How could I find a secular guy who’s open to waiting for marriage?

I’m toying with the idea of waiting for marriage to have sex but it seems like most guys who are into that are conservative, religious types that I wouldn’t be compatible with.

  • Well I think the big thing is going to be: Do you expect your future husband to be a virgin?

    It's really funny that you should ask this. I've been in an ongoing discussion about something similar with my female friend.

    I said to her... that I, personally... would actually NOT MIND AT ALL getting into a relationship with someone who wanted to wait for marriage. In fact, to be honest, I find the prospect of that attractive.

    My complaint is somewhat the same as yours. Most women who are waiting for marriage are conservative and usually relaigeous. But more importantly... they want a guy who has ALSO been saving himself for marriage. Which I do think is totally fair.

    So... you've definitely found ONE such secular guy who would be happy to wait for marriage... as long as you were OK with his having a past.

    But... if you don't want to marry me... I think it's a safe bet that there are other guys who are like me, when it comes to your question.

    Where or "how" to find a guy like that... I'm afraid I can't help you there.

    But we DO exist! :)

  • they are out there, you just have to state your rules. But likely going to be shy, introvert type. there is one out on GAG who wanted to, I think his girlfriend pushed him. you gotta look to the right kinds of guys...

    if it is "no religous" guys, that narrows the options more.

  • Waiting for marriage is for people willing to get married young. Human biology very strongly argues against long-term abstinence and for maximum intimacy with a permanent partner as soon as you both are ready. The known health benefits are myriad, and many more are apparent but not yet fully understood. Find yourself a good man, make sure he loves you enough to wait for a year or so, but then marry the poor son of a bitch before he loses his shit. Ignore the inevitable hordes of damaged and used-up people who will warn you about the dangers of love and devotion at too young an age, while they divorce and valtrex their way through their thirties.

  • Why would you want to punish yourself like that?

  • That’s very difficult

  • How young do you want to be married? I don’t see any guy waiting for years. Why do you want this?

  • Hmm good question. No idea honestly

  • take all the time you need, you will find some one for you

  • why would you be secular and wait for marriage?

    • i mean the number of religious guys willing to do that is shockingly low already. why reduce your chance from "something" to close to 0?

    • I don’t think it necessarily has to be a religious thing. I’m considering waiting because I don’t want to get married after having relationships with other guys and wish I’d only been that intimate with the one I actually stayed with.

    • Well yeah obviously. That's what waiting till marriage means. But why? What are you trying to achieve?

  • There is no way that you are a liberal and not religious but want to wait for marriage lol

    • You don’t need to have a non-traditional lifestyle yourself to be liberal.

  • Realistically speaking, that sounds like a difficult undertaking...

  • your looking for a friend not a boyfriend, boyfriend will expect sex always

  • That will be difficult because like all women you are seeking someone a little above your league. If you can lower your standards a bit and accept guys that think they are doing well, finding a secular guy willing to wait until marriage to have sex is a piece of cake.

  • Not sure the library?

  • Im in the same situation with genders reversed. I want to wait, have a lot of traditional ideas when it comes to love and sex, but I’m not at all religious, like not in any way XD im like a weird techno hippie with old fashioned moral values.

    pm me? Im 25 by the way

  • That is God speaking to you in metaphysical terms
    That way is not correct

    • @who ever liked my post 😎😎😎😎

  • Why is that important to you?

  • so why are YOU waiting for marriage if it isn't because of religious reasons? because secular guys don't care about sex AFTER marriage since it's a religious thing to begin with

    • I’m considering waiting because I don’t want to get married after having relationships with other guys and wish I’d only been that intimate with the one I actually stayed with.

    • you don't know you'll have that regret what are you basing this off? since you've had NO relationships.

  • I am that guy, but you wouldn't want me because i am a little weird. But it's hard to find a guy like that because guys from a young age are pressured by society to have sex.

  • It is a rare occurrence to find a guy like that, so just keep looking.

  • This is dumb, but you do you.

  • How do you know you wouldn't be compatible with those types of men? Some men who are extremely spiritual aren't into bossing others or highly pushing that lifestyle onto you.

    I'm sure many exist at museums and libraries.
