What happened?
So what did you actually do? Did she actually show up? Did you call it off?
As far as the concerns, the reality is, whether it's a stripper or some girl you meet at a club, at a social club, in class or in the park, you have no idea how many men they may or may not have been with.
It's easy to say don't do it when you have 3 or 4 dates every week. But if the guy is 24 years old and doesn't like being a virgin, i don't see the problem if it's not a moral thing.
I mean if you are the kind of person who thinks paying for sex is a moral dilemma, i'm gonna assume you rarely date.
Yeah it's nice to think you will date a girl who likes you for who you are and all that bs, but the reality is, if your a virgin at 24, it probably means you are going to date girls who aren't always the best of the best. It's just that simple.
I always had trouble being labeled the quiet one, the one sitting in the corner or the one at home and not out or the drunk and plastered one. Most of the girls i wound up with were girls i met when i wasn't exactly sober.
As I got older I tried to date professional woman who you'd be proud to bring home to your parents. THey weren't always the "innocent" ones but they were better than some trash i met while drunk. THey paid for themselves, had a career like I did, sometimes a career a lot better than mine, but in the end, it never worked out because the fact is, I was either to quiet or not good enough for them.
For me, it wasn't that I felt awkward around them, which sometimes I did, it was the fact if I had to meet their friends or their family, that became the end. I guess it's more than SA with me because in all honesty, while i had a good job and career, I never felt good enough.
I remember one girl who was finishing up law school. She was cool and she liked me. We dated and hung out for about a month and things were ok. Then a few times we had to hang out with her friends and brothers. They were all either lawyers, successful business people or just spoiled rich kids. I worked hard, made good money, but nothing like they did. And the worse was sitting at one gathering having not one thing to say. My mind froze, I was blank, and it was just awful. The girl didn't dump me on the spot or anything, but it made her look at me in a different way. They were all about networking and I was all about hiding in the corner. As they say , first impressions.
You can say, well she wasn't right for me then, but i'm 31 years old now and the fact is, because I haven't networked well in my life or just can't, i've been stuck in a downward spiral. Laid off and can't find work cause I don't know anybody. So i get more depressed and can't pay bills. I finally get another good job, only to be laid off or terminated due to projects ending, me being too quiet at work, or just bad luck, the fact is, i remember those people looking at me like, what's this guys problem...
And the truth is, regardless of what I think or people say, it is a problem. If I can't network, I'm basically useless. And in the end, who wants to date or be with or hire a useless person. It might be a little harsh but it is what it is. What can I do for you and what can you do for me is the way the world works. If I don't socialize or network, I can't do anything for anybody, including myself.
This goes back to the OP. Do it if you want and get it over with. It's no big deal really. I mean unless your extremely religious, go for it but wear protection. If something goes wrong, you feel shy, or awkward, you can always try again with the same girl or another "stripper."
But if you start dating some girl you actually like and then finally get to the point of sex with her and you get nervous or awkward or just can't perform, it's no longer, "she's just a stripper so so what." And people who say well, "she wasn't the one for you anyway" have obviously never dealt with failure or embarrassment that often to realize those little things stick with you for a long time.
Being embarrassed with somebody you barely know, don't really like, and probably will never see again, whether it's a stripper or some one night stand is a lot different than being embarrassed with somebody you think you have a future with.
