Okay, I am 23 years old and I am a virgin. I grew up in a conservative family and as a young girl, I wanted to wait until marriage. Well, now I think that waiting is too much of a wait because I am unsure if I really want to get married. I have not really had any long term relationships because I think that my virginity is an issue. Is waiting for the right person (not necessarily getting married) all that it's cracked up to be or should I just do it already?
I am confused. I've waited this long, so a part of me feels like I owe it to myself to wait for the right person. But on the other hand, men are retarded and I don't have faith in them anymore. What do you all think? A part of me thinks that this will really help my dating life, but is that really valid? If a guy truly likes me for me, would he really be willing to wait until I am ready, which to be honest, won't be that long. Or is that just a load of crap?
Update: Fyi.. for sure i'm not waiting until marriage. let's just get that straight. i'll be too old by the time I start having sex. oh, and if I do decide to have sex, it won't be with some random guy, it will be with a friend. =)

As a guy who is still a virgin himself, I know it can be frustrating to be bombarded with people having sex all the time. However, I feel waiting means when I decide to, which is when I get married, then it will be special. The woman I'm with will know I didn't just jump into bed with any woman I could have. I agree, a lot of guys are retarded (yes, I'm knocking my own gender) and can be jerks. I'd say maybe some of your feelings about being unsure about getting marriage stem from the fact you haven't had any long term relationships or any strong relationships. When you find a guy who you really care about and who cares about you you will feel special knowing you didn't just throw away your virginity to the first guy available. Keep looking for that right guy. Even though it may feel like you hunting for a needle in a haystack. Nice guys are out there, probably right under your nose but overshadowed by all the stupid retarded jerks.
Well, it's kind of a you decision, not anyone else's. If you think about what you're going to gain from waiting until marriage, you'll see the choice already made. You could see it purely as an empty exercise, and you're just missing out on a couple years of sex, or you could see it as something truly meaningful. (which it is.) I guess I'm saying that it's something that you can listen to hundreds of opinions on, make a decision, and still be unhappy with what you chose, so you have to kinda ask yourself. That make sense?
Do what feels right like you said don't have it with some stranger have it with someone your in love with cause if your not in love then there's not point that's just asking for a one night stand and plus when you do have sex its going to be painful but magical cause your with the one person that you wanted to be with
Waiting is the best thing, I mean like you said you've waited this long, don't give that up, you will find the right guy for you. sometimes it just takes a little longer than you would hope.
I waited a long time too, and I always wondered whether I was missing out on something because I'd hear all my friends talking about sex, and I'd see sex on television and in movies constantly. It seemed like I was making a big deal out of not doing it while everyone was talking about.
But I'm glad I waited. I went out with my first boyfriend for eight months before we had sex, and he had lots of sex before me, but he waited for me because he cared about me. When it actually happened, I was in love, in a committed relationship and, unlike the stories told by my friends and in movies, losing my virginity was not painful/shameful/hurtful/ugly. It was great because the guy I was with understood my choices.
Don't jump into anything. Wait until you find someone you can trust and you feel comfortable with. It's an experience you'll remember for the rest of your life, and like you said, "guys are retarded" so you don't want to remember one of those guys forever. I don't necessarily think that you should wait until you get married, but definitely wait until you're in a relationship where you feel loved and understood.
I personally don't think sex would help dating life because then you'll be wondering around if he likes your for yourself or he wants your sex,the other hand if a guy really really likes you,then he will respect your decision and he'll wait until you are ready. I believe sex makes relationships a little complicated and lets be honest we women are more sensitive than guys and we are mostly "feeling" when guys are mostly "Thinking", so when we have sex with the someone and later the relationship ends, we get hurt more than the guy.
I personally would wait for the right person because I already have enough things to think about and I don't want my sex life to be another trouble for me,we all deserve a happy healthy safe sex life and we choose when,where and how to start it. I find it hard to trust people these days and that's why I see this as a big risk. Again,it's something you should make the final decision about it,but I suggest you don't do something you might regret when you look back GOOD LUCK sweetie :)
You said it yourself: you have waited this long, so don't just throw it away. I'm not saying you have to think the guy is The One or something, but don't just hop into bed with the next guy you date just to be having sex. You'll always remember your first time. Do you really want that memory to be of a guy you had sex with a couple times and then it didn't work out? You'll have a ton of sex in your lifetime. At least let your first time be somewhat special.
