I am glad that most of you on this board are already doing this. It is so good to read the comments on here this week, especially from the guys. At times it is easy to despair of ever finding a guy who values purity with their body, mind, and soul. Besides, think about all of the practical reasons not to have sex outside of marriage. STD's, pregnancy, heartbreak, and so much more.
Abstinence is the right and practical way to go.
I am 18 and have never dated. But when I do date, I know that I will make sure that I date someone with the same beliefs and ideals as me. I am saving all of myself for marriage, down to my first kiss. Keep on keeping on everyone. Someday, if it is in God's will, we will find the perfect someone He has for us.
