Woman, 29, goes online in quest to lose virginity before age 30

A 29-YEAR-OLD American woman who is still a virgin has begun an online hunt for a man to have sex with before she turns 30.

Sarah DiMuro, who went to an all-girls school and women-only university, is hoping readers of Jane magazine will find the right man for her by the time she celebrates her birthday on November 7.

They can nominate potential suitors via the magazine’s website and DiMuro will choose who she wants to go on dates with, reporting back on each night out in her blog.

The attractive blonde, who is confident enough to perform as an open mic stand-up comic, is looking for a “nice, good-smelling tall guy”.

She told the magazine that she lives in all-female residence in Manhattan, where men aren’t allowed past a “courting parlour” in the lobby and that before she blossomed into “a veritable hot chick” she was “extremely dorky” and suffered from bad acne.

“When you tell friends about a project like this, first they laugh and say, ‘Really?’,” DiMuro said.

“But after the weirdness rubs off, they think about who they can set you up with.”

So far she has been on one date. She got on well with the man, called Lucky, but felt they had no real connection.

“I think he is a sweet fella and it was nice hearing about his life but I don’t think that we are a romantic fit. I just had no desire to kiss him, which is not a good thing on a date,” she wrote on her blog.

Catholic-raised DiMuro, who says she only kissed a man for the first time when she was 23, told the New York Daily News: “I’m a little bit anxious about all of this. I guess this is why my stomach hurts so much.

“I never went all the way before because I didn’t feel right.”

She added: “Recently I just became startlingly aware of the fact that I’m about to turn 30.

“Some people buy a new car. Some people get their hair cut differently.

“Me, I haven’t done so much with my life in terms of social stuff. So this is my adventure — with a kind of scientific method.”
