her in-person she only spoke with me because she was doing her job (shes a server at a bar-grill). Is it petty for me to delete her from snapchat?

Are all the good guys taken?

I have the poutiest lips you've ever seen and I'm self-conscious about it.

I'm a virgin who only wants to date other virgins. Its just that I feel that I would be truly happy that way, I have mental issues of my own and can't bear the thought of committing my life to someone who slept with another person other than me, even if it wasn't consensual. Being raped is something awful that I wouldn't wish upon anyone, but I tend to feel like a piece of shit for not willing to date a victim because of something she had no control over. I also know that her being a victim doesn't automatically make her entitled to me, but I still feel like a piece of shit. I fell deep down inside that if I do end up spending my life with someone who's not a virgin even if it was due to rape, I would live my life with someone I'm not truly happy with. Am I a piece of shit? Am I obligated to give myself out despite my personal standards?

Just a poll between those 2. Currently enjoying my dad bod yet but I'm working on it.
