cash78mere-- well said. I too waited for someone I thought was special. Only I met him at during my freshman year, and so shortly before I turned 19 took the plunge.
In retrospect-- he wasn't good enough, LOL, but I was READY-- that plays a factor too. I've wished on occasion my first had been someone else now, but at the time, it was right for me.
I respect highly that you respect yourself to wait until its special, that is what we should ALL do, whether that happens at 18, 23, 25 whenever.
MY personal feeling is that many (NOT ALL) people who say they are saving it all for marriage-- are being naive. My PERSONAL feeling, that's all that is.
But saving yourself for the moment and relationship that is right for you-- THAT is the sensible thing to do.
And I think Fuzzie meant, or I took it her comment on dating someone who is saving themselves as well to mean people who intend to save themselves for marriage, and can't even fathom the possibility that they may be so in love, so attracted, feel so passionately about someone that they wouldn't want to wait.
Where's ErikaXO on this thread, anyway?
