DEAR DEIDRE: AHEAD of my 26th birthday next month, I’m still a virgin.
I’ve never even kissed a girl, partly because my Asperger’s syndrome makes social situations difficult for me. I feel inferior to other men.
My Asperger’s syndrome makes it hard to meet girls and I’m still a virgin[/caption]
The word “virgin” means “loser” in a lot of places and it makes me feel there is something wrong with me.
I keep thinking I’m running out of time and no girl will ever be interested in a rookie.
I can’t help but wonder if this is this going to have a bad effect on me later in life.
Will the ladies be put off by my inexperience?

DEIDRE SAYS:
Don’t be ashamed about being a virgin – everyone travels at their own pace.
You might just need to be patient.
