A 33-year-old virgin has revealed her “10 commandments” for her perfect match – and will stay single and celibate until she finds a suitor.
Danyelle Noble said she has always been happy on her own and despite wanting a relationship, she’s not ready to settle for just anyone, not even for a one-night stand.
The dancer from Florida, USA, explained that she has a list of requirements that her ideal man would meet before she’d consider taking things to the next level physically.
“Ten things I look for in a man is family oriented, genuine, kind-hearted, tall, fit, loves to travel, loves the outdoors, daring, hasn’t been married before, humour, stability and he respects me,” Danyelle said.
“I used to get embarrassed to tell people, I would just lie and say no I’m not a virgin, but being able to talk about it more makes me realise that there’s nothing wrong with that and a lot of guys actually do respect that.”
Danyelle said that growing up, she never had an interest in dating and always focused on her studies rather than worrying about getting a date.
She was never asked on dates by boys in her school either, so was never given that first push into the dating world. She explained that since getting older, she has been put off the idea of a relationship as she doesn’t want something meaningless.
However, Danyelle did lay out a 10-year plan, which included being married and having kids within the next decade, but her plan came crashing down when she realised she didn’t want to settle for just anyone.
The dancer is on the hunt for her perfect person who shares the same values as her and wants the same things out of life. She refuses to take anyone home until they meet her standards.
She said she isn’t the type of person to get intimate with someone after a couple of dates and wants to make sure that it feels right before jumping under the covers.
“I’m very picky, I know what I want. I have high standards and I’m not messing around – I’m not here to date and just sleep with guys,” she said.
“A lot of my friends use dating apps and go home with the guy on the first night but that’s just not me.
“I’m not someone who goes on a date with someone and goes back to their house to sleep with. I’m at the age in my life where when I find the right person I know it’ll be worth it.
“And going so long with never having a boyfriend I’ve honestly gotten used to and really learned about myself.
“I straight up tell guys on the first date and if it bothers them then I leave if not then I’ll see how the rest of the dates go.”
She said she doesn’t want to date someone only to get divorced, just like her parents did a decade ago. Danyelle said sometimes she thinks she’s better off being single as she can afford her lifestyle and doesn’t want to be tied down.
“I do want to settle but I just want to make sure when I find my person, they have the same value as me, they know what they want in life and do all those same fun things that I want to do. I just don’t want to settle just to settle,” she said.
“The longest a date has ever progressed for me is when it got up to the third day and then nothing ever happened from there.
“At this point, I even tried to send myself to these dating shows because sometimes people find love there.
“I feel like my man is in another country, and America is not working right now for me. But I know God has a plan.
“I’m going to keep doing everything that I like to do. And when I know that person comes along, we’re going to click, and he’s going to be the one, and I’m going to be so glad I waited so long to find my man.”
