I’m nearly 28 and still a virgin, constantly torn between 2 extremes. One side of me feels like the next person who’s romantically interested in me, I should just sleep with them and get it over with (that’s if any guy would want me as a virgin as this age). But the other side of me knows I need some kind of emotional connection first or I’ll end up getting attached and hurt/feel used.

I don’t date anyway, I still live with my parents and sex feels like an unrealistic option for me logistically which adds to this feeling of being so behind socially and romantically. I don’t have any friends or other family so I’m pretty isolated. It feels like everyone at work is in relationships and buying houses except for me. As I get older I am overcome with these feelings of fear and embarrassment
