Never Been on a Date @ 27 years old!

Yes, you read correctly.

I've been asked out a couple of times, but never by anyone who is respectful and kind.

Would you date a girl who's never even been on a date, much less had a boyfriend?

You've had the opportunities by your own admission. Whether you thought them worthy of you is a different matter, but the opportunities slow down as you age...

Good thing you decided to wait for the right time and person. I would take back a number of dates I have been on if I could for a number of reasons. I would say concentrate on your relationship with God and the kind of person you would like to be in a relationship.

I was 26 before I had my first date. That boyfriend only lasted for 3 months, and it's been nearly 2 years since we broke up. Guess how many dates I've been on since then? That's right...0.

From what guys tell me, it IS a negative factor for them when they hear that a girl hasn't had many (or any) dates. I guess they think we must have something wrong with us. Personally, though, I'd rather have no dates than a bunch of bad dates. Less stress that way!

Don't be discouraged, Beth. I feel it's not really a suitable question to be asking a woman (or man) at the beginning anyway. It's none of my business how many dates somebody I don't know has had and I've no right to be asking them until we know each other a lot better. In fact there's a lot of things I've no right to be asking or will feel obliged to answer unless I've been dating the person for a few months - at the end of the day I'm dating them for what I see now, not what might have happened in the past.



@OP:



Sorry if I came across as harsh - I didn't realise it until I read my post in context. Having said that, I truly believe you need to spend time with people before you get to know their character (as opposed to first impressions). You say you've never been asked out by anyone respectful or kind; surely you'd need to be spending a lot of time with those people (i.e. dating) to realise their character flaws?

dkj255 � Thanks you for re-wording your first post. The thing is that I did know the guys who asked me out. These haven�t been strangers. I�ve either had classes with them or we have mutual friends. When someone makes vulgar or inappropriate comments about my backside, this is not the type of guy I want to spend time with. If he wants the opportunity to get to know ANY girl, he needs to know how to treat her with respect. God respects me too much for me to let someone else disrespect me.

iheartdogs � You understand where I�m coming from! Yes!

bcpianogal � I�m glad to hear I�m not alone. It�s just frustrating because that whole �what�s wrong with her� thing is such a double standard, and I hate it!

Dont worry about it Authentic. I know people who havent dated and are in their late 30's. One of my aunts was in her 50's when she started dating. She married at age 57.

@OP:



In that case I stand corrected and apologise. I (incorrectly) assumed you hadn't spend time with them. You're right; comments about your backside aren't very respectful.

Lol I have to laugh when i saw the post because I was like did I post this? I know where you are coming from because that's the place where I am. I used to think i was weird when the girls around me in my teens were dating and I wasn't. To tell you the truth for me even at a young age I never got the "release" in my spirit to venture out into that world. It's okay for some but evidently God has something in mind for me. Every walk is different every relationship with God is different and therefore God has asked me to wait. I never believed in having a dozen boyfriends I want one and he's gonna be my husband hand picked by God for me! I have never kissed anyone either, Amen! lol.

I want to be worthy of the man God has for me as he will be worthy of me. So girl we'll wait together and enjoy the wonderful blessing God has in store!:applause:
