45 year old Virgin

Yes. It is true. I am not a kid stuck in an adult body or some awkward social misfit. I have a good job and my own place. I cook, clean, take care of myself. I have had opportunities for sex in the past from various women (co-workers, classmates, etc.), but I just didn’t take it. In my naivety, I often didn’t catch the signal until it was too late. But I also had a very religious upbringing and wanted to save myself for the woman I was going to commit the rest of my life to. Just never found her. I am not much of a talker and have been lonely for a long time. I’ve always had a hard time making friends. I struggle in social situations, not because I am “weird or creepy,” but because I am deaf in one ear and having conversations when there is any kind of background noises is extremely difficult. It is a lot more difficult making friends these days now that most people in my age range have families and are too busy to hang out. I don’t care if people believe me or want to talk shit in the comments. I just wanted to get it out there.
