I have an aunt who saved herself for marriage. She was proposed to several times and accepted more than once, but each time the men assumed that meant sex was now on the table. Once they realized she truly meant after marriage, the relationships ended either because they kept pressuring her for sex or because they cheated. She’s now in her 50s, still single and still a virgin. Waiting doesn’t guarantee shit!
I’m sorry that was your experience, but as someone who loves movies. It made the experience of watching a move so much more than just pressing play. We got dressed, drove to blockbuster & browsed the aisles together or separately picking our own movies. Hoping the movie you wanted was in stock(having a backup in mind) Then we met at the snack section & grabbed popcorn & Buncha Crunch & gummy bears. We stopped & grabbed takeout on the way home & picked whose movie to watch first. It was an experience that has been minimized to browsing Netflix for 25 minutes and still not knowing what to watch, till eventually settling for watching the same show/movie you’ve seen 100x just so you can scroll on your phone 2/3 of the time.
Especially the good things, the big amazing breakthroughs! The love, the family, the friends, the beauty, the joy.. don't ever think it can't happen to you too!
