What Problems/Shortcoming May Arise When A Complete Virgin Enters A Relationship?

[JoeMulern]

I am a 23-year-old male who has never been in an intimate relationship of any kind; I have never even held hands with a woman.

 

Two months ago I met, started talking with and fostered a mutual attraction with an absolutely wonderful woman over Facebook. While we currently live 13 hours apart, she and I will be participating in the same internship program starting in January/February and both plan to stay in the area afterwards. We will not physically meet until then, but we exchange lengthy messages, frequently text and FaceTime approximately once a week.

 

She has been in two serious relationships and knows that I have never even been close to one (she knows this and more or less everything about me). We both believe that our connection is real and plan to hopefully enter a serious relationship once we are in the same location.

 

Earlier today, she and I discussed what I may lack due to my absence of relationship experience. Other than the obvious lack of physical knowledge, what other shortcomings may arise? What do you learn from a relationship that you do not learn from a friendship (which I have many of)?

How physically attractive are you? If you're at least a 8/10, your virginity might actually turn her on

 

How is this woman "absolutely wonderful"? Is she "absolutely wonderful" because she's willing to talk to you? Has she done something "absolutely wonderful" for you?

You learn what you learn at your own pace.

 

It's as big a deal as you want to make it.

The virgin part isn't the main area of concern, it's the lack of physical presence. Lower your expectations. You may feel you know her very well, but trust me, if you haven't met and dated her in person you have no idea who she is. I have been in your shoes, don't get in too deep emotionally with her until you start physically dating.

Why does someone that you have never met knows " more or less everything about [You]"

Also, its a bit silly to "enter into a serious relationship" with someone that you havnt met yet. I think yourea a little naive mentally OP.

The main thing would be (having done this myself years ago) that you would become too attached to her, i.e. you might drop other things in favour of her and get needy.

 

Its not the virginity per se, its more that this is the first woman you have got close to, so strong chance youll go in deep! like every guy out there!

 

Id continue talking to other women and finding hobbies - a full timetable of stuff you do for you. If anything happens with this one, time will tell but you wont be so crushed if it ends
