I do not have a huge social life and I do not date very much. I maybe go on a date once every couple of months. Last week I was on a date and she asked me when my last relationship was and how often I date. Being honest I told her that it had been a while since I was in a long-term relationship and that I only date once every few months. She also mentioned that she had been married once and asked why I had never married. To that question I gave the same answer I give me parents.

“I haven’t met the right person that I felt an instant connection with and with whom shares my beliefs and values.”

All these personal questions have me a bit worried. I realise that they are fairly common for a first date as you try to learn more about the person you are out with but it got me wondering.

Will someone who may be interested in you judge you based on your lack of experience and dating history?

Would someone think that I am not relationship material since I haven’t been in many long-term relationships?

Since I have never married does this mean to someone that I might be afraid of commitment?

Is there a reason why women do not continue to date me?

These are all the questions I see them asking themselves about me. Should I embellish my dating experiences a bit to make me seem more average?

Thanks

I think it would depend on your dating history and the type of person you are dating. If for example you have an active dating life and many sexual partners then I would think this would probably be okay with someone else who has a similar history. It could still be okay with someone who hasn’t been as “active” but the chances are much lower.

In your case I think you are probably all right. If the person is attracted to you I doubt your lack of experience will change this. It may even make you more attractive in her eyes because you are less “spoiled” … BTW I do not mean this in a negative way.

You didn’t say how old you are but the only way I can see your lack of experience in dating and relationships affecting you is if you are over 40. I think at some point people will begin to wonder the reason why you have been single for so long.

It depends upon the person you are dating.

Before I got married I slept with close to 70 people. It wasn’t a big deal.

From my causal research (reading all this nonsense), most of the ladies on dating blogs and the dating sites are slutty. They’ve slept around with a gazillion people but want to find their true love. Please. Who wants you? #noonewantsaslut

No it doesn’t…….
