Male here but I don't think it exactly matters. If it does please let me know why.

So I'm an older virgin 28 turning 29 soon. Don't feel like I really need to go into the reasons why as that isn't exactly important for this. How do you bring up with someone that you are inexperienced and have never had sex? Obviously I know it's not when you first meet someone "hi nice to meet you by the way I'm a virgin." In the past there have been times where I trusted the other person and I brought it up when the conversation was moving towards sex and it didn't go very well. I've heard that as you get older that for some people being with someone who is inexperienced just doesn't sound very appealing. What do you say? how do you say it? What should you say or do if someone has a negative react to revealing something this personal about yourself? It makes me really nervous thinking about telling someone because I have no idea how they will react to it and I'm just looking for some advice.
