Message from TG

I received the following email from TG:

I read the post you wrote about our date in your blog. Although I was disappointed that you didn’t find me interesting I found the feedback very useful. Please could you write back with further indications of where I might have gone wrong so that I don’t make the same mistakes on my next date.

I've decided to publish my reply to TG online because I think my comments apply to many people. We all have a bit of TG inside us, (although virgins such as myself don't have the experiences to appreciate the enormity of that bit of TG... that joke only makes sense if you've read the article about my date with TG.)

TG the only thing you did wrong is put yourself down all the time. You are a good looking chap and from your blog I can see that you have an interesting life. You should not pay too much attention to my comments on you as firstly, I have only met you once and very briefly and secondly, I'm exaggerating people's bad points for the sake of getting some cheap laughs. That was unfair of me in your case and I'm sorry. As far as I can see the only place that you went wrong was having no self-confidence. Dare to be yourself and learn to love it.

Is the quest becoming more exciting than the goal?

Today I received the following message:

I wonder what is taking you so long. Surely you would have found a suitable de-virginator by now! Is the quest becoming more exciting than the goal?

I love the word de-virginator but I don’t really understand why this writer thinks it’s surprising that I haven’t met the right person yet. I’ve only been on four dates. The quest is exciting but I cannot comment on whether or not it is becoming more exciting than the goal because, never having experienced sex before I don’t know how exciting the goal will be. Although I am looking forward to losing my virginity, I have to admit that I'm enjoying the chase. If I meet the right person too soon then I'll have to end my story sooner than I was anticipating and I don't feel as though it's really kicked off yet.
One person asked why I feel the need to narrate my adventures. The reason is not only that it attracts a wide variety of potential suitors but that I enjoy writing this sort of thing. It is very rare that a girl is given the chance to so openly report on such an interesting voyage of self-discovery and so I want to make use of the opportunity before I have sex and lose my virginal perspective or enter the monotony of full time employment.

A Real Life Love Interest

Two weeks ago, before I set up this site, I met a fascinating guy (DF) and we really hit it off but sadly I didn’t hear from him again. However I just got a text message from him, he’d lost my phone number and only just been able to track me down. Now what do I do? I’m enjoying my blind dates (even though they have been rather unsuccessful) too much to give them up for somebody I’ve met once but if he finds out about this that might be a ticket straight to being deleted from his phone book altogether.

*DATE* The Shallow Bastard

Because the date with Charlie was so short I texted MH, a guy who sent me his mobile number yesterday and asked him if he’d like to meet for a quick drink at The Turf. He accepted almost instantaneously yet arrived half an hour late. Despite seeming charming over email his behaviour was far from polite. His appearance was shabby yet he wore an overwhelming amount of aftershave and I was afraid to get too close to him in case I suffocated from the fumes. He took one look at me and said in a thick Irish accent,
“Right, we’ve seen each other now. Let just be frank. Are you going to sleep with me or not?” My reflexes said,
“No, probably not.” With that, he turned and left. I’m certain I made the right decision.

Current Exclusion Criteria:
-married men
-people who list more than 2 insecurities during any 5 minute period
-people who feel they need to take consecutive showers in order to be truly clean
-people who can’t judge the right and wrong moments to start a kiss
-women
-people who don’t reveal their gender before the date
-people who demand a decision too soon
-people who wear too much aftershave

*DATE* The Misleading Lesbian

My third meeting almost didn’t happen because I had great difficulty identifying my date. Charlie* contacted me using the email address that I gave in my initial post (virginstudent69@yahoo.co.uk) and failed to mention that she wasn’t a man. Maybe I shouldn’t have assumed that just because somebody was interested in dating me they were male but I was shocked when I found out the price of my jumping to conclusions. I suppose the misunderstanding was partly based on the fact that I didn’t realise just how many lesbians are out there and partly because I assumed that it was the male species that were more likely to be taken in by an advert to help a girl lose her virginity. So the fact that Charlie was a female when I was looking for a male meant that when I entered Border’s coffee shop and saw that there were no men sitting alone, I assumed I’d been stood up until she came over and introduced herself. I could tell from the way she wasn’t at all embarrassed when I explained that I wasn’t expecting a girl, that she already knew that and I felt a little irritated that she’d deliberately allowed such a thing to happen.
Charlie was stunning and not at all boyish. She’s the only lesbian I’ve ever seen without really broad shoulders. She did have short hair but she had a great bone structure so she looked very feminine and delicate. At first (partly due to some OxRom members warning me about the potential to attract media attention) I was afraid that she might be a reporter from the Cherwell or something but it turned out that she really was a lesbian and hoping to be a candidate for my first time. She was so attractive that I’m sure if I was that way inclined then I would have fancied her but I’m not so I didn’t. It’s not that I have anything against lesbians, it’s just that I’m not one. Also, I want to lose my virginity properly, not with a woman. I tried to explain this to Charlie and she seemed very offended. She kept insisting that lesbian sex is real sex but how can it be? I mean girls just don’t have the necessary equipment do they? After I relayed my views on the subject the conversation seemed to have adopt an icy feel and I was glad when the date was over. I’ve never drunk coffee so fast. I burnt my tongue.

How Do I Look?

I’ve received numerous messages asking for a photograph of me. I have also received quite a few messages saying,
“I can’t believe men are replying when they don’t even know what you look like!”
Well although some have asked about my subject and college very few know anything about my interests, my manner, my sense of humour etc yet have still begged a date so why is it so hard to believe that somebody would want to meet me despite not having seen a picture? (As it happens I’m surprised that anybody wants to date me at all given the nature of my site but I’m not complaining.)

Just so as you know, I am not prepared to send out any photos via email. I still wish to remain as anonymous as possible. For the record, I scored 8.5 on www.hotornot.com but no, I won’t tell you the link to my picture.

Why the rush?

Several people have asked me “Why the rush?” Well there are twol reasons. Firstly, where better to find the right person to lose your virginity with than a University where there are hundreds of people of similar age? Secondly, it’s a psychological thing for me, although I know objectively that I’m an attractive person, knowing that I’m still a virgin is somewhat of a stressor. It’s never really bothered me (much) before now because I’ve always been able to say to myself “Well, it’s just because I work so hard and don’t meet many people.” But now I no longer have that excuse. Having said that, the end of term is not an absolute deadline, if I don’t meet somebody I feel comfortable with before then I will continue to wait, but I’m going to give it my best shot for the sake of my self confidence and libido.

What Subject Do I Do?

Many potential suitors have been trying to find out more about me, for example my college, my subject etc. I have decided not to disclose any information that could be used to identify me to anybody apart from those I meet for a date. That way there is a mutual respect that will prevent us from revealing each other’s identities. Given that I won’t tell people my subject, people have been guessing. So far I’ve been accused of being a psychologist (because this smells like a big, manipulative game) and a lawyer (because this smells like a big, manipulative game.)

*DATE* The Very Clean Guy

I’m planning on spending the evening with friends but I didn’t want to lose an entire day from my mission so I arranged to meet two men (separately) for coffee; morning and afternoon.

I recognised TG because he was the only person standing outside Starbucks looking sheepish. I was surprised that he looked so shy because last night I received a message from him telling me that he had been so kind as to release no less than four young ladies from virginity and that the only draw back was that they weren’t experienced enough to appreciate the enormity of his cock! You may be wondering why, when I’ve had in excess of 20 offers, would I choose to date one who would send such an arrogant email. Well, the reason is that TG’s message included a link to his personal blog which turned out to be full of descriptions of rich and exciting experiences and was not in anyway as arrogant as his original message.
Whenever I go to Starbucks I order a really gooey and creamy drink and end up feeling sick. I never learn. Today was no exception. I would have been disappointed had it been an interesting date to spoil. It wasn’t. TG could be the most fascinating person in the world, but if he is, I missed it. He was impossible to hold a conversation with. His insecurities were enormous, he thought his head was too small for his body, that his knuckles were too prominent and that his upper lip was too thin compared with his lower lip. Now we all have our little insecurities but I don’t really think it’s a good idea to list them when you’ve just met somebody. I like somebody with confidence because then I have reason to believe they have something to be confident about.
He was quick to tell me that he felt very clean because he’d had three showers before coming out on the date. Now I don’t know about you, but if I’m particularly dirty, I have one quite long shower, not three ordinary showers. That struck me as quite strange.
Despite seeming shy and under confident for the entire coffee date, he suddenly moved in to try and kiss me as we were leaving. Fortunately I was able to say that I was feeling sick after my hot chocolate drink without it being a lie, which gave me a good reason not to kiss him.

Current Exclusion Criteria:

Furious email from Mr C

This morning I received the following email from Mr C:

Will you take that scandalous post about me off your website. I even bought you a drink and this is how you repay me?

I'm sorry Mr C but you were aware of the nature of this site before you went on the date. I haven't used your real name so I'm sure that even if your wife stumbles across the site you won't get into trouble.
