Dating As A Virgin Girl

By Tara Hari

Virginity is always a tricky concept. It has been the traditional view that women should have little to no knowledge of sexual matters, while men should always have experience in these cases. But as the time is changing, so is the concept of virginity. Nowadays, women increasingly become less obsessed with keeping their virginity.

On the other hand, men are starting to wait longer for sex. If you are a virgin, you will certainly be taunted by your friends and will be forced to endure many uncomfortable conversations about your decisions. There are numerous pitfalls when you are dating as a virgin, regardless of gender.

Dating As A Virgin Girl

Peer Pressure
If you are in a happy and satisfactory relationship with your significant other, but choose not to have sex, then you will be certain to get many jibes from your friends. You will constantly be called a prude, and will be regarded as uptight. Peer pressure is always hard to withstand, especially in school and college. But losing your virginity just to satisfy your peers is not a good idea. Your happiness in the relationship is all that matters.

Filter
Remaining a virgin is an excellent filter to weed out prospective suitors who are only chasing you for your body. Any man interested in a serious relationship will not shy away from you, simply because you are a virgin.

Experience
If your partner is more experienced than you, then dating as a virgin becomes trifle exhausting. If she is more experienced in the physical aspect of the relationship, then you might end up with feelings of inadequacy. You will also be scared of not satisfying your partner, which might make them leave you.

Expectations
If you are dating as a virgin, then your partner might be concerned about your expectations on sex. They might feel inadequate, thinking you might have built up sex as a major thing in your head. They will be worried about not living up to your expectations. If you are dating as a virgin, then do not build up sex too much in your head.

Patronizing
There is no doubt that you will have a number of friends or dates who try to patronize you once they find out that you are a virgin. Do not let them get to you. Just because you are a virgin, it does not mean other people are better than you. It is also very annoying when your dates start boasting about their sexual partners, trying to show off to you.

These are some of the things you will have to face if you are dating as a virgin. Do not let anybody's opinion sway on you. Your choices should depend only on yourself.
