Dear Pastor,

I read your column all the time. I am a bit stressed out and lonely at the moment. Don't get me wrong. I thank God for life, food and shelter, but I do not have a partner. I have never been with a man. I do not know how they smell and how they feel against my body. It is not that they don't approach me, but they all want one thing.

I am not giving my body to anyone but my husband. It will be a gift to him. I am 40 years old and I have never felt what God left us on earth to do. I am a Christian and a principled woman. That is why I have kept myself until now.

I would like a man who loves personal hygiene, loving, and knows how to take care of his empress. He must be working and he must be responsible and not a pretender or a drinker and a smoker. I do not want a womaniser or a liar.

I just want a real loving and caring Rastaman. I live with my mother, so I am a well-behaved woman, but I am burning. The Bible says that you must take a man, but there is no real gentleman out there.

I hope I am not asking for too much, I just want you to understand a poor, lonely, thirsty girl who is not a ginnal. I love quiet places and I also love nature.

Lonely Girl

Dear Lonely Girl,

It is not uncommon to hear men say that they are interested in finding virgins. A gentleman used to call me and asked me if I could recommend a virgin to him, because he believes that he should marry a virgin. I asked him whether he was a virgin and he said no. I told him that, in my opinion, he shouldn't insist that his wife ought to be a virgin. He got very upset and he never called me again. He did not like my response.

You are 40 years old and you are declaring that you are a virgin, untouched. But it is your desire to be touched. And you would give up your virginity if you could find a good loving Rastaman who would marry you.

I am amazed that you have not been able to find a good Rastaman. However, I believe that is quite possible through this medium. I will contact you if someone is interested in meeting you.

Pastor
