'Never been kissed - I got to 32 without ever going on a date'

A woman who had never been kissed until the age of 32 has finally starting dating and says she's not embarrassed to be a "late bloomer". Allora Campbell, 32, "lost trust in love" when she experienced unrequited love in her early 20s.

She had expected she would be pursued by men but it never happened. So she put her energy into her career and travelling and occasionally tried a dating app before promptly deleting it after experiencing “creepy” messages from guys.
