So, as I said, I'm a virgin.  I've never been kissed or been on a date, either.  It used to bother me when I was younger, but now I'm okay.  I have a fulfilling job, lots of hobbies, good friends, etc.  My friends are all married with kids, or divorced, or in long term relationships.  At various times they've asked about setting me up with someone or why I don't go out much.  I tell them I'm busy with my career, which is partially true.

So, here's where the problem happened.  New Year's Eve happened so we all went out for a girl's night.  I rarely drink, but I was caught up in the moment and had a bit too much.  When someone asked me why I wasn't flirting with guys at the bar, I let out that I'm a virgin.  I made a joke out of it, but no one else found it funny.

So, that night and for the next few days after that, they've been bugging me about it.  They're hurt that I haven't told them, a bit bewildered (like I have 3 heads or something!), and are just sort of pitying me.  One of my friends has been trying to tell me that sex isn't that great anyway, but hey, I'm not stupid.  

I've told them to leave me alone, but they won't stop bringing it up.  I see all of them again tomorrow evening for our knitting circle, and I don't really want to be fielding questions the whole time.  I've learned to accept my virgin status, but hearing the constant questions is making me feel sad all over again.

Any advice for dealing with this situation?  They won't stop offering people for me to date, and I'm pretty sure they've all told their husbands by now.  My secret's out and I can't take it back.
<bot>: Told my friends I'm a virgin as a drunken mistake.  They won't stop pitying me and asking me about it.
