I don’t have a job right now, but it’s not like I’m sitting around doing nothing. I’ve been actively looking, and while the Cameroon employment systems aren’t exactly quick or easy to navigate, I’m doing my best and hoping something eventually comes through.
The thing that’s really been bothering me, though, is my love life, or the complete lack of one.

I’m 28 years old and still a virgin, and lately it’s been getting to me. I’m not trying to sound arrogant, but I know I’m not a bad-looking guy. I’m tall, dark, intelligent, and I’ve always been told I have a good personality. Back in the day, girls would approach me, flirt with me, and show interest. These days, however, it feels like I’ve become invisible.
I’ve asked girls out before, but somehow things never seem to work out. The strange thing is that I can often tell they’re interested. It’s in the way they look at me, the way they act around me, and the energy between us. Yet whenever it seems like something could happen, life gets in the way. Either they travel, I travel, or some other circumstance pops up and kills the momentum.
The result is that I’ve never actually been in a relationship, and sometimes I feel like I’m missing out on a huge part of life. If I’m being honest, I know I might be contributing to the problem. I’m very selective when it comes to women. I want someone I’m genuinely attracted to, someone I find naturally beautiful, and I’ve always told myself that I won’t settle for a relationship with someone I’m not excited about. Because of that, I’ve turned down a few women who showed interest in me.
Now I’m starting to wonder whether I’ll ever find the right person where I am. Part of me is considering looking elsewhere and being open to meeting someone from a different city or even a different country. If a woman is willing to put in the effort and make things work, I’m willing to do the same.
Men Don’t Like It When Women Do The Paying
At the end of the day, I just want to experience love. I want to know what it feels like to be chosen by someone and to build something meaningful together. I’m tired of putting myself out there only to end up disappointed.
Has anyone else been through something similar? How did you handle it? And honestly, is it strange to still be a virgin at 28?
