Would a guy ever want a girl over 25 who has no dating experience?

[sunflower978]

I've never been on a date or even asked out. A few days ago I asked out my coworker and he rejected me. It was the first time I asked out a guy. He made a point to say that my lack of dating history is a red flag. It's a little confusing because how am I supposed to get rid of my red flag if no one wants me? It was humiliating when he laughed at me, and I still have to work with him every day.

Should I unfollow him on Instagram or find another job? I hate that I made a fool of myself.

how would he know you have no dating history? Stop talking about your problems and talk about fun and potential.

there's nothing wrong with you, I was late bloomer as well. good job trying, keep working on yourself.

In the end, don't have any regrets.

I turned down quite a few women and women turned me down. The reason isn't always what they say! It as as much to do about them as it does about you. However, there is no substitute for dating and social skills, and you just have to learn like most of us, the hard way.

He asked me if I had ever asked out a guy before. So I told him no. No boyfriends or dates at all. I can see now that was a mistake

Yes, a lesson learned. It's ok to say you never asked a guy out and to flip it back on him. You don't have to give so much detail. Learn to filter.
As well, his excuse is BS. That isn't a red flag. just take it as he isn't interested, up your game, head high, move on.

I'm sorry to hear that happened to you. To answer your question, it depends on why. These days, I see and hear about a lot of people your age, that have never been in a relationship. That's odd to me, but it serves as a reminder of how quickly things can change in ten years. When I was your age, everyone was in a relationship. You were weird if you weren't in one. But today, lasting relationships to a certain degree are rare and even shunned. That being said, why do you think you've never been in a relationship is a better question to ask. What are your red flags? What are your green flags?

If a guy is really into you he won’t care. That guy just wasn’t into you and used it as an excuse. Try to lead with the positive aspects of your life.

it would depend if i was interested in them or not , i wouldn't really care about the lack of dating history if there was a reason that i liked you. i wouldn't say its necessary a red flag but perhaps odd as most girls do start dating when there much younger

Just like women, it depends on the guy. Some women would say that a guy with limited or no dating experience is a red flag as well. But the reality is we're all an amalgamation of our life experiences. And some are more experienced then others. I wouldn't worry about it. He did you a favor. Because if he's judging you that quickly without even knowing you, then he was going to make a very poor partner anyhow.

Come on, there is nothing wrong with you. Everyone is different. You have not met the right guy , that's all.

Well now you've got enough experience to not ask people out at work... Live and learn. That said, everyone starts somewhere.

I prefer a girl with no dating experience, why would I want a girl that been with many guys?

[Avicenna]

I'm sure plenty of men would be happy to date you

[AmeerX]

Of course I would 😁
