Question
I'm 18 years old and I am about to start college. I have taken the step in my Christian life and decided to remain pure untill marriage.I really want a boyfriend but the guys I run into only want me for sex. It's like that is the only thing on there mind now adays. But my question is when is it the right time to tell your boyfriend that you are waiting untill marriage?? Without scaring them off??? Thank you

Answer
Hi there Javine, My view is; if you have to tell the boyfriend you want to wait, then hes not the boy for you, because a Christian boyfriend should already know this & feel exactly the same.

My advice is look in the correct place for a Christian boyfriend, you will also find helpful biblical advice on the subject in a book entitiled; "Young People Ask". Its 39 chapters include:” “What About Sex Before Marriage?,” and “How Do I Know If It’s Real Love?” You may request a copy by going to www.watchtower.org.

all the best
