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.
