Let me tell you, as someone who's got a few more years under his belt, life doesn't follow a strict timeline or checklist—it’s more like a meandering river, and everyone’s path is unique. Being 31 with certain life experiences you haven't had yet doesn't define you, and it certainly doesn't diminish your worth or potential for happiness.

Your dedication to work and the effort you put into maintaining connections, even if it’s just a shopping trip with your coworker, shows you’re a responsible and thoughtful person. You’re living your life in your own way, and that’s perfectly okay. The opportunities and experiences you're looking for may come at their own pace, sometimes when you least expect it.

The important thing is to focus on what brings you joy and fulfillment, whether that’s trying new hobbies, meeting new people, or simply embracing who you are today. Remember, there’s no expiration date on new beginnings, and life has a way of surprising us.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a virgin. I wish there were more of us who would still be virgins. I take my hat off to you. Sex if fun, don't get me wrong, but with the wrong person leaves us with emotional scars God Never Intended for us to bear. Keep the faith and shalom.

This is becoming still more and more common. Living on your own as a single person is expensive and being around parent/s all the time can suck out any will to go out to be around even more people. I can imagine that if you live alone, you might be more motivated to go out from time to time. But maybe I'm wrong. 😅

No there's a surprisingly large number of women in similar circumstances to you.

Although it may not make you happy, it's not -weird-, right.

No, you’re not. I have a friend that was a virgin until she got married at age 40 to her very first boyfriend.

Bf’s are overrated you just need a BFF. Not yet understood what a man can do for me that I cannot do for myself.

I have a step stool and a jar opener 😄

Dont let society or friends pressure you. Thats admirable. I hope that your first time is with someone you intend to marry

I doubt it.

I’d imagine a percentage of ladies and gents are in this position.

Whatever people consider it to be, but you are doing absolutely great.

There's nothing wrong with that. The people who think these things are a way to measure social status will live and die like the rest of us. You just do things your way.

Nah my sister is 33 😏

Are you interested in dating?

Probably not.

Are you purposely saving yourself for someone special, or it just has happened?
