thats y i say that it's ok to date around but dont screw around=dont have sex till your married.
I say that bc by that point u will be with someone who you love and vice versa.
and if your both virgins I promise you this, the first time wont seem like much but you wont regret it and it will only get better.
But I do hope that you stay with her.
no matter what. dont give up dude.
you will have a very hard time in the near by future but if you love her the way I think you do, you will be just fine
