I'm a 23 year old male virgin and I've never been in a relationship. Should I give up? Am I a loser?

Well Angelique I am like your friend, I was 23 and like your friend I did not wait for religious reasons but when I was 17 I felt I was not emotionally ready and I did not really want a 17 or 18 year old boy...as my first love..even if I am sure and I know there are great 17 year old guys out there...who are mature for their age...most of those I knew were still very immature for their age, I did not want to have a guy who was acting immature and I was emotionally immature ..so I was not feeling ready, ...for that reason I waited and I wanted to wait until I felt that I met a guy who was right for me and I started to get to know him first..started a friendship...I wanted us to have things in common as well...and I wanted it to not just be a casual fling, I was looking for a relationship...for a lasting one...so I was 23 he was 26 almost 27..he was British I am German..He was working for the US armed forces as a civilian as a technician at their base about 30 miles from where I lived...we met and we dated..after 6 months he took me on a trip to Great Britain and introduced me to his family...he met my family before that...after our return from Britain I moved in with him, we lived together for 2 years..then we got married... Some people wait for religious beliefs sake'..I respect that as well if a man or a woman really wants to be a virgin until she gets married and she is so religious I can't say this is wrong..I waited for other reasons...and I don't regret anything...My mom was 16 years old when she met her first love and he was 17...they stayed together for 3 years...it was a good relationship and he was a nice guy I am sure...I was just not emotonally ready at 16...everybody should make their own choice and feel they are ready..they should not have sex because everybody else they know does it..so that they feel they look ''uncool'' if they are older...When I was 17 we did not discuss if we had a guy friend...some did and some didn't but nobody would comment or smirk or say anything negative if someone wanted to wait...we just did not discuss that...at school when I was 17...which was a long time ago...I have been married to this guy...that British guy I met when I was 22..got married to him when I was 25.5 years old and we have now been married for 23.5 years...we left Germany, lived in the Netherlands for 7 years and since the summer of 2000 we have been living in Canada...I am 49 years old. Now...x.

Its common enough... some girls I noticed like to act like sl*ts or make fun of someone for being a virgin even if they themselves are virgins so it really throws peoples perceptions of assumptions off making people think everyone loses their virginity at 12... dumbasses >_> Not everyone is a whore. Some people don't want sex unless its with someone thats right. Its not a race.

"I mean the americans are into all that christian stuff and 'wait for marriage' more than people here..is it more common than I think" No, most of them arent. I live here. Most christians have sex before marriage.

"she says she is not waiting for marriage..just until she meets someone who she thinks 'deserves' it lol" You sound like such a b*tch and a sl*t right now. I hope you get herpes.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
