Do Guys Like Girls Who Wait?

This the age old question. My mom says "yes", but it seems like all my female friend who are sexually involved are in relationships and people like me who chose to wait are alone. Whats up with that?

Well I'm 21 and I've waited. I also have a boyfriend that did not wait but is still with me so either he really likes me and cares enough about me to be okay with it.... or it's a huge goal for him to get me to give it up. I seroiusly doubt that's the case.

That's good. Sounds like a solid relationship. That is what I am looking for.

Some guys do and some don't. But that shouldn't be why you wait or don't wait! Any girl who IS alone b/c she's waited is going to be happy later on, when she meets a QUALITY guy who values her as she is and respects her decisions. Caving in and doing things you're not comfortable with just to be popular or well-liked hardly ever gets you the happiness and contentment that is so elusive in life, whether you're a teenager or adult. Do what you feel deep down is right, and best for you. Hang what others think of it. It's YOUR life, not theirs. You're entitled to make your own choices and decisions -- do so with lots of thought and wisdom. Good luck. :-)

Truthfully, a guy probably best likes a girl who waits FOR THEM :)

Thanks for the wonderful advice. I will continue to wait. I can honestly say that I haven't been in a real relationship yet and I am 24 years old. I sometimes think about whether the problem is me or is it the guys. I have come to realize that I have to be patient and give things time and eventually they will pan out. But I must admit, it is a hard task to wait this long.

Boys like girls who wait. And the ones who don't like girls who wait aren't worth giving up anything for.
