45 Years a Virgin… Am I Strange?
A True Story of Choice, Expectation, and Doubt
The story I’m sharing today is true, told to me by a 45-year-old woman who reached out to confide in me.
Her account, both unique and universal, makes us reflect on social expectations, personal choices, and the search for love.
“I’m 45 and I’m a virgin,” she began, her voice hesitant.
“It’s not for lack of opportunities, believe me. I could have easily had sex, even today. But I’ve always waited for something special — not necessarily marriage, mind you.
Just someone I truly liked and fully trusted.”
As I listened, I realized the weight she carried.
Her decision, made with conviction over the years, now seemed to question her at every turn.
“I’ve never been in a serious relationship,” she continued.
“And now… well, now I’m getting worried. Do men see this as a red flag?”
