Trust me as a guy, I would welcome a relationship with a girl who has never kissed anyone. In the future, this would be something I WANT.
Don't feel bad, I have never "officilally" gone on a date period, much less kissed anyone. Just glad I'm not alone in this....

Awwwww, that is a nice post. I wish I would have known that guys felt like this years ago. It would have sure taken some of the heat off of dating pressure. The girl that wins your heart will certainly be blessed, Grommit!
Not as blessed as the man that wins you. He will be the lucky one. ;)

hehe, you are too kind. :hug:

I can say the same thing. I've never been kissed, dated, or anything. And that is perfectly normal. And it's great to know that there are guys out there who are the same way. I wondered if any of all were left... which leads to the question....... Where are ya'll at???? I can't seem to find a Christian man.........totally tired of be alone....

And before anybody says it, I know that it is all God's timing but I am soooooooo tired of being by my self.... after almost 25 years of single, I'm ready to move on with life and have that somone special in my life :clap:

And also for those that are waiting.... good for you, it is soooo worth the wait......I know it will be beyond words when we finally meet that one that God has for us :clap:

I am reminded of the life of Saint Claire; she lived her entire life in celibacy, dedicating it comletely to the Lord and His work. She lived out her days in purity and total separation from the desires of the flesh...truly a genuine female role model.

The less you have dated or been in romantic relationships before means less emotional baggage that could get in the way of a future relationship, which is a big plus.

A disadvantage may be that you might be a bit awkward in getting things started or knowing what to do and when..this goes both ways, male or female. Concentrate on being friends first, and then take it from there.

There is no need to be ashamed. I think that's totally cool! :p

I perfer to marry a virgin but I also knew in this day and age that would be hard to come by and I thought my wife would be partly soiled, but, wow. As a guy, I must admit, I think it's awesome to know there are still pure girls around. ;)

Go ahead and keep your standards high but keep them realistic. There is no perfect guy so don't waste your time looking for him. there are only real people with real problems. Just make sure the guy is walking with the lord. It will help in many ways.

As for loosening up around guys, well... kissing them might help! (heh, Kidding!) Just be yourself. I like girls who are themselves. What more can I say? (really, what more can I say? I just dont know. Sorry. heh)

Oh btw, I'm 25 and never been kissed either. I've never dated anyone as well let alone held a girls hand on a romantic level. maybe I am the freak?

Just be sure you can cook well and you will be ok. :D
That is awsome...
I am 22 and am in the same shoes as you Grommit.
Oh btw, I'm 25 and never been kissed either. I've never dated anyone as well let alone held a girls hand on a romantic level. I don't see to many guys who are willing to wait or in my case been spared from unnecessary relationships. I just thank God for keeping me from dating just to date when I was younger.
Now I know better, but it has also been getting harder to keep my mind pure. I pray to God to Keep renewing my mind. Especially with the girls that go to my school who wear the smallest and most transparent things--even in winter under their coats! They so badly want attention. I guess it just proves that there is a God.
I am not saying that I would ever consider these girls for a romantic relationship. I am just saying that I need to pray to keep my mind away from unpure thoughts.
But hopefully soon I will find "her" as God brings us together.

Hey I just want to remind you that you have not been waiting for almost 25 years. (I am saying this with a smile and not in a rude manner, smile, smile, smile) But you know that for the first 2 years of your life you had your dippers changed, then the next 4 or so years you were not potty trained. The next four years you most likely wanted to play tag and duck, duck, goose. This brings us till your about 10 which has you waiting about 15 years. Unless you wanted to get married at 10 then you have no more than 15 years waiting.

I don't know are you one of the girls who have been planning their weeding since they were 10? I don't know if you are, but I do know a handful who have.
But from the age of 10 till maybe let say 18 you were still finding yourself.

And I quote "If you dont know who you are then you cant really find that perfect person for yourself."

Well from 18 till now (25 you say) you have 7 years of waiting.

So you have probably been waiting for 7 years.
That is all for now.
God Cares.
Hector ;)

Ya know, that is a whole lot better way of looking at it....only seven years...sounds so much better than 25.... :p

And I would have to say that I have never been one to dream about my wedding day, just the marriage part. The good and bad :)

Thanks,
Anna

I have not been on a date either. Or done any thing physically or romantically with a girl.. yet. (waiting for marrige).

I feel that the current culture has rushed everyone to start dating sooner. I am not sure but I dont think that about from 100 years ago and beyond people did not date that much. People did not go from one person to another with in weeks or months from each other. I suspect that people probably dated like no more than 5 time before they got married.

Does anybody know any history on this topic?
Got any numbers?

You'll pardon me for not joining in the back-slapping but I think that refering to any woman as 'partly soiled' to be highly derogatory. I also find it startling that the women on this thread think that this is in some way endearing.:scratch:

The rest of your post does contain some wisdom however.

Okay I am kind of ashamed to come out and say this, especially in a society that is so based on this kind of thing, but I am 23 almost 24, and never have been really offically kissed! i've dated a couple of times, but it never got to far....is that a total turn off to guys?
Is there something wrong with me? Do i have my standards set to high? I get really self conscious around guys that I like, so a lot of guys probably think I am snotty. But I am totally normal around guys that I know are "taken" and can be the total goof that I am....how do i loosen up around guys? :confused:
peteey,

Your a pup, barely out of diapers!! I don't think you have anything to worry about. Here I'll make you feel better about yourself. I'm 30 never been kissed. However, I have been threatened that I was going to get shot. Told not to call.. I think twice. Um,, well you get the idea. :D

It's a real easy process. I sit in my front yard in a lawn chair, and wait for God to them send floating down with an umbrella like Mary Poppins. ;)

Your a pup, barely out of diapers!!
:scratch: Pardon me, but almost 24 isn't "barely out of diapers". Being in your mid-30's isn't too far away from where you're at in life. I found that statement (as playful as it may have been) kind of offensive.

Anyway, there is *nothing* to be ashamed of just because you have virgin lips. What a beautiful thing! Many Christians can say they saved their physical virginity until their wedding night, but how many Christians can say they've saved their kiss? I have lived a shameful past of sexual promiscuity and I'm so happy to say that while I can't get back six years of sexual purity, I have prayed for God's forgiveness and I know that He has made me spotless and new and I am planning on saving my kiss and everything that comes with it until my wedding day. Being 100% chaste can bring you no harm or pain. It's God's plan for you and your body and soul. It's God's way of ensuring your heart and body are protected. God wouldn't command us to remain pure in thought and in deed if it weren't for our own good.

I love the analogy of a present. Your purity is a gift from God. It's God's gift for you to give to your spouse. God designed us with a desire to give and receive pleasure, but ONLY within the confines of marriage. Anyway, there is a beautiful package wrapped in gorgeous paper and topped with an extravagant bow. Kissing someone passionately is like removing the bow from that present. Does it look as pretty? Can you resist the temptation of opening it up all the way?

I recommend reading all three of Joshua Harris's books; "I Kissed Dating Goodbye", "Boy Meets Girl", and "Not Even a Hint". I pray you will seek God's guidance in this matter. Bless you.
