How long are you willing to wait?

Do you have a cut off point?

Say you're still single and no one wants to marry you in 5 years time, but people are willing to date and fuck you. Would you 'give in' then?

What about in 10 years time?

/genuinely curious.

It's not so much serious versus non-serious answers. You're just asking a poor question. You're trying to ask people to put themselves in a situation that isn't concurrent with their current reality. Most people find that hard to do.

I don't really like you're going to get the right answers. In hypothetical situations people tend to stuck to their guns, not see the error of their ways. I doubt anyone choosing to wait for marriage would think "yea, if it gets to xYZ I won't wait. But until then, marriage all the way!"

That's like asking a newlywed couple "how long until you get a divorce?" no one thinks it will happen.



Yeah, i should have known better than to hope for serious answers.

A divorce is different because a number of things could go wrong. Here I gave a very specific scenario: no one wants to marry you. What now?

 My husband and I had sex before marriage, but we knew that we were going to be together Â

  Um, isn't that like every time you are with someone?


What?  

 If you are implying that's how I felt every time I was withsomeone, absolutely not.  The only person I ever truly saw myself with forever was my husband.


OK.
I just thought that you, as most people I know, date with people they want to date, not with people they want to break up.


wanting to date someone isn't the same as being confident you'll be together forever

I said I was waiting till I was married when I was about 15. To be honest it would just something to say and I didn't think I would go through with it. I'm 23 and still a virgin but I really doubt I will wait till marriage though. As long as I am in a relationship with someone I can potentially see myself with in the long run, its all good. At this rate I will be a 40 year old virgin lmao I'm so picky

When I had the intention of waiting, it was for however long it took.
 

 Use your imagination.


The answer is the same, I intended to wait, no matter how long it took, and I would have.

Play my game!

did you last til marriage?


Unfortunatly, No.  I wish I had however.  I let a pushy ex, talk me into having sex, and I really only did it, so as not to lose him.  I don't really regret it, but I would have done it differently.  My husband and I had sex before marriage, but we knew that we were going to be together, which is why I didn't think twice about it.  Not only that, I was already not a virgin.
