Did anyone else think God would just "send the 'perfect' guy for you" into your life if you just adhered to purity culture?
How did you get over feeling so naive and bitter? Sure, I didn't rush to get married and end up feeling even lonelier in a relationship. But I missed out on so many possible connections and experiences trying to "hold out" for "the one." I never got to experience young love or make mistakes because I tried to be perfect, "pure" enough for the person I would end up with. Looking back it's all so stupid and *I * feel even more stupid. Waiting for signs that God would deliver a virgin guy into my life like it's Amazon fucking prime...So angry and frustrated when I think about it.
