"I’m a relationship virgin: I’m 54 and have never had a boyfriend"
www.theguardian.com
Of course, she still had fun:
"I am not a virgin, sexually speaking, as I have had sex - thank goodness. I did it a few times when I was in my early 20s: I never imagined that the last time I shared a bed with someone, which was 31 years ago now, would prove to be the last time I ever experienced physical intimacy."
"I woke up thinking it might be the start of something, but then he admitted he was in a serious relationship, and had only wanted a “bit of fun”."
She can't understand why she is single:
"I honestly don’t understand it. I am gregarious, have loads of interests, work out, have good dress sense - or so I am told - and am no more or less attractive than my friends, most of whom are happily married, or at least know what it feels like to be in love."
She thinks the reason is her being a mentalcel:
"Just recently, my best friend - someone I have known since junior school - said to me that she wishes she had given me a good shake when we were at university. She was studying in the next city and would visit me for hall parties and other socials, and now says she could see what I was doing wrong. She says I made it such hard work for any boy who approached me, that I was too much of challenge."
The real reason is said in another part:
"That is when I decided to join a dating agency, but it turned out to be one soul-sinking encounter after another with men who were inadequate, unsuitable or both."
"The best thing about those evenings was going home. In that whole year, I think I only met one person I wanted to see again, but it wasn’t reciprocated so that was that."
She is 54, never had a boyfriend, and still can't lower her standards to find someone.

I’ve had sex but have never been out with anyone. After all these years, I’ve still no idea what the reason is for my long-term singledom
