I think out of respect for the creator, I should follow his guide, and not have intercourse until I am married, am I really so alone?

No it is not. I found a man of morals that did not insist upon sex before marriage, and you will too!
It feels real good to have been married because we wanted to, not because we 'had' to!

I don't think it is too much. If that's what you want, so be it. Others gave some good idea where to look. If this is very important to you, then you should do what you can to improve your odds of finding someone like that.
I disagree that it is important. In fact I think it is a good idea to have sex before marriage.
In the olden days, when people were married by age 16 and contraception was not available it made good sense to be a virgin.
Today, people often wait until well in their 20's to get married. To expect people to wait that long before having sex is unrealistic. Also, I think cohabitating for a while before getting married is beneficial. Marriage is serious business. You need to know you can actually live with the person before you make such a serious commitment. Jumping in before you know how the person manages money, what they expect for sex and all the other little things is foolish. I suspect just jumping is partly the cause of why so many marriages end up in divorce.

If that's what you want, then all the more power to you. Maybe you could try going to some retreats for young Christian singles, or maybe join a Bible study group or Bible Club that is geared toward single adults. Most of the people in those types of settings would probably have the same values that you do. Maybe you're just looking in the wrong places. Remember, if you want someone who is all about saving sex for marriage, then it's probably best to look in places where those people will be found.
Also, I have to agree with others who say that your photo is sending mixed signals.

Maria, you're not alone! More than a few of us (both guys and gals) are also waiting until marriage for sex (it's really not as hard as some people here are trying to make it seem). With all the STD's running rampant out there, it's a practical piece of wisdom as well as a moral one to remain celibate prior to marriage!

Not if you are that religious. The answers mentioning Muslim, would not be pleased with your photo. More of a tease. Do you dress this way for church. Don't just talk the walk......Walk the talk. You would want to get on a Christian Internet site. Not here with answers from all different denominations of religion. Muslim men want women who cover their sexually.

No it's not Maria. I'm glad that you haven't fallen for today's immoral societies sales pitch and have kept your high standards to test a man's true love for you.There should be a dating site for virgins who want to wait for sex until their married. That should help make it easier to find a mate for God fearing male and females like yourself.

don't worry; it is commonly known that when marriage comes in sex goes out. it is nobody's fault it just happens, or doesn't happen, however you want to put it.
seriously though they are out there or at least this couple I know claim so. don't lead the man on so that he thinks maybe and it is a big: not!

This is your right to have this man you wish. but just be honest towards yourself and to others too and god will give you a wonderful man.If not in this world maybe in the other world if you are a believer.

Probably not.. just be careful you don't end up with one that doesn't want it after you get married either ;)
I wouldn't marry someone who didn't want sex, It's kinda important to know if you're compatible... if you're going to be married for a long time.

No, but it's not very common to find one. Sex isn't as meaningful as you seem to believe, there's really no reason to abstain. Still, you can find one who adheres to your value system if you try hard enough.
