True love waits???

New post... Yay!

So I came across a fellow blogger and her post for this week was very interesting. This is her blog if you want to check it out http://enjoyingthewritingcraft.blogspot.com/...
Her blog was about Purity. Now this is an idea that is very vintage indeed, the wonderful thing is that it is also very modern and why not? Very romantic.
Maintaining your purity for true love. I actually believe in this. True love waits, beyond what people think, or what is considered normal in society nowadays waiting for that one person that will love you beyond the one night and the pleasure of it, that will be with you when you wake up with bed hair and a smile.
In modern times one night stands are equal to Independence and being a smart young woman. But being pure and abstaining yourself from temporary belief is harder than you may believe. Constantly seeing your girlfriends with numerous guys, Valentine's Day and even romantic movies... Gosh do they kill me.
At the same time I know there is hope. I'm gonna fight it everyday, I'm not going to settle, I will not be ok with just some things, it's all or nothing.
Ok venting is over... Now let's get to it!
The idea of purity is like I said, vintage. Virginity was prized and expected. Visit to the parents and chaperones all were used to assure that you would maintain that virginity (Welcome to the double standards - were boys guarded the same way? I don't think so!). Anyway, knowing that you would give your unique present to your husband was a big fat WOW!...
Fast-forward to the present... I'm not going to sit here sipping on my iced white chocolate mocha and write about how it would be harder to find a virgin now than to find the necklace the old lady threw to the ocean in Titanic. Being a virgin is the exception not the rule now. Loosing "it", has become a myth and usually happens on important dates like prom, graduation, 18th birthdays, Summer vacations and who know what else!
What happened? When did being a virgin equal being a loser? No more wooing. No more meeting the parents before. No more waiting.
When did waiting for a special person become a struggle that you have to fight for, and that everyone encourages?

Does true love wait or does we just hop on the first thing that resembles it?

See you later until my vintage thoughts clash with my modern mind (or until I get a break from my last semester in my bachelor's degree)
