36 and Single: How One Painful Hookup Changed My Love Life

I’m 36, never had a real relationship, and I’ve sworn off sex after a single, unexpected encounter. Back in my final year at college, I helped a classmate prepare for our statistics exam. We got close, and one night before the test, we were intimate by accident. It was sweet in the moment but left me with lasting pain. Since then, I’ve been too scared to try again. People assume I don’t like women, but the truth is I’ve been haunted by that one experience. I’m finally sharing my story in hopes of finding understanding and maybe some advice.

It sounds like one unexpected encounter shaped your view of intimacy for years, but feelings can evolve with new experiences.

Abi you no think maybe that hookup was just a blip instead of a life-defining moment?

Maybe start by setting small social goals, like attending low-pressure events or joining a class that sparks your interest, to build comfort gradually.
