Is it normal to worry about being a 32-yrold virgin + never had a gf?

So I read some of the stories in the sex category that helped me feel better about being a 32- year old virgin, but I still worry about having had no practice with relationships. Sex ought to work itself out if you're with a compatible person, after all it's such an instinctual thing. I've made out with a couple of girls and I feel like I'm in touch enough with my sensual side that I don't have alot of anxiety about actually doing it (though I'm pretty sure that 1st time will be VERY quick;])
I'm much more anxious about how to navigate the protocols of getting into a relationship and then be a good boyfriend.
When you're over 30, when is it established that you are a couple? When we were in high school it seemed like you had to ask a girl outright to be your girlfriend. When you're older is it just kind of an unspoken thing that you fall into? Like one day you just start introducing her as your girlfriend and see what her reaction is?
I guess I just feel like I missed out on a lot of practice at relationships that other people have usually had and I worry that I'll f**k up a good thing because of something silly that I should have learned a long time ago.

    If it makes you feel better, I'm a 32 year old virgin too. I haven't even made out with a girl, so you are a step ahead of me.

    In all honesty I don't know how I'm going to solve this whole relationship problem. It is something I'm very ashamed of, but I'm afraid to talk to my female friends about because they talk way too much. I tell them something like this and before I know it, everyone who goes to my church knows and then even some of my friends who have moved away know.

    I know many women are turned off by inexperienced guys, especially at my age, but I don't know how to get the experience. It is almost a catch 22. Anyway, good luck on your situation.

      That's on your pastor he or she should have set you up by now by the way I'm a closet militant atheist

    When you were here before,
    Couldn't look you in the eye
    You're just like an angel,
    Your skin makes me cry

    You float like a feather
    In a beautiful world
    I wish I was special
    You're so fuckin' special

    But I'm a creep,
    I'm a weirdo
    What the hell am I doin' here?
    I don't belong here

    I don't care if it hurts,
    I wanna have control
    I want a perfect body
    I want a perfect soul

    I want you to notice
    when I'm not around
    You're so fuckin' special
    I wish I was special

    But I'm a creep
    I'm a weirdo
    What the hell am I doin' here?
    I don't belong here, ohhhh, ohhhh

    She's running out again
    She's running out
    She run run run run...
    run... run...

    Whatever makes you happy
    Whatever you want
    You're so fuckin' special
    I wish I was special

    But I'm a creep,
    I'm a weirdo
    What the hell am I doin' here?
    I don't belong here

    I don't belong here...

    I just watched a movie about teens getting HIV. This is one time that I feel pretty damn happy about being a virgin. I'd say that is THE biggest up-side to being a virgin. I don't have to worry about all those scary freakin' STDs out there:)

    I was a 20 yr old virgin and I said 'F this" and banged the first gross girl I met.

    I wanted to lose my V card without any pressure so I banged someone I was totally unattracted to.

    After that Ive been banging progressively hotter women for years.

    You have to start somewhere so I suggest banging someone nasty just to get it over with. Even if you are horrible at sex it won't matter because she's gross and what she thinks doesn't matter.

    Good luck.

      My story is identical to this not everyone is going to lose it to a dime the only men that place a great deal of importance on who they lose it to are virgins and some women

    31 years old never had sex or girlfriend either.

    My anxiety has been debilitating to the point of never having the success that attracts women.

    Also nearing 18 i never sought female companionship via the internet who had similar interests as me.

    Don't know why, i feel guilty and depressed

    I feel your pain. Rather, I felt your pain. I didn't even kiss a girl until 35. I'm not a freak. I'm actually extremely intelligent. I was too caught up in my drug addiction to pursue real relationships. The pain was indescribable. Once I'd left high school and my conditionpersisted through college I sunk into a deep depression. My drug use escalated. Ii felt I'd missed the boat. Hw am I gooing to learn at 25+ then 30+ what everyone should have in high school? Well, my selfloathing peaked and I threw my drugs away. I was miserable. I was in withdrawal for months. It's supposed to last a couple weeks but my habit was astoiundng. I was addicted to substances you'vve probably never heard of. No one thought I'd live. Slowly during my stay in treatment a new person began to emerge. It helped that I'd been thrown from isolation into a safe milieu. Afterwards I went to NA and AA. I got online and I downloaded every 'seduction maunal' speed seduction series and david de angelo book and video I could find. I had to learn intellectually to do what others had been emotionally conditioned to do. And you know what happened? She picked me. A woman dating a former military man and martial artist who'd once broken a mans neck in a barfight over a women began texting me nonstop. She dropped him for me and I lived in terror for a couple weeeks. I was lucky I suppose. This womans patience was angelic. Don't expect your first time to be everything you ever dreamed of don't let it happenw ith a tough bitch. She could have slain me with one harsh word but it all worked out. We parted and I found another. And since then there have been more. I don't often think about the person I was.
    How I ramble. Myadvice: do what I did. I don't care what anyone here says about the morality. Read up on seduction speed seduction humor and dating. You adon't have to become an asshole. What you DO have to do is learn intellectually the knack of communicating with women. that kind of banter Im sure you wish you could engage in. Trust me - it's easier than you think but you need to start with 'how to'. Find a way to break your isolation and don't torment yourself. You'll be ok.
    Oh, and a tanning package and membership at the gym or martial arts schol might help too.
    Good luck man! You'll be ok.

    If you live in a big city get on adult friend finder if your extremely well endowed post your blessing on your profile if your not post someone else's blessing and when it's time to do the deed most likely she won't reject u on the basis of false advertising

    It's not for everyone bro! but if you get all down about it then it will never happen as girls will see you as a real downer..

    get out there enjoy life first, get active, join some clubs. and girls will see you having a good time and think yeah there is a guy who's comfortable and happy / easy going and approachable. then ask a few out :)

    i'm 26 and had one GF (now single) and lost my virginity at 19 and was pretty pointless and rubbish, (but i had to lose it tom someone special? argh! think kinda stupid).. I could have lost it to someone less special when younger. its no big deal when you lose it.

    So next time you meet a girl, don't hold back!

    good luck!

    It's best not to rush into anything. If you're really worried, don't do it simply to lose your viginity. And, if you wait 8 more years, you could film a sequel to the 40-year-old virgin ;)

    In all seriousness, I hope your first time is a special experience for you. Good luck... and no rushing! :)
