None.

I really think it wouldn't be as bad if I were female, since it wouldn't work against the future possibility of having a relationship, at least nearly as much.
I'm trying to understand what you mean here. It's just as hard for females as for males. Plenty of guys hold it against women my age who've never been in a relationship. They think there must be something wrong with you, so they give you the old heave-ho.

When I do get into a relationship I plan on not telling them I've never been in one before. Better that way.

The difference I think is that it usually falls on the guy to be the leaders in the relationship. We have to plan multiple interesting dates in succession, know when and how to kiss you, and other things like that. If someone's not well-practiced at that in the one-strike-and-you're-out world of dating women, that's going to work against you. Women, on the other hand, don't have that extra burden. An "ugly duckling" past of a woman isn't going to come back to bite her as much because she doesn't have those extra responsibilities and expectations. Everything a guy may expect of you is something a gal would expect of me. And I get essential extras on top of that.

And Leo, you should be honest with that guy, whoever he is. If he's decent, he won't count it against you. Heck, he might not even count it against you if he's not decent.

None official there was one guy who I fell hard for really hard for cared about more then anything but it turned out it wasnt mutual so i'm not really sure what to call it but thats all. Hopefully one day I can really experience what it's like before I am an old maid no one wants.

If I were honest it would undoubtedly spell the end of things. If guys say they aren't somewhat bothered by it, they're lying.

I for one wouldn't be bothered by that in the least, and I'm a bad liar. Take that for what it's worth.

If you lie though, a lot of guys WILL hold that against you. We don't like being lied to.

The right guy won't be bothered by it. I didn't date at all until I was 21. And I was pretty sure that it would be held against me as well, but it didn't phase my ex at all. He told me early on he thought it was an honor to be in a relationship with me and he knew I wasn't settling for just anyone because i did wait so long to start dating.

Much like what Sketcher and Tig said, it really isn't a big deal at all; some guys find it endearing.

That's because you're in the same boat. I'm talking about guys that have been with multiple people.

I didn't say I would lie about it. I just don't want to mention it. But I suppose that could be lying by omission. :D
