Dear Waiting For Love,

I was in your same position a few months ago, so I understand what you're feeling like.

But I hope you decide to stay strong and not give in to any guy who is pressuring you to have sex. Sex before love could feel good physically but would be meaningless.

Having sex too early complicates things, so make sure you are in a strong relationship. When you find yourself in love and feel really comfortable with your boyfriend then let him know you're ready to take your relationship to the next level. But don't decide what to do based on HIS terms.

You want to be able to tell your daughter your "first time" was with a special guy and encourage her to wait until she is ready as you did.
