Dear admins, Please keep me anonymous . Hi! I'm a 16 year old girl. I am a believer in the no sex till marriage. I dot go to church every Sunday. In fact I don't go often. I have said many things and probably did some things I'm ashamed of. I have had a few boyfriends in the past and all I have done is kissed them. Im still a virgin. Even though I do not go to church every week I want to wait for someone special. The problem is these days all guys want is sex. All my friends talk about what's it like, but it's not me. I want to wait. I have told a few friends how I feel, I don't have many friends I can count on. I just wish more people would see why I want to wait. Please give me some advice. Why do so many people just go an do it to get over. How can I meet people my age that want the same thing and can help me get through this.

Firstly young lady it's a good thing that you desire.  But where does the logic of keeping your virginity come from?  It comes from God and is God's idea.  In order to follow through on this plan and not get sucked away by some filthy men who want to draw you away from purity I would suggest that you make an effort to begin to pray and to genuinely seek out and find a church where there are similar people like you who want to abstain but also who want to love each other in purity and to build a relationship with each other which is based on Christ and loving Jesus, for he's the one whom we should please first of all!!!  Did you know heaven's glory, comfort and guidance comes to the soul that will seek the Father in prayer and consecration and in offering of your life for His service!!!  It truly is a a JOY to seek the Lord and a pleasure to DO HIS WILL!!!  Think of marriage and a future mate as part of GOD'S PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE and in order to walk in that  you must also LOVE THE LORD and in that He will sort things out for you.     A little encouragement - only last night a friend of mine was telling me that he was amazed to see a girl reading her bible on the train, and through that he went and sat beside her and began talking to her.  Through that a relationship and they are now happily married in my church with two kids!!!  I am not saying every woman needs to get her bible out, but can't you see that the actual process of this woman selling herself out to God was the VERY TRIGGER THAT BROUGHT IN A GODLY MAN.   Seek peace, seek the Lord, and God will worry about the detail of your future relationships.  Plus remember that at the age of 16 you are quite young, so it might be healthy to date a few guys in a safe environment around church people without actually being forced to get intimate with them.  Another example - I was engaged in my early 20s to a girl and in the end things did not work out and we never got married.  It hurt us both at the time, but the fact that we had ABSTAINED FROM GETTING TOO CLOSE SEXUALLY meant that we both were able to move on and rebuild our lives.  God bless, take care and learn to love the Lord God Almighty and He will sort out the rest!!!
