one of the big reasons many men and sometimes Christian men don't get in to relationship is when you tell them you will be chase till marriage and they leave. this has been my issue since2018 when I decided to rededicate my life to God. I don't regret it. However I am scared when I am being approached for a relationship and I'm 37
I understand your dilemma.
The same can be said of "Christian" women. Promiscuity is common practice.
I just explained to a friend who showed me the exceptional pretty face of a teenage model. I explained that I was surprised that 2 redheads that pretty were interested in me. One was my GF at a fundamental Baptist Church. She got hit on frequently while I was in Jr. Church teaching the boys.
I didn't feel threatened. If I found out she were unfaithful, she'd save me time narrowing options before I invested much time, money or wasted emotions on a wrong woman. She told me about it, so I appreciated her honesty and not trying to hide it. On the other hand, I asked her to be my assistant for the Sunday School hour to stop the nonsense and get her involved in my ministry. She would not so she became history instead of His story. The problem is that she wasn't accustomed to following a strong leader. The other big problem was that she was an impulsive slut as a teenager. If someone is addicted to drugs or guys early on, they tend to revert back to those sins when tempted as an adult. That doesn't make for a good future relationship/ marriage/ family.
She went to a Bible college in Florida and popped up with a summer dress and pretty dark tan. She wanted to get reacquainted and said she was lonely.
That was a big temptation, but I was the one who always set the boundaries. I decided to wish her well and leave her alone in the produce isle at Krogers.
Easter I had an hour + long pleasant conversation with a very attractive interior design major that actually was more like a date. We had a lot in common and a lot of mutual interest.
Although she was very happy that we were both Christians, I did not lead her to Christ to confirm that as a fact.
Saved, the Easter Story<...
Too many girls say they are saved, but don't really understand fully what that means. I know that you ladies have that problem with a lot of guys who just aren't frank and honest about their beliefs. As Christians, that is very important for all parts of life, especially when it comes to family.
If a guy wants to have sex, that's pretty normal. Ladies are the same way. I'm always the one to put on the brakes in spite of high T.
The problem is that ruins the future marriages in over half the population.
We have to set the boundaries and the world has a totally different set of standards.
