I have read the Bible and I know God doesn't really like fornification but wait until marriage?, maybe He meant something else. I'm not saying sleep around with just anyone and be promiscuous but maybe there are exceptions. Just becareful who you do it with and choose wisely. Sometimes it just feels so right and what if I don't get married, I mean I don't even know if I want to get married. Does that mean no sex? Are you sure the Bible says wait until marriage to have sex?

The Bible warns against sex outside of marriage. This is clear.
So yes, wait until you are married, and then only have sex with your spouse.

It never says in the Bible to wait until marriage. That is a man made rule created to prevent unwanted pregnancies. The only rules that come directly from God are the Ten Commandments, and they only say not to commit adultery and not to covet your neighbor's wife. In other words, if you're not married and your partner isn't married, it's not a sin. It's only a sin if a married person has sex with someone other than his/her spouse.
That being said, God said to treat all people with love and respect, so it is a sin to have casual, one-night-only sex because you are using the person for your own gratification and not treating them as a human being with genuine feelings; and that's not the way God wants us to behave.

God created sex to be within the legal bonds of marriage.......i think that it is worth waiting, not only because it is God's will, but because it will be two times better when you KNOW it is the right person.

Yes!
In the bible when you have sex you are considered married in the eyes of GOD.

New American Standard Bible
"But if they do not have self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion."

Positive.
1 Corinthians 6:18-20 & 1 Corinthians 7:1-2
"Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband."

I'm sorry but there are no exceptions to fornication. I know that you want the pleasure, but you really have to wait until you are married. Just try to hold on and be patient. I know it's hard and disappointing, but there is no other way. I hope everything works out for you!

You shouldn't worry so much about what the Bible says. It doesn't apply to you.
The Bible was written to Christians. If you are not one-then don't sweat it. That will come later.

sex before marriage is repeatedly condemned in Scripture: Acts 15:20, Romans 1:29, 2 Corinthians 12:21, there's a bunch more if researched deeper.
abstinence is God’s only policy when it comes to sex before marriage. abstinence saves lives, protects babies, gives sexual relations the proper value, and most importantly honors God
