So yeah to give you an idea why I started this thread - I'm 34, male and still a virgin, technically speaking. Mainly faith reasons as to the reason why. I've had relationships, which have been physical to varying degrees but just never gone all the way because I've not believed in fornication. However, I didn't think I'd still be waiting at this age. It just hasn't worked out for me and the disappointment with that is truly painful and depressing. I try not to think about it a great deal as it horrifies me and I have contemplated suicide as a result.

Hoping my situation will change someday soon but I just wish I was never in this position in the first place.

I think the most difficult challenge is actually meeting women. I don't seem to be meeting enough women on a regular basis. Obviously this involves increasing my social activity and circles but I feel stuck. I work in a very small company so nothing happening there and at church it can be very difficult to meet people. The only way I see myself meeting someone realistically is online and I've been working hard with that for a long time now. Had some good dates, average dates but nothing seems to work out. Either not having that physical attraction, chemistry or that connection/spark.

I know I have to just keep trying but at this age and after having gone through some bad relationships in the past as well (another story on its own), the desire and motivation and confidence is not what it used to be. It's difficult to keep persevering and hoping that one day it might work out.
