I see you got mocked for this but you're right. I am much happier, even at times when I'd really like to be with someone, than my acquaintances who are out having sex.... one of my friends is pregnant, with no expectation that the guy will marry her. Another is suffering three years later from emotional problems that I think relate to her being promiscuous in her teenage years. And my male friends don't get why none of their relationships ever work out....
It's frustrating to wait but the other choice is much, much worse.
you're on the right track. Just don't turn into quivering jello and try to justify or explain yourself or defend your stance - you don't owe anyone any explanations. Stay strong, quietly, without nervous mumbles to cynical audiences. Sapirit is on your side :)
Yup. Life isn't easy. There's no point in making it even harder.
