I'd suggest trying to date but not rush into the sex part of it. Don't put pressure on yourself. Wait until you find someone you trust

I've only been with 2 people and the first one was only once and I heavily regret it now. Wish I'd just waited for the second! So wouldn't recommend rushing. There's some weird stigma about being a virgin above a certain age but I don't think it's a problem now, but it's what caused me to rush a bit to lose mine. The right person will understand why you haven't yet and hopefully will be pleased that you've picked them to go there with!

That's just my 2 cents. I'm no expert though I only lost my own v plates last year! (I'm 25 btw!)
