LOL sorry, work has been busy!
When I first moved here from London (3years ago), I didn't know anyone, so signed up for some online dating. I met this guy soon after, and our first date was good- I thought he was cute in a geeky sort of way, we had a good bit in common, the conversation flowed well... After a few more dates, we had progressed to snogging at the taxi rank but no further, so for our 4th or 5th date, I invited him to my house for a Thai takeaway so we could take things further.
At this point, things were still promising but I was starting to have some doubts- he was a bit clingy, like he would want our dates to be like day long events and would try to book further dates before we'd even have had the next one. I should also add, I was still a bit of a commitment phone at the time!
Also though, some of his personality was unattractive to me- it's hard to explain exactly what- he seemed to lack confidence and motivation in life in general, lacked adventure and was just generally a bit uncool, though seemed to know he was uncool and had a chip on his shoulder about it. Like he deserved a special award for not being into what everyone was into. He was totally the "Nice Guy TM" type who complains about girls "putting him in the friend zone". But, he was the most promising date I'd had in ages, and I didn't know anyone else in town, so I thought getting a bit more intimate would help me decide.
So, on this make or break date, we were making out on my very uncomfortable sofa and I suggested going upstairs. That's when he said he had something to tell me. My first thoughts were that he had herpes or one ball, but nope, he revealed he was a virgin! I asked if he'd done other things and he said he was a virgin in every sense of the word and that I was only the third girl he's kissed. He said it wasn't a religious or moral thing- he was just waiting for the right person. And, he thought that was me so just wanted to take it slow.
At the time I was understanding, but after the date when I considered it, there was no way we could continue. I wanted to take things slow relationshipwise but get to the physical stuff sooner to figure out if I fancied him. He was going way too fast with the relationship though (he wanted me to meet his friends the next weekend). There was no way I could deflower him though because I was already having serious doubts about it going somewhere. I'd feel so guilty that I'd probably stick with him for awhile if we had done it!
I broke up with him via email before our next date. He emailed back a nice response. So all ended well. I hope he's found someone now to deflower him!
After him though, I was scared to ever try online dating again. I ended up getting more involved with my ex who was a long-distance on and off FWB for a few months until I told him that we needed space or we'd never find anyone for something real. Luckily I had a friend that made me try online dating with her a couple years ago and that's when I met OH. My ex-FWB and I are still friends and he has a girlfriend now too, so that's all worked out too.
