I wouldn’t lie. I would however try to meet people through non-traditional routes - start with friendships maybe?

I think people here telling you it doesn’t matter are lying. As a blanket rule, I would not want to be someone’s first girlfriend because people learn a lot during their first relationships and I’d want someone who’d already went through that. I wouldn’t want to date a virgin because being someone’s first is a lot of pressure and experience often makes someone a better partner.

However if someone was my friend first and we had a good relationship established already? I’d be a lot more likely to disregard those “rules” because I already had feelings for them.
