I'm a christian and believe in no sex before marriage and i want to marry someone who also feels this way so should I not even consider being with people that aren't virgins and share the same belief as me because I will never be with them for the rest of my life? Also my incorrect age is in this sorry, I am 17.

You don't choose who you fall in love with. But you do get to choose who you allow yourself the opportunity to fall in love with. Stay with people who share your beliefs and you will be a lot happier.

My advice is just keep your beliefs to yourself whenever possible. Most sexually active people cannot understand the difference between you wanting to be with the right person for you, and you judging them for their sexual habits.

You could do that, but you may find that you won't find the person who you were meant to be with, and no guarantee that you will find happiness. I am sorry but as long as the person respects your beliefs and can accept you for who you are, that is the most important thing. Love does not work that way, sometimes the person who you fall in love with does not always match up to your list of what you think you wanted. Your still very young, it's good to know what you want, but not to the exclusion of all other possibilities. I am Christian and my boyfriend is an athiest, I would never have thought I would fall in love with someone who is an athiest, but he is a wonderful man who treats me with respect, loves me for who I am and accepts me for myself, and I accept him for himself, that is the most important thing in life.
