Wow everyone, i can't pick a "best answer" for this one..but all your answers were great.
see...my GF says that she is also waiting for marriage...but she also told me "if it happens, it happens"
but, if something starts happening...it will make it easier to just say no to her with all the things you guys just told me

Answer 1

It's important to monitor your activities. Try to avoid situations that would make premarital sex more likely. If you must date at this age, without the intent of marriage, consider group dates, and avoid isolated time alone. Remember that temptation alone is not a sin. Even Jesus was tempted. It's acting upon the temptation that is sin. God Bless, Miji

Answer 2

We are all human and we all make mistakes. God understands this. Ask God to forgive you and try to wait until marriage. Don't beat yourself up. None of us are worthy of God. I smoked cigarettes for years, yet I loved the Lord with all my heart. I quit more times than I have fingers and toes. Finally I quit trying and I told God I couldn't do it that He had to deliver me from smoking cigarettes and I begged God for 2 months and the next time I tried to quit God took the addiction away. I never wanted a cigarette again. When I gave up, God took over. Ask God to help you stay celibate until marriage. God understands how teenagers are tempted with sex. Take your questions like this to God and ask Him first because putting Him first gets these problems handled a lot faster. It is so nice to see a nice decent young man. May the Lord bless you.

Answer 3

if you chose God and want to be obedient because you love God, then you should repent and know that He forgave you when you asked for forgiveness. Your part is to not do it anymore because you were truley sorry. If you love your girlfirend then you will show her love by waiting because true love waits. Be a godly man and have some self control. Stop acting like the rest of the world. Just get up and start walking with God again. God bless you

Answer 4

Look i'm not telling you to have sex before you're married but God does forgive. I was raised strict baptist so i've heard all the rules and standards, but the thing that always got me was how unforgiving christians can be. I believe in God and I believe that he is an understanding and forgiving God. If you have sex before marriage you will still be able to do great things for Him. He will forgive you and you will move on. There have been plenty of people who have done worse things than that and went on to do great things.

Answer 5

You are right on dude!

If you say you are a lover, love your God. If you love your God you will respect his good wishes for you and the girl you think you love. If you love your girl, you will respect her by not having sex.

It's too easy to have sex and if you break up, it is like getting hit by a rock from the rejection thing and easy sex and the guilt afterward.

So my advice is to love yourself as a great find and in respecting your girl friend, you in turn, will love your God by doing the right thing. God knows the way for you.

So sign a pact with your girl friend, that says that you both will respect each other because you think she is the right girl and she thinks you are the right guy. Tell her your plan on staying away from easy sex as you said in your question. If she goes with it she may be your soul mate. If not, plan on trouble in the future from the complications of pre-marital sex. hw

Answer 6

First of all, do what you need to for you, not for God. There is always the risk of disease and of pregnancy no matter how much protection you use (I have two pill (different pills) babies and an "no, I'm sure the condom didn't break" baby). If you aren't ready to be a dad and don't want the risk of disease, wait for marriage. There are lots of ways to connect with out that part. Once you have been having sex for awhile, cuddling suddenly becomes a lot more satisfying, try it instead. If I'm not mistaken, the Christian God sent Jesus because he knew humans make mistakes and wanted you to have the chance to fix them. Your body will tell you to keep going, its part of the hormone system that keeps humans around, but you aren't losing anything or missing anything by waiting.

Answer 7

You will fail. Not only regarding sex, but in almost every aspect of life, we occasionally fail and sin. We're human!!
God recognizes that and that's why God, through Jesus, visited us, lifted us up in love, forgives our failures and cradles us as we try to work past the sins.
1) you try to do the right thing, avoid situations where there are pitfalls and try not to sin
2) if you sin, you own up to it; let God know that you've done something you think is not right in God's sight
3) you try not to judge others who may sin similarly and try not to make your love conditional on what you think is perfect behavior
4) you accept forgiveness; you are a child of Grace, loved by God no matter how crappy you may behave
5) you continue to try not to do what you perceive as sin
Remember that whole "loved and forgiven" thing! It's important.

Answer 8

Tell her NO. And if you really love each other, get married. Tell her if it is worth having, it is worth waiting. If it looks like things are getting close, try not to be alone with her. Go to social things, do family things. Ask your parents to help keep you busy, so you don't see as much of each other. If it should happen, you will probably brake up sometime later.

Answer 9

Think about how much God loves you that He made you to be like Him, to be the best you can be, to be a prince in His kingdom - ie; look at the young Prince in England and his girlfriend, they watch what they do at all times, because they represent their kingdom.
Rise above yourself, and see yourself as God see you - special, wonderfully made, and save yourself for the best, so you don't have to feel guilty etc, - and don't allow yourself to get into a situation that can create the vulnerability you are talking about.
Also, think of your girlfriend as someone's future wife, as a mom someday, and for now, as someone's daughter,and sister - your respect for her shows your manhood.
Anyone can end up having sex, but to be able to wait, that takes true courage, respect, and maturity!
Sounds like you can do it!
