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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
