[EDIT] I realize that the thread title could be a bit misleading. I mean sex ONLY after marriage.
For all my life, I've always been a strong believer in abstinence until after marriage. It's not really about romance and it's not that I think it will not be enjoyable either. I just don't want to do it with anyone other than the person I will spend the rest of my life with. Well, maybe it does have to do with romance.
Do many other people in this day and age think the same way, or am I way too old-fashioned? Would guys be steered away from dating me if they knew this? I know some of you will say that if he really cared for me, he would respect my decision. That works in the beginning of a relationship, but after dating for a while isn't it probable that he will start getting frustrated at me for waiting?
Despite this I still want to wait, but I don't want sex-until-after-marriage to ruin my chances of even getting to the marriage step in the first place. Am I in for a lot of disappointment? And if I do get into a relationship, should I tell him about this from the beginning?
Note: I respect your opinion, but if you would like to suggest not taking the abstinence route, please be civil about it.
