I'm saving myself for marriage But I Can Still Be In A Fulfilling relationship Today

Saving yourself doesn't you have to avoid a relationship altogether.

I want a relationship. I love the idea of dating and getting butterflies in my stomach around cute guys. I love being flirty and putting myself out there. I want to go on dates. I want to find love. I don't care if I have to date one guy or one hundred guys to find the one but I'll find him one day.

I do find it hard to find someone who is ok with the fact that I'm saving myself.

There is nothing wrong with not saving yourself for marriage. I feel everyone should choose to do what they want to do and they should do it without worrying about what other people think. My body is my body, your body is your body, and no one should worry about what other people think.

I just find that whenever people or potential boyfriends find out that I'm saving myself for marriage, he thinks I don't want to date. Well, SURPRISE, I do! And you are kinda cute so I'd like to date you. Dating is about getting to know a person and seeing if the two of you are compatible.

I decided before I even knew about dating that I wanted to save myself for marriage. It's something I've always wanted to do. It's as a part of me as my hair is.

I just need people to know and understand that my sex life, or lack of it, does not have to interfere with my dating life. They can be separate. I have chosen to make mine separate. That's my choice, that doesn't have to be your choice.

I want to have a boyfriend, I want someone to eat popcorn with at the movies. I want a boyfriend to bring home. I want someone to go fishing with. I even want a guy to take me to parties with his friends.

I just also want to save myself for marriage.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
