I’m almost 27 and a virgin, I’ve read a few posts on FDS recently that it’s a red flag and a dealbreaker for most women, and I also read some comments saying that way a man mentions his virginity is also a red flag. I’m not trying to argue with this standard, I just want to know the best way and time to let a woman know I’m a virgin to save us both time.

In case it is relevant, I don’t have any experience because I had social anxiety when I was younger and then decided to get my financial life together before I started dating

EDIT: Thank you to the women who responded and DMed me. I dont know if you care but your comment motivated me to finally call my doctor to get put on some anxiety meds like my counselor recommended, so thank you. I honestly felt a little sick reading your comment because everything you said was very true unfortunately. I've genuinely taken what you said to heart and I wish someone had made this comment to me 10 years ago.
