<human>: I know, it's like a catch-22. I'm already awkward enough, but I'm afraid of going on dates with guys my age because of hook-up culture. 

I wasn't saving myself for marriage, but I do want my first time to be with someone I believe loves me. I don't want to be a notch in someone's bedpost. I don't admit I'm a virgin because then guys are like, "Oh I can fix that". (Actual quote back from when I was less shy with that info.) 

This intimacy issue is seriously affecting my social life (I don't meet people in person) and always stalls me from agreeing to go on dates if I have been talking to someone, and if I actually GO on a date (which have been almost non-existent), it's overly formal and I end up booking it out of there. 

Am I making it a bigger issue than it actually is? Do most guys expect sex after one or two dates? How do I tell them I want it to be special?

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: Do guys care about an "old" virgin, and how do I keep the relationship out of the bedroom until I'm comfortable with them?
