As for waiting for a man, I really didn't have to wait that long since the first man I was ever in a real relationship with was the man I married at the age of 20. Now I hope since we are all adults this conversation is appropriate here as what I waited for and I found to be very special and worth it was waiting til my wedding night to have sex. Back in the 80's when I was in a relationship with my boyfriend/ future husband and eventually married in 1987 this was not the norm. My parents however instilled this value in me and it became very important. I also loved that my future husband also held this value. It made my wedding night very much worth waiting for. If this post is not appropriate please tell me and I will delete it.
