Depends. If they are older and desperately trying to get some but cannot because they have gotten creepy in a "feel up drunk girls" sort of way (I've seen it happen), or if they are too scared to commit because of a fear of a broken heart or whatever, then yeah, I'd say they are sad.
Fact is, and they never tell you this but chances are you're not getting married to the first person you get with, unless you marry them first. So all that worry over having to be in a relationship first or after the big event, is pointless. The odds are good they won't be your last and making your first time all special is dumb. Every time ought to be special, or at least enjoyable.
Otherwise, who cares? I mean, being a virgin forever is obviously a bit strange, but people have their reasons. That being said, I don't personally see what the big deal is. It's just sex and you're going to have to get it out of the way and get good at it eventually. Just pray that it isn't awkward or that something bad doesn't happen. Find someone who knows what they are doing, be safe and have fun is the best advice I can offer.
