who are mature and know what they are talking about? Thanks.
(I wanted opinions of married couples or older, more wiser people also--I posted this in singles and dating)
I am only 18 right now and in college where sex is practically everywhere is seems. Although I kissed, I never had sex, so I am a virgin, and I never dated or had a boyfriend. I don't believe in casual sex. I want to have sex with a guy whom I feel real love for and who I can see marrying one day. I want a long-term, serious relationship. I am not one of those girls who give up in the first night of meeting or even the first three months. I really want to make a guy I truly care for wait for at LEAST a year, two is ideal. My father is the same way actually LOL. But of course guys want it quick. I am wondering if it is bad to make him wait if in a serious relationship? I have respect for my body and I want him to respect it too. I want to see if he is with me for sex or for love. I want to take things VERY slow and start out as friends and build it up like the old fashion way (that's the way I have been raised.) I am not religious like that but I thought I may wait 'til marriage... but that's unrealistic for me for I don't want to marry until I am like 30..and I don't want to be a virgin that long..
