Search Results: talking to your guy friends about sex

I’m 25, and I'm waiting until I graduate and get married to have sex, so dating in the stereotypical sense is out of the question for me...

My classmate is the first guy I've ever admired. He’s extremely intelligent, diligent, polite, considerate, gentle, and despite the fact that he lost his mom at a young age, he’s so lighthearted. After I started to have feelings for him, I tried to avoid talking to him because I didn’t want to lead him on. But I’ve come to care for him so much that I literally can’t keep my feelings bottled up. I want to confess my feelings to him if I find out he won’t be in a class with me next semester with us, so that I don’t make things awkward if we are in the same class. I know it doesn’t make sense to confess feelings to someone when even if they were interested, because most likely they wouldn’t be willing to wait for me (for my education to be over in two years, and waiting for sex with me until possible marriage) But he has come to mean the world to me that if there's a chance he would be willing to wait for me, I feel compelled to confess.

I think he does like at least somewhat because I saw a look of sadness when he saw me ask his friend a question, and even though his friend was about to help me, he immediately cut in so that he was the only one helping me. When he sits beside me, I’ve seen him countless times openly staring (sometimes smiling at me randomly), reading texts I was sending to my friend (I even caught him once and he continued to try to read anyways for another 10 seconds lol), he openly eavesdrops a lot on me in class, etc.

If you were in your 20's and truly liked a girl, and she confessed feelings for you but she explained that she was in the same situation that I am in, would you be willing to wait for her, as in go your own separate ways for a few years and then date without sex? Or would you think she was being ridiculous for asking so much?

Thank you for your input!
