Should I just give up on romance?

[Bekka Bee]

I am not having sex until I'm secure inside of marriage. I'm just not. Men my age just don't see any point in dating unless there's sex involved. That's fine, that's their prerogative, but I'm sick of feeling like there's part of me missing because I lack a boyfriend and also feeling as though I have to do something I'm against in order to get that which I lack (a man). So many men try to make me think it wouldn't be that big a deal to just give it up. They're not the ones who could get pregnant. They're not the ones who will experience the pain of popping the hymen and then never be able to get the hymen back. They're not the ones who will be impacted more emotionally by the experience. To them it's just a game. I know it's what men all want, but it's not what I want right now. Should I just give up on dating?
