15 Adult Virgins Confess Why They’ve Never Had Sex
1. "I’m 33. I never learned how to ask a girl out, even though several of them asked me out, and it led to some very shallow relationships. In university, I was in clubs that kept me very busy and had little time for a social life. I got into World of Warcraft for a year, picked up drawing as a hobby … and then suddenly I was 27 and worked in an office where every girl is at least 40 and usually divorced with kids, and I honestly had no idea how to ask a girl out or even realize if she was interested in me. Fast forward five years. I have a relatively successful career, work 12-hour days and … well, nothing has changed. I thought about helping nature a bit by paying for it. But the one time I ended up in a bar of ill-repute, I was disgusted. I am honestly not worried about not having had sex. I’m worried about living my entire life alone."

“How do I rebuild trust with my wife?”
Almost two years ago, my (M35) marriage began to fall apart after my wife (F34) had an affair, and we started talking about divorce. About 4 to 6 months ago, things began to improve.
Nearly a year ago, she moved out, leaving me and the kids in the house; her affair was my breaking point.
In the past few months, we’ve been doing well and even discussed her moving back in. I have reservations because I want a real relationship again, not just what we have now.
Why Your Vague Goals Hold You Back
Have you ever found yourself standing in front of a mirror, staring at the steam, and mumbling something vague like, “I really should get healthier”? Then you go about your day feeling unsettled, like something’s missing but you can’t quite put your finger on it. Or maybe you’ve written a to-do list full of nebulous items like “clean up” or “be productive,” only to end the week staring at a list of unchecked boxes. Sound familiar?
Feedback Is a Gift
Most of us would rather jump into a freezing lake than hear the words, “Can I give you some feedback?” It’s like the universal prelude to a sucker punch—except instead of hitting your face, it goes straight for your ego. Feedback feels personal because it is personal. It’s about you, your work, your choices, and sometimes even your character. And that can sting.

“He only comes over for sex and ignores me otherwise”
I’ve been casually seeing this guy for about six times now, and I’m starting to feel uncomfortable. Only the first time we met, we did something other than sex. After that, every single time has just been sex and nothing else.
I know he probably doesn’t like me that much, but I still expect him to treat me like a friend at least. I don’t want a serious relationship with him. At the time before last, I asked him if we could do something other than sex, and he said, “Like what?” I told him, “Anything”. But last time we only had sex so nothing changed…

“My Fiancé thinks I can’t change unless he teaches me a lesson.”
My fiancé (34M) and I (30F) have been together for 5 years and living together for 1.5 years.
This morning, while I was cleaning the kitchen (I do all the cleaning) and already working from home, he came in at 7:30am and asked if I was the last person to shower. I said yes and mentioned I bathed the dog last night. He said the shower head was turned toward the door and sprayed him, getting his shirt wet. I apologized right away—I’ve accidentally done this once before while cleaning.
Then he asked me to go turn it off. I was confused why he left the water running, came to get me, and let it spray all over the floor. I rushed into the bathroom, turned it off, and grabbed towels. He stood in the doorway and asked, “About how long will it take you to finish cleaning?” which made me angry. I threw a towel down, rushed out, and told him he could go shower.
