How important is it to you that a guy that you might date has prior relationship experience? I ask this because I'm a guy who has never really had a girlfriend before. I've been on a couple of dates here and there but never branching out since a lot of them were never that interested. Always makes me feel odd man out since all of my peers have several years of relationship experience ahead of me. I know I can offer a lot to a girl who is ever interested in me because I know I'm a good guy. I'm always reluctant to answer when the question comes up because I always get odd looks from people and some have followed with "How is that exactly?!" It always makes me feel awkward.

 If she is worth it, your dating background shouldn't have any bearing on how she feels about you.

 You just have to ignore the answer, whatever that will be. If the answer is yes, it's important then are you going to forget relationships altogether? Some women want men with experience, some women want men who had never played the field. Because I have strong empathy, I would never make a man like you feel bad with your inexperience. I would treat you like an equal and not make that an issue. I have no preference towards experience or no experience. I would be curious though what led you to be celibate all your life. Face the fact that people will judge you even silently. I would judge an experienced person just as much as an inexperienced one. What you should be doing is upgrading yourself with other areas in your life and not ponder on what you never have.
