My problem is I’m worried guys will judge me as I’ve never been in a committed relationship and I’m a virgin.In the past, I had a bad experience with a guy. He turned out to be a nasty piece of work. I fell for the wrong guy and I got hurt. It took me a long time to move on. This is why I am single.My bad experience put me off getting close to guys and I didn’t want to get hurt. I’m ready to meet someone new but I’m worried guys will judge me when they find out I’m a virgin and the fact that I’ve never been in a relationship. I’ve dated guys in the past. If I do meet someone genuine, when do I tell them I’m less experienced? Thanks

A full blown virgin can put some guys off but only because they worry about the responsibility of a sexual encounter meaning too much to you compared to what it means to them. It's pretty rare for them to literally find your virginity itself unattractive.

Seriously, if they like you enough, then I would have thought (at least personally) that it really wouldn't matter. The subject would (I imagine) crop up before act itself. There's a first time for everything and no-one expects anyone to be the world's greatest lover the first time.
Give yourself a break, and try to not focus on it. It's really not a big deal.
